NI'CHRTHY TALKS
McOAKTHY. Sept. 25. There has
been considerable discussion among
our citizens of late as to tlie advisa
bility of incorporation. Under the
laws of Alaska any town having a
population of three hundred inhabi
tants may, b\ following a certain
course of procedure, incorporate as a
municipality. The advantages to be
gained are self government as regards
all local affairs, the power to tax pro
perl- up to two per rent of its value
per annum for school purposes, to pro
yide adequate fire protection, local po
lice protection, and provision for the
guarding of public health. In addition
to the two per cent tax which may
he assessed, all license money derived
from whatever source is turned over
to the cit\ government by the clerk
of the district court The disadvantage
claimed hv some is the liability for
the payment of the tax and the eost of
the city government. Inasmuch as the
license money paid by the town at
the present time amounts to some
thing over $5,non per annum, and thr
amounts contributed by the residents
for various street improvements din
ing the past year amounted to some
thing over $1 5oo. it seems as though
the additional burden would he small
as compared with the benefits derived
This is a matter which should hr
veil though over and discussed, anil

money available for use in this dlvl
