The average farmer does not give

CITY COUNCIL
 ADOPTS RATE
 YEARS TAX

The city council met last night in regular session, Mayor Adams presid- ing.
 A motion was adopted that the tax rate for the year 1920 be seven and one half mills on the general roll and that the special tax of five mills be assessed for sewers as covered by Or dinance No. 70.
 Chairman Currier of the street committee asked for and received more time on the drainage question on First street from the Lathrop building south. He also reported that the overflow on Fourth and c streets could not be remedied until spring, and at the same time called the coun- cil's attention to the glacier which was forming just south of the city limits on Second street.
 The question of certain property owners failing to clean off the snow from the sidewalks in front of their property was discussed at length. A motion prevailed that notice be published in the newspaper. calling the\publics attention to the ordinance covering the question and also stating that if the snow was not cleaned off, the city would have the work done and assess the property.
 The attention of the council was directed to the placing of garbage on the lot at the corner of Water and c. streets by the. parties running the restaurant at the Bills Club. The clerk was instructed to take the mat ter up with MT. Beniteau and instruct him that the practice must be discon- tinued.
 Bills approved by the finance com Ed. Lee. s14.00; Wm. Tiernan. s13.00; Alaska Transfer Co.,. $42.00.
 Regarding the three bills of the Cordova General Hospital laid over from the last meeting of the council, the city attorney advised that the city had no right to pay any indigent ac- count, unless there was an indigent ordinance.
 Councilman Donohoe informed the council that the bills could be paid in part by the territory and by the par ties themselves It was decided to hold the accounts until further mo- tice and see what Dr. Council could collect on them from these other sources.
 The committee on public health and indigents will draw up an ordinance covering indigent cases and present it at the next meeting.
 The budget prepared by the fin ance committee be accepted and filed.
