EXTENSION OF CITY DOCK IS
 NOW PLANNED

Considerable important business was transacted at last nights meeting of the city council.
 In the report of Councilman Currier of the street committee he stated to the council that the recent high wind and ice had damaged the float at the City dock, and that he had had the same repaired. He discussed the ne- cessity of building an approach and dock at deep water from the present city dock to accommodate the mos quito fleet. It was his idea, he said, to have survey made, estimate the cost and build out as far as possible this year with whatever money was available, and then extend the ap- proach from year to year until the project was completed. The entire council concurred with MT. Currier in the matter, whereupon Councilman Brock suggested that the mayor in- struct the city attorney to look into the matter of obtaining a public right of way from the end of c avenue to the starting point of the proposed ap- proach to deep water, and report at the next meeting of the council. This instruction was given to the city at- torney by the mayor. 7.
 The mayor at this time again brought to the councils attention the necessity of getting something started in the way of a sewer system. His idea was te make an, outlet on A avenue | to the bay, and after this work was completed, to extened the system each year with what money was available, and then extend the system each year as much as possible until the entire system was completed. After discus sion the city attorney was instructed 1 to take the proper steps to form the city into an assessment district, ac- cording to the act of the territorial legislature of 1919. !:
 A communication from the Alaska Public Utilities regarding the over 1 flow from the auxiliary reservoir was read. This communication was in an

ply the pact OF London Their note
