this paper and also ali the local news published herein
The News would like to know of
those who are opposed to incorpora
tion. who i.- going to pay for street
lighting after Tuesday if it is de
cided not to incorporate. It is hardly
to be expected that the Healy River
Coal Corporation will continue in
definitely to furnish electricity for
that purpose without charge and it
would be unfair to ask public
spirited citizens who are now main
taining the fire department to dig
deeper into their pockets to light
the streets.
Lighted streets are of more im
portance to the people of Ntnana
this winter than at any previous
time since the founding of the
town. Interior Alaska is being in
vaded. slowly but surely, by a new
and undesirable element and the ab
sence of street lights will render
insecure the homes of residents.
It will be hard enough to combat
the influx of this element without
throwing the town in darkness dur
ing the winter month-.
It might also be asked who - go
ing to pay for the water in the fire
mains which gives property owners
protection and enables them to se
cure insurance. No one is paying
for it now. but is it reasonable to
suppose thie favorable condition will
continue forever?. Both water and
lights are of benefit to the entire
town and should be paid for by the
town.
The cost of maintaining the fire
department also should be borne by
the community as a whole, rather
than by a handful of resident-, as
is the case a: present.
Those who are opposing incorpor
ation argue that the businessmen
and larger property owners will be
the big gainers through incorpora
tion but it is not, clear to The
News how that can be for those with
large investment are the one- who
will par the bulk of the taxes The
News represent.' ar. investment of
considerable amount and will be re
quired to pay a substantia! sum an
nually in taxes if the town is in
corporated. The News doe- not need
fire protection more than the little
cabin in a remote part of town be
cause the building is in a safe lo
cality; street lights mean nothin?
to The News because there is lit
tle about the place that would at
tract robbers, and the editor can
carry a lantern as easily as anyone.
Without incorporation. The News
if it chooses, can get off as cheaply
as the man who has no property
whatever but it is doubtful if it
would prove a saving in the long
run. The News would much prefer
!to pay its bit into the town treasury
annually to assist in the building
of a solid community, with increas
ed property values, greater oppor
tunities for business and employment
and more inducement for home
building.
The News believes incorporation
offers N'enana the opportunity to
take a big step forward and at a
cost that will not prove burdensome
to any property owner or other resi
dent of the town. It is worth a trial
at least.
If the voters of Nenana decide
«.>fc Tuesday to incorporate, the coun
cil in due time will establish a fair
valuation upon the business and
residential property in the town
and upon this valuation there will
be levied eventually an assessment
for taxes. Under the law of the ter
ritory a house worth one hundred
dollars cannot be taxed for more
than two dollars. The limit under
the law is twenty mills per dollar
of valuation!
If incorporation carries. The News
wi!l advocate rigid economy in the
matter of city government. The in

j corporation committee estimated the
i probable expense of running the
I town at $12,000; Mr. Miles, by a
mysterious manipulation of figures.
I put the cost at $100,000. And The
I News is of the opinion the cost can
: be kept within the $10,000 mark .
j Returned license money, court reve
! nues, probable income from the sale
i of lots and possible suspension of
, final payments on town property
I should bring the actual cos; down
to a very nominal cost.
) The chief virtue f in corpora:; •'
1 is that it will distribute trv- cost f
city government fairly . mong the
; people without burdening • an;, tic
with more than h;s ju.-t ; report
If incorporation f;.;is. the man
| who contributes nothing to the sup
port of .he town will make just ns
big a roise a.- the other fellow when
, his cabin catches on fire.
There is still time for additional
candidates to enter the race for
councilmanic honors. The seven men
, remaining of those who were nom
inated at the recent public meeting
will welcome the appearance of an
opposition ticket.

Although vigorously opposed at j
Washington during the time he wa
awaiting nomination and confirma
tion. Marshal Bert Stevens will as
• sume his official duties backed by
the good will and support of practi
cally every one in his division. He .
entered the many-sided contest in
experienced in the ways of politics,
unacquainted at Washington and op
posed by the budding Republican
machine and came home with the •
bacon. And Alaskans admire a mar
who tar, win victory under such
1 circumstances They admire him and ,
they are ready to give him loyal
support, confident that he has the
ability to make good as marshal
The News joins the many friends
; of the marshal in wishing him a suc
: cessful administration and will do
i what it can to make his tenure of
! office both pleasant and fruitful of
* good results.
