A TOWNSHIP MEETING.
Important Steps Taken About Surveying Front Street.

Surveying Front Street.
 On Tuesday night, in response to 8 call from D. McKinnon, chairman of shc townsite committee, there wAs . large meeting of the property owners in Wrangel at the court house. Messrs. Brown and Davidson, the civil engineers, had large map of the townsite, taken from their recently-made field notes, spread out conveniently on table for general in- spection. Considerable time was taken by these gentlemen in answering many questions put to them by interested persons in reference to lines of certain streets, etc.
 Mr. McKinnon called the meeting to order, and gave general statement of the object of the assemblage, which was to take such action as would enable the surveyors to go on and complete their work, and finish the survey of the town, so the principal streets could be dctincd and people could know the lines of their lots. Mr. Brown, the en- gincer, then explained in reference to the map, that in the case of Front street he had followed existing lines as near ly as possible, and that the lines of the proposed back streets are more in the nature of suggestions, and that un- doubtedly many of them would have to be changed when the streets should be run. He said it is impossible to go on with the work of surveying until the property owners on Front street had agreed on the lines of the street. His corps of surveyors is large and expen- sive, and he is anxious to finish the work He had agreed with the town site committee to do the surveying of the town for five dollars per lot, the money to be put up in the hands of Robert Reid, and paid out as the survey was made.
 Captain Calbreath said some people did not understand the nature of the meeting, and if it were ad djourncd two days. and everybody notified. they could have d chance to be present. and there would be no chance to kick He saw no indians present.
 Mr. Brown said he had scattered hand bills, giving 30 hours previous notice of the meeting all over town.
 Mr. Jensen said that they had tried three times to get d meeting, and that this was the best attended of any, that i few indians had any property interests on Front street. that Front street is in a deplorable condition. and that now is as good time to begin as any. Captain Callbreath moved to adjourn till Thursday night, and the motion prevailed.
 After the adjournment. the suggest pointed to canvass the property owners on Front street and get their written acceptance of the lines as given on the Brown-Davidson map. The meeting was accordingly re-organizcd. and Mr. Mckinnon appointed, by the authority of the meeting, Messrs. r. C. Jensen, F. $. Willson. and B. A. Stephens as such committee, whcrcupon the meet ing adjourned.
