ana If necessary put the walks in first class condition and assess the property the costs of the repairs.
 Chairman Lund also reported thai First street was badly in need of some gravel but as there was not any good gravel to be had without the expenditure of a good deal of money, he wanted the councils ad- vice. Councilman Dooley stated there were good many loads of ashes and cinders that could be had and which If spread on the streets would make an excellent roadbed as the same were porous and would allow the water to pass through and pro- perly drain thestreets. He offered to pay a mans wages to do the loading of the ashes and cinders now at the rear of the Cordova House. It was decided that the ashes and cinders be hauled and placed on First street as an experiment.
 Speaking on the question of bet ter streets, City Attorney Frank H.. Foster informed the council that as there was plenty of rock in the town, the city should buy a rock crusher and have all the gravel they needed. It was his opinion that rock could be crushed for about fifty cents yard. The street committee was instructed to get in touch with the proper people and ascertain the cost of crusher, the cost of produc- ton, etc.
 Councilman Donohoe stated to the members of the council that some very much needed repairs were ne- cessary in Burkhart alley and now that the circuit court of appeals had affirmed the district courts decision, the alley belonged to the Town of Cordova and something should be done. After discussion the city at. torney was asked for an opinion as to who should make the repairs, the town of Cordova or the adjoining

NeW Telephone Rates Adopted by City Council
 At Tuesdays Meetino

On Tuesday evening the city coun- Gil held lengthy and very interest ing session, at which many import ant matters came up, principal among which was the granting of the Alaska Public Utilities the privi- lege of increasing it's telephone rates $1 per month, starting July 1. A report was also submitted show ing what taxes are due from this company on it's franchise. Improve ments to the streets and the selec- t1on of new cemetery site were also considered.
 The committee appointed to in. vestigate the question whether any taxes were due from the Alaska Pub lie Utilities from the percentage of their gross earnings, submitted a statement showing the gross earn ings of the Alaska Public Utilities from the period from July 1, 1918 to June 30, 1920, this being the period that the Alaska Public Utilities has owned and operated the business under which the franchises were granted for electric lights, telephones and water. The statement showed there was due the town of Cordova $3O.S3 for the year ending June 30, 1919 and $12.50 for the year ending
 June 30, 1920, these amounts being due under the electric light fran chise, the Alaska Public Utilities claiming nothing was due under the telephone and water franchise.
 On motion of Councilman Dono- hoe the statement was laid on the table until the next regular meeting so that the members of the council
 would have an opportunity to care fully examine and consider the state ment before acting on the same. Chairman Lund reported to the 1 council that number of sidewalks
 were in bad shape principally in front of vacant lots, the owners of which were no longer residents of Cordova. The street committee. was instructed to attend to the matter

justice of circumstantial evidence. A
fine young man in an Eastern city
was sent by the firm he had been
employed with for years to the bank
for money for the Saturday pay roll.
Returning to the office he pitched the
canvas bag. fastened with rubber
band, on the counter. The fastener
broke and the money was strewn
around by strong wind coming
through screened windows. Long
search failed to reveal $40 of the
money. The young fellow was ar
rested. charged with larceny, convict
ed and sentenced to from four to
seven years in prison. He protested
hts innocence. but his clean record
availed nothing. Some months ago
the firm decided to put In new Office
furniture. and as the old flat-top desk
of the manager was being taken out
it was turned upside down. The men
loading the wagon discovered $50
and a $40 bill sticking to the dust
