PLAN TO FILL
PROPERTY ON
WATER FRONT
Chamber Vcled to Ask City
Council TO Make Survey
and Estimates Of Cost.

The Chamber of Commerce at the
MONDAY luncheon today voted to ask
the juneau City Council to employ
engineers to make survey, prepare
plans and estimates Of cost for the
filling in OF the water front property
|City wharf and beyond. The matter
was broached to the Chamber by
John Reck, who said that he had
discussed the matter with P. X.
Bradley of the Alaska Juneau Gold
Mining Company who had said that
the sand and rock for the filling
would not cost anything. that all the
city or property owners would have
to do would be to carry the material
away and provide for its distribution.
The sand could be piped and the
operation would be practically auto
matte.
Mr.. Reck suggested that the cost
|of the work should be assessed
against each piece of property in
proportion to the yardage that it
would require, and declared that he
believed by doing the work all in
|one operation the total cost would
probably not exceed $4,000
President Allen Shattuck Of the
Chamber of Commerce thought if
the survey and plans were worked
out this fall the plan could be ap-
proved and the work undertaken
early next year.
Discuss Proposed Gridiron
The Chamber discussed at length
the proposal to build a gridiron on
which small boats could be repaired
An estimate of 1920 as the cost of
gridiron 100 feet long and "a feet
wide was submitted. President Shat
tuck thought the gridiron ought to
be AZ feet wide so that more than
one boat could occupy II at time
f., M. Basse suggested that the grid
iron ought to be $50 feet long so that
1t might be used by larger boats, and
said that It would be better to have
two gridirons
The Chamber authorized the Presi
dent TO add two members to the
committee which has had the matter
under advisement and that II report
upon a Tan, location and method OF
Financing at the next meeting The
old committee consists of H. J. Tur
ner, H. &. Walmsley and J. A. Davis
