The city council has under advise ment a proposition for enabling the people of Valdez tc build substan- tial breakWater across the flat above town, which will divert all of the water of the glacier stream into the lake stream. The plan is to secure, if possible, the passage of bill through congress allowing the town bO issue bonds for an amount suf1i- cient to do the work properly next season. It is thought such bill will meet with no opposition, and as the cost of the work will not exceed $15,- 900, the bonds can be retired by the town within ten years without plac- ing any great burden on the tax-pay- CTS. The glacier stream work costs the city annually more than $15OO, and by the expenditure of the lump sum next summer there would be no necessity for further expense, and large part of the townsite which is now unused, would become valuable. The plan is a sensible one and every property owner should sign the peti- tion to congress asking for the pas sage of such bill.
