B0UGH1 MEETS ISSUE FILf
The following communication was
sent by \\\ W. Boughton. trustee for
the Skagway townsite, to the city
council last night. The letter was
read ami spread upon the minutes of
the meeting. No action was taken
by the council last night, but Mr.
Boughton has put the matter fairly
up to the council and if any com
plaints are to be made they should
he made to that body.?
March 12 1901>
To The Common Council
of The Town of Skagway;
Gentlemen: ?
1 am reliably informed that a few
of our Citizens are considerably ex
ercised over the estimate made by th
Townsite Trustee of the amount of
money needed to pay the expenses
incident to the Townsite Entry, they
< laiming that it is too high and
should be reduced.
I am of the opinion that they
are not actuated so much by a desire
to benefit the lot owners, as they
are to throw discredit upon the trus- '
In this belief I have decided to
place the whole matter with all of
the Information at my command be
fore the Town Council, they being the
only body that should deal with the
questions involved, and whose protest
or recommendations would recieve col
sideration by or have any weight with '
the. Land Department.
Yours is an administrative body
elected by the people of the Town
your actions are a matter of record
and in case of delay growing out of
this issue the responsibility can !><?
placed where it belongs.
I was appointed by the Secretary
of tlie Interior as Trustee for the
Skagway Townsite Dec. 1 7th 1007. I
am under $">,000.00 bonds. My com
pensation was fixed by the Secretary
of the Interior at $10.00 per day to
be paid to me for time actually en
gaged in the performance of my dut
!? - as Trustee. At the present time
I have been in office nearly fifteen
months; during that time 1 have made
a claim for less than throe months
compensation.
As regards the estimate of cost
and how it was arrived at. I submit
the following statement ?

$10,565.00
Increase recommended '?>..? Attor
ney Barnhill 1 .4^4.64
Total $1.. '"00.00
This estimate I made and submit
ted to Mr. Barnhill my attorney, un
er his advice it was increased to $12,
000.
Out of my compensation as -hown
in estimate I shall have to pav for as
sistance as I cannot attend to my oth
e? business during ih<- Mimmor month
and give the time rcquiriil to m>
duties as Trustee.
Both Mr. Barnhill and myself have
given much time and thought to the
estimate. No one can sa> deflnitel;
how long it will take to coinpb't. :1c
work; no one knows how ino : y >:i
tests there may I - nor how f;?*>i thi
applications for d> "ds will come in 1
assure that my part of the work will
be - 'shod vigorously. What has ben
done is a matter of record and ha;
the approval of the department.
I understand that the Land depart
ment disapproves of second a>" ss
ments if they can b<? avoided. Tli i.
influenced us somewhat in makinj
the estimate.
If after giving this matter due con
sideration, you conclude that the in
timate is too liberal. I am willing to
discuss the the question with you ti
the end that it may be somewhat mod
ified rather than see the title* d lavi
I have urged the lot owners to ? ;ill
on me so that they may learn at what
sum their lots are valued at. and s<>
that 1 can give them all the inform
ation I have at my disposal.
Many have done so and of all that
I have talked to not one has yet mad
any serious objection, either to the
valuation or the rate per cent; in
fact some of them said that they had
expected to pay more.
$300.00 is the highest valuation
placed on any lot: and fr<jm that
sum down to $-.1.00 for fractions and
poor lots.
As nearly as I can determine at
this time, the rate will be between
eight and nine per cent.
If there is any money left in my
hands at the termination of my trust,
it will be accounted for as provided
for in the regulations.
I believe that a majority of the lot
owners as well as other residents of
the Town would prefer to have mat
ters of this kind amicably adjusted at
home without the Intervention of out
side agencies.
Ilespectfullv submitted,
W. W. Boughton,
Townsite Trustee.
