TOURIST CAMP WAS
TOPIC. INTEREST
CITY COUNCIL ELECTS JUD-
SON KNIGHT AS SANITARY
INSPECTOR FOR CITY.

At the meeting of the city council
on Tuesday night the tourist camp
was the main topic of discussion. 1t is
alleged that the travellers have not
been in the habit of leaving the camp
in very pleasing or sanitary condi-
ton, and that several requests had
been made to the authorities to abol-
ish the place. 1t was decided by the
council to elect a sanitary Inspector
for Dawson, not only as regards the
tourist camp but the city as whole.
Mr.. Judson Knight, instructor of the
Dawson band was elected to fill the
position.
Trustees for the public library were
also elected by the councilmen. Mrs.
]. M. Griggs was elected for a period
of one year, Messrs. R. E. Bell and
R. D.. Smith for period of two years
and Mrs. d. c. Pickett and Miss
Louise McNulty for period of three
years.
With the exception of few other
routine matters, such as auditing the
bills against the city and authorizing
payment of same, no other matters OF
interest were discussed.

BEING REMOVED FROM GIN
Mr.. Baldwin Will Improve Property
DESTROYED by Fire on Lee Street

Work of removing the damaged ma

aged by fire several years ago, is
now in progress.
The machinery will be sorted and
all parts worth saving will be sold.
The burned woodwork will also be
torn out and rebuilt with new material.

the building will be used for when
finished, but it will probably be con-
verified into a machine shop or garage.

ago an ordinance was passed prohibit
ing the operation OF a ginnery in the
