ing OF COUNCIL
The City of Seward was served
with a trespassing notice yesterday,
it was revealed at last evening’s regu
lar meeting of the council, tempar
arily holding up the construction of
a roadway to connect the Jesse Lee
Home road to the new tract of land
to be used for cemetery purposes.
The matter is under advisement as
it is believed the trespasing notice
has no bearing on the particular
tract of land the road will tru'\ erse.
Bids were received from Louis
Simpson and C. A. McDougal for the
construction of the road mentioned
above. They were laid over until the
next meeting.
Claims, totaling $1,131.61 were reg
ularly ordered paid and warrants
drawn covering same. These in
cluded street payroll $153.00; rent
$175; light, telephone and power
$221.47; Seward Water and Power
company $127.50; P. C. McMullen
$1.00; Alaska Transfer $66.00: Brown
& Hawkins $6.90; Gateway Publish
ing Company SS.10; Ogle’s Garage
$20.9S.
The ordinance fixing the rate oi
compensation for the various city of
fices was read and after considerable
■discussion laid over until the next
meeting. No applications were re
ported on file for municipal positions.
Under the head of reports from
comihiiltees the finance committee,
presented with their approval, the
audit of the city office books for the
period ending April 11, 1926. The bill
of Mr. Ulshagen, auditor was ordered
paid.
The communication from the Sew
ard Machine Shop, in which the price
of a motor was quoted, was ordered
filed.
Prior to the closing of the session
Mayor Ray addressed the council
dwelling forcibly on the importance
of securing the utmost efficiency in
the fire and police departments; that,
in his opinion, there should be one
man at the head of each of these de
partments and there should also be
one man employed under the juris
diction of the street committee. How
ever, if the council saw fit to combine
the offices of the fire and the police
departments, he would certainly
abide by their wishes in the matter.
To have two men stationed in the
fire hall, a chief for each department,
would be a matter of much economy,
he stated, after which he pointed out
his reasons.
Regarding filling the municipal
position Mr. Ray was emphatic in de
claring applications should be re
ceived from the several positions and
that only as a last resort should the
council take it upon themselces to
elect or appoint men to the offices.
“There may be a good many citi
zens in our town who may want to
tender applications for some of these
positions,” Mayor Ray said, “and I
am heartily in favor of giving them
the opportunity.” The present offi
cers will hold over until the offices
are filled. The report of recommenda
tions from Supt. of Schools Barnett,
was read and is published elsewhere
in this issue. The council was in
session for three hours.
