4th AVENUE TO BE OILED
In order to cut. down the dust
and to net the streets into bol
ter condition, practically every
merchant and business as far as
the Polaris office from the rail
road crossinn on 4th Avenue do
nated to the oil cause So that the
street may be torn up and the
oil worked in well to stand the
summer's traffic. This surface will
be rolled and kepi in better !
shape throughout the season by
tli is application.
This very seasonable undertak
ing was launched hy the new
mayor and met with hearty re
sponse.
This also should be a very good
thing from a health standpoint,
and from any angle is an excel
lent move.
The sum of $745.00 was raised.

Methods for taxing and collec
tion are also asked so as to in
crease tin' income to the city.
Mayor Lanier brought out that
the city could obtain a great
deal of benefit by using the tax
system set up by the Territory in
the collection of a 1 cent sales
tax for the city's benefit. The
Territorial tax levy ceases on
July 1st and the city would he
in position to continue on with
the collection of this tax within
the corporate limits of the city.
He asks hat mail regarding the
application of sales tax be ad
dressed to him at the city clerk's
office.
In the face of raising the ne
cessary $21,000 in addition to the
regular tax the city council is
ready to consider any ideas which

being considered.
The Safeways Airways, Gentry
Shuster’s company, obtained the
use of the small building for a
year which was given to the city
by Vie Longhead. It is to be re
turned if a short notice is given.
The garbage contract came up
for discussion and will be con
sidered at the next meeting.
The object of this ordinance,
a fact never before made public,
is to eliminate the cost of keep
ing the dump leveled off. Ac
cording to Commissioner Kiel
eheski this leveling and main
tenance costs tin' city in the
no ghborhood of $1200 per year
and this comes out of the gener
al funds There is also a matter
of health to he considered. (The
fire which was rapidly exting
uished Monday was caused by
papers which were piKd by the
wind in the corner of a building
and caught fire through combus
tion or a cigarrelto butt. This is
the reason for garbage disposal
in a city which is no longer a
town.1
I tie ordinance w in nave a ma
jority of the peopl behind it and
will be run as economically as
possible and with as 1 it11*' cost
as possible to the public but it
is hoped tHat a light revenue to
the city may be obtained from
this direction, also.
In the Veteran Housing Pro
ject. Mr. Fails who has been in
charge for the past month was
asked to continue until satisfac
tory changes or arrangements
were made so as to eliminate un
necessary costs to the city and
further discussion will no doubt
be heard at the next council
meeting when plans will be pre
seriied.
The income from this is now
s t at $689.25 per month. A mat
ter of $10,000 was used by the
former council and must be re
placed by July 1st when the fis
•al year of the Government starts
otherwise the city will be called*
' o account.
Kirkpatrick of the American
Kegion presented an argument in
favor of keeping open 'til 4 A.M.

Proposed ideas for universal
