he had done with the ball the day
before and how he caught at ends
of everything, but We were too busy
to play. We all looked sheepishly
at each other and then realized our
precious pet had been shamefully
neglected.
Early the next day the children
took Tom to store and bought a
lovely collar with a tiny bell on it.
For a week they gave him cream
or very rich milk to drink, and did
all they could to make up"
My, but Tom was happy, and
purred his gratitude. Every Christ
mas Tom is to have his present,
and never again will we have to
chase the ends of decorations. He
will have his very own little ball,
and will keep it moving, too.
Let us remember our faithful
friends at Christmas, even the

CITY DOCK AND SEWER SYSTEM
 ARE PLANNED

l The city council met in regular ses 1 sion last night and transacted much important business.
 In the matter of right of way for the proposed extension to the~ city dock, the city attorney reported that the townsite trustee had stated his willingness to permit an extension of the dock, provided the right kind of structure was built and the proper provision made for it's maintenance. Councilmen Brock, Lathrop and Me Connell were appointed committed, of which the mayor is ex officio chair man, to look into the cost of piling, capping, decking, etc., to build the proposed dock, with view of ascer- taining what could be done each year in the way of extension and repairs.
 Captain A. E. Lathrop asked per- mission of the council to put in a storage fueI-oil tank having a capacity of hundred barrels, to be placed in the ground under the Water street trestle. The permission was granted the installation to be such as is re- quired. by the board of fire under writers.
 The mayor stated that he had been asked by several persons to bring up in council the question of liability in case of water pipes being frozen at points between the mains and side walks. MT. Mcconnell stated to the council that the Alaska Public Utili- ties took care of the pipes from the mains in the streets to the sidewalk curbs, and it was up to the property owners from that point to their prop erty; that in one or two cases ques- tions of like nature had come up, and that he was always willing to go more than half way with any of the people of Cordova.
 Councilman Mcconnell asked for more time to prepare an ordinance covering the electric wiring situation, which was granted
 An ordinance entitled An ordinance to define and punish certain misde- meanors in the town of Cordova, ter ritory of Alaska" was introduced, read and referred to the judiciary com mittee.

An application from K. G. Robinson for the position of territorial school tax collector for COrdOva for the year 1920 was read, and as this was the only application on file, MT. Robinson was appointed.
 The city engineer was granted fur ther time to prepare the plans, speci- fications and estimates on the pro- posed sewer system.
 Councilman Brock stated that the bids asked for furnishing new fire hose had not yet been presented, but would be in a few days. The matter was left in the hands of the fire committed
 It was called to the attention of the council that several buildings had lot the proper fire escapes, the Masonic hall, Ostrander building and the Haze let building being mentioned. After discussion the matter was referred to the fire committee to take up with the different owners.
 The attention of the council was also ings, contrary to the rulings of the board of fire underwriters, mention being made of the Horseshoe pool hall and the City bakery. The matter was left with the fire chief to look into and have remedied
 Dr. w. H. Chase, health officer, was present. and gave verbal report to the council, stating that during the month of February there had been 65 cases of influenza and three cases of measles. The influenza epidemic was gradually dying down and the situa- tion was we'll in hand; he said he had sent out by wire for serum, which had been furnished the different doctors, and that he himself had made more than two hundred inoculations The health officer also advised the coun- cil to look we'll into the matter before allowing the fish meal plant to be in- stalled, and was informed by the mayor that permission already had been granted to MT. Nelson to estab- fish his fish meal plant upon the as- surance that there would be no ob- noxious odors, and that the health of the people of Cordova would in no way be endangered. MT. Nelson had been informed that otherwise the fish meal plant would have to be removed. The mayor also stated that the ar rangement on the City dock was only temporary affair, and that later the plant would be moved out of the city limits.
 Another matter the health officer brought up was the difficulty he had

had in several instances in having un- sanitary conditions remedied, citing more particularly a case on c street, where some rubbish had been dumped over the bank, and in cases of this kind asked the cooperation of the
 police department. Instructions were given to the police department by the mayor along these lines.
