MANAGER MAKES
EXPLANATION OF
TOWNEXPENSES
Regarding the assessment notices
mailed September 2d to all lot pur
chasers, Townsite Manager Carl
Schmidt makes the following state
ment:
In addition to the annual main
tenance assessment, there have been
two new assessments levied for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1919—
Assessment No. 8, for grading Front
street, and Assessment No. 9. for
grading A and MaVket alleys, the
abutting property only being as
sessed for these improvements. As
the amounts of the above assess
ments are small, with the exception
of seven lots, it is deemed advisa
ble that these two assessments be
made in one payment, instead of
spreading over a period of several
years.
Those who received notices car
rying a credit balance should un
derstand that it is impossible to re
fund the overcharge of last year in
cash; the amount will apply against
future assessments.
Every property owner should re
ceive a notice, as a notice has been
mailed for every lot sold in the
townsite that has not been reported
for forfeiture. If you own a lot
and there is no notice for you at
the postoffice, call at the townsite
office and ask for it, as the notice
has probably been sent to a former
owner of the lot. The townsite of
fice will appreciate this method of
help in bringing the record of own
ership to date.
The amounts comprising the main
tenance charge are as follows:
Municipal building ..$ 62.33
Fire hall . 137.15
Flood prevention _ 74.66
Water system . 6.76
Streets . 155.54
Equipment, fire . 551.97

ance . 1,994.45
Sidewalk maintenance . 173.82
General maintenance . 1,249.47
Manager’s expense . 126.80

less the following credits:

FIRED AT YANK
LAREDO, Tex., Sent. 4. — The
local Mexican consul has made pub
lic a report on the shooting affair
which resulted this week in the in
jury of an American aviator, who
was fired upon by Carranza troops.
The consul claims the two Yankee
aviators were on the Mexican side
of the boundary when the shots
were fired, but he does not attempt
to excuse the soldiers responsible
for the shooting. He says the men
will be punished for their unwar
ranted action.
The airplanes in question were on
patrol duty, flying along the boun
dary, when they were fired upon
by Mexican soldiers, one of the
aviators being struck and painfully
injured by a bullet.
The matter was reported imme
diately to the Mexican authorities,
with the above result.

An X-ray picture has been taken
at the Government hospital of the
fracture sustained by Harry Will
iams. but a decision has not yet
been reached as to how the injured
limb will be treated. The accident
occurred about a month ago, but.
owing to the fact that blood poison
ing followed, no attempt was made
at that time or since to set the
broken bones. Williams was brought
to Xenana this week from the Fair
banks hospital.
J. G. K. Toussaint, a member of
the engineering staff at Residency 7,
arrived in town yesterday to receive
treatment at the Government hos
pital for a minor injury. He prob
ably will return to his station to
morrow.
William C. Cornell, who has been
a patient at the Government hos
pital during the past several weeks,
receiving treatment for rheumatism,
is now fully recovered and expects
to join the engineering staff at the
Haslem residency, on the N'enana
Fairbanks line.
