A regular meeting of the Common
Council was held last night in the
town hall. Besides the approving of
the bills the council voted to appro
priate $300.00 to help build the road
to Old Town, which is being construct
ed with the $1600.00 appropriated for
that purpose out of the Forest Service
moneys. It is felt that with this ad
ditional $300.00, the road may be com
pleted as far as the Old Town. Many
of the citizens of the Old Town have
expressed a desire to offer their as
sistance to complete the road if the
money available is not sufficient, and
Superintendent Corser has promised
to complete the road to the lake from
where, Bartley Howard, the contrac
tor leaves off.
.An ordinance w-as also passed tax
ing itnerant peddlers and merchants
$50.00 a day for a license to do busi
ness within the corporate limits. The
ordinance enacted is similar in its
provisions to the one formerly in the
ordinance book, but which was void as
an illegal exercise of the city's powers.
The present ordinance is allowable
under an act passed by the last legis
lature, which went into effect July 29,
1915.

792 LOTS SOLO
AT ANCHORAGE
Andrew Christensen, chief of the
field division of the Juneau land office,
was in Cordova on Sunday, on his re
turn home from Anchorage, where he
conducted the government sale of lots
at the new railroad terminal.
Seven hundred and ninety-two lots
were sold for a total of $167,210 of
which one-third was paid in cash.
There remains about 400 unsold lots.
“For the benefit of prospectors and
other (people desiring a temporary
home at Anchorage, who prefer to put
up their own tent or cabin, the rail
road commission has established a free
camping ground,” said Christensen.
“This includes some 300 lots 25 by 50
feet on which anyone is at liberty to
put up a temporary dwelling. There
are probably 150 people in this camp
already.
“The municipality is in charge of
J. A. Moore of the land office, whose
title is that of manager, although he
is in reality the mayor. J. G. Watts
is city engineer and Dr. H. W. Stough
ton is health officer.
“A city dock has been built at the
mouth of Ship Creek, at which launch
es can discharge at high water. The
finest building In the new townstte Is |
the poatofflce.
"Faith In the value of the govern-1
ment railroad as a perniananent aid to
developing the Interior Is shown by
the fact that bidders paid more for lots
of the same class that at the first
sale.”
