 AS CITY FOREMAN
tCoutinucl from First Pagc)

John X. Anderson, were found grouped around the meeting table At the quest of the commissioners, who desired to save Sposato tho en- harrass1nont Of grilliug in the presence Of the press. the board was left alone with Sposato. ! The charge made by Einar Fri S5o from him to keep q truck on the job, and the claim hy q newspaper man that Sposato had charged po- litical interference by J. Willie Mills in the operation of the board were both put before the foreman. Spo- sato made denial of both. With ref crenco 10 tho newspaper article he admitted the facts to be correct with the exception of one statement, the accuracy of which he disputed. Sposato was with the board mem bers for 10 minutes after which he was informeI that he would be given an opportunity to resign if he wished to do so. He was handed Il pen and paper and he wrote the following note:
 Board of Public Works,
 City.
 "Gcntlcmen:--
 T hereby tender my resignation to take effect immediately, as fore man of the storeyard.
 "JAMES SpOSATO." Handing the keys to Commission CT Grove, he then left the room.
 Axe sharlcncd For SpOsato Members of the board have con- rtirmed the report that Sposato would have been dropped irrespec- tive of the charges brought before the council committee for the rea- son that his work was generally dn- satisfactory. It was also agreed among tho commissioners that Spo- sato's actions and attitude were re- sponsible in q great measure for the investigation into the department of public works.
 With reference to the Mills truck, it was voted that city truck be used hereafter to do the work formerly done with the car now off the payroll.
 Courtesy shown SpOsato.
 Commissioner Grove had nothing to add to the formal statement is- sued at the office of the board today He explained that the executive ees- sion of the board was arranged out Of courtesy to Sposato and to give him every opportunity to present his side without the dscomfiturc Of talking in the presence of press representatives.
 The acting chairman explained that no one will be appointed to succeed Sposato with the title of "storcyard foreman,' but that one of the city employees will be given the keys and appointed to exercise general supervision. This is being done for the reason that the election is but three weeks away and since the present mayor will not be ;I can didate there is likelihood that the incoming executive may wish to re- organize the department. Such re- organization, it was explained, might work 10 the cn1barra ssment of who- ever is appointed by the present board.

BOB MARTIN WILL DRILL
 GROUND AT EAGLE CREEK

Drilling operations for Ibe purpose of testing out ground on Eagle creek will be carried out this winter by Robert Martin,
 Mr Martin arrived in Nrangell on the Aleatian Monday.

 The property which Mr Martin is going to drill is located but a very short distance from where Bill Grady made his gold discovery in 1924.
 The indications are that Martins Eagle Creek property is very rich, and for this reason a considerable sum will now be spent in drilling in order 10 test out the ground thor uuehly. If the results prove as sat- isfactory as expected arrangements will then be made 10 begin dredging operations at as early a date as pos sible.

ROAD TO MUNICIPAL FLOAT
 BACK OF THE WRANGELL
 HEREINAFTER IS COMPLETED

Atwood Ames has completed his road building contract for the city. Several weeks ago Mr. Ames was gly- en a contract by the Town Council to construct a road 12 feet wide from the terminal of Beyier Avenue to a point on the beach eight feet above tidewater. The length of the new road is approximately 175 feet. The purpose of the Council in letting this contract was to establish road con nection with the municipal float at the back of the Wrangell Break water. MT. Ames says it was a job of ouarrying almost the entire dis tance and that there will never be any trouble due to lack of a solid roadbed.

Patent Received For North
 Addition Wrangell Townsite

J. A. Ramsey, trustee for the Northern Addition to the Wrangell Townsite, has received a patent to the property from the U. s. General Land Office at Washington.
 Shortly after his appointment last year as trustee MT. Ramsey published in the Wrangell Sentinel an official Notice of Intention to Make Proof, naming as witnesses Charles Benja- min, G. E. Diemart, F. A. Cooper, H. D. Kyle.
 As soon as Mir. Ramsey received his patent he forwarded same to Wm. G. Thomas, U. S. Recorder at Wran- gell, with the request that same be recorded.
 A letter has been written to MT. Ramsey inquiring how soon the oc- cupants of property in the North Ad- dition are likely to receive trustee deeds to their holdings.
 Mir. Ramsey holds the position of Inspector for the Alaska Division of the U. S. Land Office, and naturally the demands on his time are very ex- acting. However, it is hoped that the holders of property in the North Addition will not have to wait much longer for trustees deeds.
 For the past several years the town council has done everything in it's power to cooperate in the matter Many letters have been written by the town clerk, and when MT. Ram soy was appointed trustee the coun- cil advanced him $100 to cover nee essary incidental expenses in connec' tion with proving up on property etc. This amount will be returned to the town at the time the trustees deeds are granted.
