taxes had been much low
er; that she had experienc
ed a raise last year, and
that coming again this year
with another raise, she did
not consider it fair. Her
statement also included the
informal ion that property
adjacent to that section of
Nome had received none of '
the $100,000 improvements
mide by the city of Nome
through the PWA; and also ;
that the upkeep on an old
building was extremely '
high and she considered
the assessment as too high. 1
The council decided to let (
the assessment as raised
last meeting, stand, after a 5
motion to reduce the as- 1
sessment from $5,000 to £
$3,000 had failed for want s
oi sumcieni voies.
Councilman Ed. Seiden- £
verg on behalf of the man- (
agement of the Bon Mar- 1
che Store objected strenu- *
ously to any further raise c
in the assessments on his
building and stock, stating c
that he considered it unfair \
for the council to raise his r
stock assessment from $37- t
000 to $40,000 and his build c
ing from $12,500 to $15,000 t
As a basis for his argu- r
ment he referred to the (
proportionate taxation on (
other new and equally lar- i
buildings put up after
f be fire. In regards to his
stock he stated that he al
lowed the assessment of
537,000 to be listed even
:ho he was considering on
ly $30,000 as a figure to in
:roduce, but that the $40,
100 assessment was too
ligh, and that he did not
dosscss that much stock up
)n which to be taxed in pro
portion to other business
concerns.
Excited comments occur
■ed on the manner of assess
ng proportionally stocks
md buildings in Nome, dur
ng which Mr. Seidenverg
hated that he did not con
lider the recent action of
he council in raising his
issessments, fair or just in
•espect to his proportionate
unount of stocks and real
;state.
During the discussion he
hated he would combat the
aise legally if necessary,
is he did not possess the
tock. He referred to Thor
ilf Lehmann’s Store and
tock and offered to make a
omparison by allowing
he council to inspect his
looks regarding their raise
if his assessments.
City Attorney Sullivan
luestioned Mr. Seidenverg
t'ho admitted to the state
nent that he was not being
axed on a basis of 100 per
ent. Mr. Seidenverg said
hat it was an unequitable
nanner in which the coun
il had raised his taxes,
laiming that he did not
ipssess the amount of stock

that either A. Polet or T.
Lehmann did.
Following a lengthy gen
eral discussion by various
members of the council re
garding the raise of the
Bon Marche assessments,
Mr. Seidenverg stated he
was not being treated fair
ly in comparison with the
other two large merchandis
ing stores in Nome. No
i action to change his assess
ments was taken by the
Board, which adjourned
sine die.
The final assessment roll
including real and personal
property for 1935 was stat
ed by the Clerk as approx
imately $1,139,000. In com
parison, 1934 was $1,054,
000 and 1933 was $967,000
approximately, a raise in
two years of $172,000.

HAVE YOU TRIED
COMAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. II. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
