 Money On Water Pipe

Ten breaks in water mains, in the month of August, which were re- paired immediately, were reported to the Town Council at it's regular meeting last week by street and water Commissioner c. H. Lloyd. lie stated that it was imperative for the city to secure 200 feet of S-ineh water pipe at once, so that it could be laid on lower Front street be- fore the street fill is made with the dredged material from the small boat harbor, operations of which will be under way soon.
 Lloyd said that second hand pipe could be bought at 60 cents a loot from A. R. Brueger, who secured more from Shakan than he needs It is now on a scow at the head of the bay and is described as being in good condition. It has never been under ground, but was laid on trestles and subjected only to low pressure water flow.
 In view of the fact that new B. inch pipe costs $12O per foot, the council instructed the cler to ar. range for the purchase of the water pipe from Mir. Brueger.

next year.
 For the present year, due to the economy and foresight of former Superintendent Rasmussen and the School Board" stated MT. Kirtland, there is an accumulation of supplies that will carry through to the end of this school term, and unless an emergency should arise, the council this yeRr will not be asked for funds beyond the budget provisions, but he suggested it might be we'll for the council to reserve $500 for the school.
 MT. Kirtland pointed out the need of painting the school building. He called attention to the school zone created by rdinance last year on Reed and Church streets, which, he says is absolutely ignored by many truck and auto drivers, who, by their thoughtless driving during school hours imperil the lives of the chit- dren.
 He requested the council to re- place the school zone signs, which disappeared last year and to thoroughly enforce the ordinance "Otherwise", he aaid, i've are bound to have a tragic death of some child.'
 On behalf of the school board, MT. Kirkland recommended that the 9o'- clock curfew law be enforced. The board also asked restrictions on public dances, so that school chill dren be required to leave the dance hall at midnight and stated that there have been sad cases of school delinquency due to late dance hOars@

 Bond Sureties
 The bond of Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, treasurer of the school board, in the amount of $7OOO, was presented for approval. After lengthy discussion the bond was not accepted, because it was not made out in correct form, L. A. Olsen and W. c. Chisholm. bond sureties, not having signed Tn all places required.
 Makes His Own Bond
 The discussion brought out sey- eral angles on the subject of bonds required for city officials. Because it seems manifestly unjust to ask citizens to incur the risk of beIng surety on a bond for a city official, regardless of how high his repuia- tion for integrity might be, one in advocating that a city buy Ill bonds required of it's officials from a surety company, asked L. B. Chisholm, city clerk and treasurer how the matter of his bond was fixed.
 For several years replied MT the city paid $50 a year on a surety bond for the city treas urer. Then to save this expense, | began making my own bond, which is signed jointly by myself and Mrs He added that with the signature of a wife, the town could not have a better bond for it's of-I ficials, provided, of course, the value of property owned is sufficient. Al surety bond for $7OOO, would cost the town, it was sRid, at least $75.
 The bonding of the school treas lrer, it was pointed out, is required although his only function is to en-. dorse the checks as received from the Territory and deposit same in a bank. His only chance of default. would be to get a stranger to cash

Response by the Wrangell Fire Department to two fire alarms in the month of August was reported to the town council at it's meeting on Thursday night of last week by Fred erick Cunningham, chairman of the Fire Department committee.
 Both fires were out of town. For each alarm the town council makes ut a check to the fire department in the amount of SIS if fire hose is required and $10 if chemicals alone. In any type of fire the city also pays the truck driver five dol lars.
 Fire Protection Costs
 Actual cost of maintenance of the department averages the city about $50 a year for each fire alarm turl- ed in If depreciation and interest on investment were considered the figures as to the cost of the fire department to the taxpayers would be greatly increased.
 The question being raised whether the city had the right to send it's equipment out of town for the bene-. fit of non-taxpayers was discussed to some extent. Those of the coun-. cil who voiced an opinion on the. subject seemed in favor of contln uing the practise, pointing out that people living on the highway trade here and mean a lot to the town. Its no more,' said one councilman ! Ito give fire protection to property out of town, than to give it to houses in town, that we cant get any taxes out of"
 Untaxed Land
 The reference is to the 70 tracts of land inside the incorporated linn it's listed as Indian Possessions onI which no taxes can be collected from the occupants.
 Another council member was con-I fident that it is customary in all other Alaska towns to extend fire protection out of town without charge. On motion the clerk was in- to write to various towns and ascertain how they handle this matter.

 Dredging operations with a crew of 25 men on the company's dipper dredge Everett, started in Dry Pass at Fl Capitan on August goth. It was believed by the contractors that the work would require months, but they did not run into as much rock as had been expected, So that the time is considerably shortened.
 One part is not completed but the channel is dug to minus 6 feet through Fl Oapitan. Boats not draw ing over six feet of water can sC through now at any time, but those with greater draft have to wait only a short while for a tide.
 Approximately 10000 yards will be moved on the second section ot the dredge project, a mile from E Capitan towards Craig A little rock is to be blasted but it is mainly { matter for the dipper dredge. This section has never been much of ar obstacle to boats except as to height of water.
