NATIVES FORM CIVIC LEAGUE
TO GOVERN THEMSELVES.
Under the act as passed hy the
Alaska legislature allowing natives in
their villages to form towTn councils
and promulgate laws for their guid
ance, the natives of Auk village, lo
cated within the corporate limits of
Juneau, have formed a native civic
league, which will take the place of
their council.
The natives and other advisors,
thinking that on account of the Ju
neau city council having jurisdiction
it would not be advisable for them
to form a town council, they have
formed the civic league. The object
of the league is to promote better
sanitation, better living conditions and
better morals among the residents of
the village.
A resolution has been prepared by
the civic league to be presented to
the city council at its meeting, asking
that the council recognize the league
as the governing body in the native
village. The resolution sets forth that
this recognition on the part of the
city council will not take away any
of the rights of the council, but will
give the league authority to work in
conjunction with the city council for
the betterment of the village and the
people living there.

A meeting of the Cordova fire de
partment will be held on Thursday
evening, and a full attendance of the
members is requested.
