 N.w Election Proposition

MHW .IEskNW I"iaAaa'r'~''
 Councilman Britt presented 8 prop. osition from business men of the city statlnr that electric power could be brought from the Alaska Gastineau company for between three and a hali and four and a half cents per kilowa' and asked that the council obtain fl cures on the cost of constructing pole lines and wiring to cover the city.
 Mayor Reck stated that in his opin' ion the cost was high as they city would have to pay the original cost of installing the poles and wires and maintenance. The cost of installation and maintenance would eat up any profits which might be made on the deal he stated. Mir. Britt stated that he would have figures prepared for the consideration of tho council and that he merely brought the matter up for discussion aB he had promised the business men he would do.
 Annexation Desired
 Hugo Heidhorn appeared and asked the council if the city considered hold ing another election for the annexa. tion of the tide lands and seid that a change in sentiment had been mani fest among the residents.

 Charles Carter. on behalf of the fire department asked the council to con- slider the matter of purchasing a fire engine for the city department The council. after discussing the matter with Mir. Carter. declined to consider it unt1 the arrival of Mir Lewis. Af- ter the council had ascertained what action he meant to take in regard to the water supply of the city. the suo' feet would be brought up.
 Fire Chief Fireman stated that the city dock and the school building were without chemical fire protection and he was instructed to secure one dozen pyrene fire extinguishers and distri- bute them.

CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT CABARETS

Since Chief Healey has refused to
act upon the reports of Morals In
spector Hanna, the city council is
going to see what it can do about
them. An order was passed yester-
day calling upon Second Deputy
Funkhouser to report weekly car
baret doings to the council. The al
dermen want to see what sort of re-
ports have been handed in by Hanna
and why no action has been taken.
Another order, introduced by Aid.
Kimball, asked City Prosecutor Har-
ry Miller why he isn't prosecuting on
the reports of Hanna which were
handed him more than a week ago.
Aid. Buck, who introduced the first
order, sprang two others. He de-
manded written opinion from the
corporation counsel on his ruling
that restaurants may stay open all
night and asked the status of an
ordinance prohibiting dancing in res
taurants.
Corporation Counsel Ettelson says
the restaurant ruling will probably be
written today. He refused to COM
ment upon the slam at him by the
meeting of the Methodist ministers
who said the ruling was a violation
of the spirit of the law.
