REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
Two New Members Appointed Tak

Been Dropped from Role
The Seward Volunteer Fire depart
ment, at its regular monthly meeting
last evening, following a motion duly
made and seconded, donated the
huge sum of $S7,000 to the Seward
t Post of the American Legion, with
the assisting them in acquiring a
club house.
u i, aias—me money was pnuuy.
The script, printed by the bunch of
“counterfeiters” employed by The
Gateway, ran off thousands of dol
lars of the bogus lucre for a propos
ed “Days of ’98” affair some months
ago, which was postponed. Since
that time the big bank-roll has been
tucked away safely in the cast-iron
time-lock vaults, located next to the
sewer pipe in the Fire Hall. The
local A. L. Post is giving a “Hi Yu”
masquerade the latter part of this
month and needed the green-backs
for making small change at the door
and at the gambling games which -
will be one of the features of the
coming affair, with the sky the limit.
Following the donation, secretary
and1 treasurer, Leon Urbach render
ed the treasury report, in which it j
was stated there remained but $130.46
in the firemen’s fund. For fear the
money might be burned up it was
decided, with much added gusto, to *
put on a Boston baked-bean feed, -
Tuesday evening, at 6:30 o’clock, Oc- I
tober 20.
Frank B. Murphy and Robert Man
they were dropped from the rolls of
the organization due to non-attend
ance at the meetings. It was regu
larly moved and seconded that Tom
Roberts and Charles Cooper be re
instated, which was done, bringing
the total membership up to normal—
20 members. According to the role
call, at the beginning of the meet
ing, a number of the fire lads, “just
saved themselves,” at least that is
what the secretary said, and he ought
to know.
Under the disguise of “for the good
of the order,"‘A. H. L. Meyers, call
ed the members attention to the woe
ful condition of the alleyway be
tween First and Second streets. One
large stump, has for years been serv
ing as a blockade and it was stated,
providing this was jecked out, the
alleyway would permit of easy ac
cess in case of fire at any of the
surrounding dwellings. Fire Chief
Martin Lanning stated the matter!
would be taken care of immediately, j
The only bill presented to the sec
retary for payment was that of the
Seward News Co., amounting to $2.95
for high-class literature, such as the
Police Gazettes, etc., purchased dur
ing the past month. This was order
ed paid.
With regard to the bean feed, it
was decided the members of the
town council rnight be in need of
a good feed so it was unanimously
agreed that an invitation to the Al
askan strawberry banquet be extended
the city dads.
Thirty seconds following the mo
tion to adjourn, the fire hall -was de
serted like an old-time placer camp,
and as quiet as a graveyard.
C. O. Campbell, one of the officers
of the Alaska Dirigible Corporation,
returned to his local headquarters
yesterday, from a business trip to
the Westward districts.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce,
