COMPLAINING OF RAUER,
Merchants Protest Against His
Work on the Old City
Hall.
DEBRIS BLOCKS THE STREET.
Removing the Building and Material
Being Done In an Unlawful
Manner.

The manner in which Jake Rauer is hav-
ing the work done in tearing down the old
City Hall under his contract with the
and fast into that Office. Taylor Rodgers,
the Mayors private secretary, said yester-
day in discussing the matter:
There has been number of complaints
coming into this Office relative to the man
ner in which Rauer is tearing down the old
hall. The business men near the old rock
cry complain that they have been and are
still being much damaged in business
way by the methods which Rauer or the
contractor under him employ IN doing the
work"
The contract provides that fence suita-
BILE for the purpose shall be maintained at
the outer portion of the sidewalk during
the continuance of the work in removing
the building; that the work shall be done
in 120 days after the date of the contract,
which is June S, and that at the termina-
ton of the contract good board fence, six
feet in height, shall be erected on the inner
line of the sidewalk; that the sidewalk
shall be properly maintained and sup
ported during the work of the removal of
the building.
chant at 706 and 10 Kearny street. said:
81 have lost fully $50 day in my bust
ness. 1t has been completely ruined, be-
cause of the fact that everybody is COM
PEELED to pass by on the other side of the
street.
'The dust and sand fly all over every
thing and literally render it impossible for
me to do any business worth mentioning.
"We complained some time ago to the
Mayor as to the negligent manner in which
the work was being done, and Rauer
agreed that he would remedy the matter
and remove the debris, brick and lumber,
SO as to give passageway, but it has not
been done.
1--WE renewed our complaint but day
or so ago, but as yet there is no change for
the better. Superintendent of Streets Ash
worth and his deputy, Crow, think have
been active and fair in the matter, but it
is claimed that the Mayors contract went
beyond the law in the matter, and gave
Rauer certain privileges beyond the law,
but as to that l know nothing, but do
know that if Rauer did not make a store
house of the street from which to sell and
deliver the brick, stone and lumber of the
old building that we men doing business
on this side of the street need not be made
to suffer so by an almost total loss of bust
ness"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-23

Stikene rivers-and the lower waters of
those streams lie in American territory.
The Chilkat and Chilkoot passes-the only
passes through the rough Bald Mountain
country-are also on American soil. Con-
seouently America controls the trade of a
large section of British territory and Amer
lean ships carry all its imports.
"But what England now proposes to do
is to establish the boundary somewhere in
about the center of the inside passage. If
she accomplishes this she will obtain ac-
cess by water to the interior, her ships will
carry the imports and the trade OF that
section will go to Victoria instead of to
San Francisco. Some of it has already
been diverted by her action in placing Gus
toms officers at Forty mile Creek on the
Yukon, which is just across the line from
Alaska proper.
cat the present time people bound for
the mines go by way of Chi1cat Pass, but
the Journey is so difficult that all supplies
are taken around the longer route, by way
of the Yukon River.
This the British Government aims to
prevent. Surveyors have been at work
striving to discover feasible railroad
route through Chiikat P ass, and in case
England wins on the boundary question
undoubtedly such road will be built, and
it is equally certain that 1t would seriously
affect our Alaskan trade. AS have said,
the boundary question is not a new one.
The propensity of the British lion to hog
everything in sight was evidenced in this
case long ago, for no sooner had Juneau
CITY begun to assume some commercial
Importance than the claim was made that
it stood upon British SOIL"

The pretext upon which Great Britain
proposes to claim change in the bound
airy line, as explained by those who have
made a study of the subject, seems almost
puerile. Southeastern Alaska is largely
composed of adjacent islands, there being
but narrow strip of the mainland which
owns the authority of the United States
In the treaty which determined the origi-
nal boundary line England yielded ten
leagues Thirty miles, back from the coast.
When the maps were drawn the coast line
of the mainland, the continent, was, of
course. taken as the base of measurement.
Now, it is understood, Great Britain claims
that the general outline of the continent
as shown on a map with the islands in
Guided should be the base. If that conten-
ton prevails, not only will the United
States lose Juneau City, the large Ad-
miralty and Kupreanoff islands, the famous
Glacier Bay and several harbors, but the
United States military post, Fort Wrangel,
which is now thirty miles within the
Alaskan line, will be almost an equal dis
lance within British America.
