zebra which she sustained in at
tempting to raise a window at her
home in Smyrna which had become
stuck from paint. She was taken
TO Wilmington where she received
both hospital and private treat

off, it was thought she would build
up her general health and strength
faster if she could go to Rehoboth,
a place she was in the habit of
spending her summers and a resort
she had loved from her childhood.
So in company with her nurse,
Miss Mile Hawkins, they were
occupying the Handy Cottage when
she was stricken. The announce
ment Of her death was a shock to
her relatives and friends. Miss Bell
was the last surviving daughter of
the late William NJ and Emily
(Hoffecker) Bell and was born and
raised in Smyrna Educated in the
Smyrna schools and at the Centen-
ary Collegiate Institute at Hack

Bassett to pay Calvin the sum of S200 for the oil burner referred to. Motion carried and so order ed.
 City Attoney Sullivan present ed each member of the Council and the Mayor with a copy of the rules of the Common Council which he had prepared.
 Councilman O'Connor asked for and was given the floor to dis cuSs the subject of monopoly understood to prevail in Nome in certain lines of business. He quoted from a speech delivered by Mir. O. D. Cochran at a recent meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, wherein MT. Cochran stat ed that coal was selling at Deer ing, Kotzebue and Keewalik for $2350 per ton and at Nome for $3000 per ton. MT. O'Connor stated further that the distance from ship to shore in the north ern ports above mentioned was approximately 16 miles, while at Nome not more than one mile and a safe and convenient river har- bor. He quoted prices charged for Tightening the U. s. mail a couple of years ago when the Lomen Commercial Co. was in competition with Nome Harbor Lighterage Go. as being $12.50 per ton, whereas last year when Lomen's had no competition the charge per ton was S30.00 He severely criticized the Council for not enacting an ordinance idsntical with the Territorial sta tute, Section 24l3. At this point MT. O'Connor produced letters from the office of the Attorney General at Wash. D. C., and also from Attorney General Truitt ot Juneau. All of which he con- tended proved that he was right in the interpretation of Section 24l3 and that the City Attorney was in error. At the request of the Mayor the clerk read all MT. O'Connor's correspondence with the officials above mentioned.
 Relative to Lomen Coml. Co.,, the Mayor advised MT. OConnor that the City had properly noti- fled them last April to comply

 amount of $48, and from same firm under date of Feb. 28 in the amount of $20. Total $68.00.
 Moved by Anderson, seconded by OConnor to pay above bill. Motion carried and so ordered.
 Councilman Polet stated that he would order the driver of the caterpillar at the fire station to drive said equipment over the various streets to level and pack down the recent snow fall.
 Councilman Anderson report ing for the Police Committee, praised Chief Laws for his effic- tent work, using prisoners clear ing the sidewalks,
 Councilman O'Connor, chair man of Health and Relief Com mittee, reported having conferr- ed with officials of the A. R. C. re the cost of removal of garbage from the dump at east end of town, but did not get a definite price on same. The Mayor in structed MT. OConnor to contact all owners of bulldozers and as- certain the cost. per hour for use of same in the removal of said garbage out on to the ice.
 The following persons were nominated and unanimously cleo ted to serve as judges and clerks of the Primary Election to be held April 26, 1888: For Judges John Starr, B. M. Bucklsy and R. C. Mclean, and for Clerks, Mrs Ella B. Chapman and J. J. o. Leary.
 The clerk called the attention of the Council to the bill of Larry Calvin which was postponed, or upon which action was postponed from the last regular meeting. The charge being for the install ation of Ray Diesel oil burner. Cost of same being $200.O0. It was moved by Polet. seconded by

with the provisions of Section 24l3 and that company's reply was, that it did not classify as g rublic service corpo :'i
 A lengthy discussion ensued or this matter, Mir. OConnor quot ing at length from territorial statutes. On being asked for ar opinion City Attorney Sullivan, stated that it was doubtful if the Lomen Com'l Co. could be classi. fled as a public service corpora tion and more than several other corporations and individuals wh oh were dealing with the public and rendering service thereto.
 Mir. Sullivan contended that ar ordinance was not necessary,that he as City Attorney was ready and willing to proceed legally against Lomen Commercial un- der the Territorial Statute refer red to, if the City so authorized him to do so. He did explain however, that proceedings of this nature would be necessarily slow and that the Lomen Com'l Go could ask for, and would be grant ed continuance for various req sons and it might take a couple of years to get a decision.
 Councilman Taggart stated that he agreed with Councilman O. Connor that something should be done in the matter of enforcing Section 2413 Session Law of Al aska. Councilman Polet stated he would want a proper interpreta- tion of a public service corpora ton. What it actually meant & to whom it should apply.
 Councilman Bassett stated that he believed Lomen Com'l Co. is a public service corporation. but that the Council should know definitely what the proper inter pretation of public service means and how wide its scope is.
 City Attorney Sullivan offered a suggestion to the Council, that he would take the matter up with Lomsn Com'l Go. by core spondence if so advised by the Council. Make definite demands upon said corporation and when said corporatin wuld reply the Council could then decide on what action to follow.
 The above suggestion was put as a motion and when put to a vote was lost.
 It was then moved by OCon- nor seconded by Taggart, to draft an ordinance identical with Sec tion 2413 Territorial Statute.
 Mir. Sullivan stated that this motion, if it prevailed, would complicate matters as ordinance was not necessary. The territor- ial act was already in full force and effect. That if the City pro- ceeded to prosecute under city ordinance the case would have to come for trial in the city court. Councilman Taggart reconsider ed his action in seconding above motion and O'Connor withdrew his motion.
 It was then moved by OConnor, seconded by Taggart to draft an ordinance compelling all corpor- ations and individuals rendering public service to report annually to the City Council, complying with Section 24l3 Territorial sta- tute. Councilman Anderson stat ed he was in favor of enforcing all laws but was not clear in this particular matter. Much discus sion was had on this motion. Mir. O'Connor contending that it was the proper way to proceed, while MT. Sullivan claiming it was un-
