With this in mind there was a committee sent to Ketchikan a fortnight in advance to interview Ihe "Customs and Immigration" department and secure the necessarj requirements for so complying. Upon the request of this coni-miflee these departments were kind enough to furnish a man lo make Ihe trip with the boat. The same was for the sole purpose of eliminating the unavoidable lelay or inspecting passengers after arriving at Ketchikan. This arrangement was very satisfactory, anil when we ar- ived the Captain placed the gang' plank on ine wnari ami asked for an inspection by the immigration officers. Their reply was "All is satisfactory, let your passengers come asuore. We received the most court eous treatment from I lie U. S. of ficials at Ketchikan and from Mr. M. I,.

In bringing up the subject, Aid. Macdonalil explained that plans prepared by Ihe superin- leniieni ami engineer were now ready for submission. The pro Jecl had the unanimous recom metuiation or me utilities com mittee, although no written re porl was euliniitted. As it .was important that Ihe project should be embarked upon with the least possible delay, the superintendent was present to lay all Ihe details before the council. The! present plant was dilapidated and had been condemned and was not giving efficient service. The building now proposed, a lire-proof structure, would do away with insurance and, with its operation, the services ol two men could be dispensed with. Thus $1,000 in wages would be saved in a year. The new plant would lake care of emergencies that might arise and the commftteo was of Ihe opinion that the lime had arrived when it should be in stalled. Superintendent Love staled thai the present buililing was in an unsafe ami dangerous condi tion and had outlived its usefulness. To attempt repairing it "would cost as much us to build Ihe new plant. As matters stood now, the Cow Bay plant was in effective, and everything was be ing nortie ny ine anawaiiaus plant. Asked For Delay. Aid.
