COUNCIL FIXES X ?
1SX BITE Of
SIX ILLS
I
At the meeting of the city council
last night the tnx levy on tho assess
ment for the year 1914 was fixed at
six mills, on a total valuation of $917,
000, which will yield the city approx
imately $5,500.
The report of the board of equaliza
tion showed little change from the as
sessment as turned In by the city as
sessor. A reduction was mnde on the
property of J. P. Ifnll from $2,350 to
$2,050, and on property of D. M. Lynch
from $1,875 to $1,475. Lots 10 and
27, of block 11, which were assessed
at $350 were exempted by the board
from taxation on the ground that they
were a portion of the block reserved
for tlie federal lmiliding site, lots 28
to 36 in the same block not hnving
been assessed.
It was estimated by the council
• hat the amount derived from the
taxes at the rate of 6 mills would leave
in the traesury about $2,000 at the ex
piration of bteir term next April, ns
tho present state of the city treasury
was such that after the December bills
were paid there would remain on hand H
about $250. x
The property of the town under the
assessment of 1913 was valued at $1.
100,000 and the tax rate ten mills,
i from which the town derived a reven
ue of approximately $11,000, and of
this amount there was remaining in
the treasury at the expirntion of the
term of the last council about $4,000.
Under the tax ordiance the taxes
are due after the fourth Monday in
December and become delinquent af
ter the fourth Monday In February.

CORDOVA PRECINCT
Cordova weather for the past week
or two has been peculiar to say the '
least. All about 11s. even to the ex
treme southern boundaries of the ter
ritory cold is prevalent, with snow |
and freezing weather. In Cordova we
are having rain, and what little snow ^
that had fallen has disappeared. 1
Within three days of Christmas the |
temperature is Indicative of early i
spring rather than of midwinter. Out
the line the same conditions prevail. /
At Chltlna this morning it is snowing J
a little, the fall extending in this direc- 1
tion as far as Miles glacier, with rain
ibis side of that point, while the ther hi
mometer registers 28 to 30 degress g;
above zero in the coldest places. y<
