COUNCIL MEETING FULL OF PEP
The local Town Council meeting
last night was of more than usual
interest to the members of the coun
cil and to a number of citizens who
1 attended.
The lirst matter which attracted
attention was the matter of the ap
pointment of a health officer for the
| coming year.
The White Pass hospital board
! presented the following proposition
I to the council:
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun
cilmen
Gentlemen: I would like to sub
mit the following proposition for
| your consideration:
If you would contribute twenty
five ($25) per month toward the
White Pass Hospital, the hospital In
return would set aside a room for
the city's use for the Indigent charg
es, giving the city the same rate giv
en employees' families, which is
three dollars H$3.00) per day at the
present time, and In addition the
Hospital Association would agree to
have their doctor act as health of
ficer for the town under normal con
ditions.
A hospital is a necessity in a com
munity and should have the support
of all concerned and 1 therefore feel
that the above proposition would be
fair from every standpoint.
Hoping you will see your way
clear to take favorable action iu this
matter, I remain
Yours very truly.
(Signedt V. I. HAHN.
Member Hospital Uoard
After considerable discussion, in
which some heat was manifest. Dr
Thos. Runnalls presented his resig
nation and the proposition as pre
sented In the above letter was ac
cepted by the town :ouncil.
Another matter which was pre
sented In a letter from the Alpine
Club created no little stir and dls
cussion. The proposition was foi
the town council to aid the Alpine
club in the construction of the ap
^roaches to the uew bridge across
the Skagway river at Third avenue
The estimated cost of these ap
proaches was given as about live
hundred dollars, of which the coun
cil was asked to assume one-half
.Several of the citizens present spoke
against the acceptance of the prop
ositlou, or the appropriation of any
mopey by the council for the pro
jeet, two at least going so far as to
say they would procure an injunc
tion should the council propose to
spond town monies on the project
Others, and they seemed to be In
the majority, contended that the
bridge was in the nature of a c.vic
improvement and the council was in
duty bound to aid and assist in any
reasonable way such improvements;
that the Alpine club had shown its
good faith in securing the construc
tion of the bridge, and had already
raised and expended more than
$500 on the bridge and stood ready
to riiise one-half of the balance of
the money necessary to construct
the approaches; that without these
approaches the bridge would stand
as a monument to the lack of Inter
est on the part of Skagway for the
I work which the road commission
| had clone and stood ready to do in
| this vicinity.
When all had been giveu an op
Iportunity to speak on the question
the council Anally took action.
I agreeing to appropriate $250 for
the approaches, provided the Alpine
club saw to it that they were built
This motion carried in the council
I by a vote of five to one.
After the transaction of other
l minor matters the council adjourn
j ed.
| WOMAN'S CL1B ENTERTAINS
The Woman's club of Skagway
gave one of their well attended and
much appreciated open houses last
night in Social Center. Everybody j
who could go was present and all i
report an excellent program and a
most enjoyable time. A full report
of the evening will be given In our
Saturday issue.
