NO COMPLAINTS
AT MEETING TO
FIX ASSESSMENT
But two property holders appeared
at last night’s meeting of the town
council, to register complaints against
the special assessments levied for
building the new sidewalks on Adams
Street and upon Second Avenue. And
when these property owners were
shown by Chairman John Helm that
they were really assessed less than
the costs of the improvement they
withdrew their objections and left the
council chamber apparently satisfied.
It was shown that the eight foot side
walk on Second Avenue cost the
property owners about 80 cents a run
ning foot, 22 feet of lumber being used
including stringers. This lumber cost
the city approximately $33 per M de
livered here from Days’ Harbor, and
the cost of SO cents per foot to the
property owner actually left the city
paying for nails, labor and wastage.
Clerk Hannon’s figures showed the
cost to the city to be $1.17 per lineal
foot.
The lumber used was the best of
hemlock and the stringers were laid
on stones above the ground, making
one of the best strips of sidewalk in
the city outside of the concrete pav
ing. The six foot sidewalk cost one
fourth less than the eight foot side
walk, according to figures. Chairman
Helm stated that in his-opinion a five
foot sidewalk was the best for resi
deneial sections as it would greatly
cheapen the cost of such thorough
fares, but the petitioners had asked
for an eight foot walk and it -was
built. Whereupon the property own
ers present expressed themselves as
satisfed with the assessment of a frac
tion over $23 per lot. and left the
council room in a better frame of
mind.
As but three members were present
last night no quorum existed and an
other meeting will be held tonight to
act on the matter.
Quite a stir in prohibition circles
has been made by the recent report
of the united committee, of a large
group of reform organizations which
says that if present enforcement is
the best the government can do it
“ought to be pitied for its imbecility
and damned for its incapacity.” In
reply Secretary Mellon described the
session as “a meeting of radical re
formers to blow off.”
It may or may not be of interest to
know that Feng, the famous Chris
tian general of China is a teetotaler,
a non-smoker, and a plain dresser,
with a decided liking for ice cream.
Those who buried King Tut were
apparently determined that he should
stay put. His mummy was found to
be firmly glued to the bottom of his
gold coffin with a dried pitch-like
material which defies removal.
King Frost apparently went south
with Santa Claus as Texas today is
covered with a blanket of snow, and
frost destroyed vegetables as far
south as Central Florida. Seward is
basking under summer skies with the
weather so warm the coal dealers
have called in their teams. Within
a few short years the tide of winter
immigration will turn toward Alaska
instead of the south.

Baaroness Katherine Von Chaimb
in whose salon more than one cabinet!
has been formed and overthrown has
come out in favor of short skirts, in
a controversy which is reaching mili
tant proportions in Germany. The
baroness accused recently of petticoat
politics replied that such a charge
was without foundation as she dis
carded petticoats long ago. Now she
sees no reason why women should hide
even unshapely legs in long skirts.
“Yet the lords of creation remem
ber,” the baroness says, “that they
too are by no means all endowed with
comely legs. Yet we women have to I
look at them—or would anybody dare
suggest that men who fall short of
being Adonises should encase their
pedal extremities in long skirts?
These defects in both sexes can be
remedied by massage.
“But even so. Not all women have
beautiful faces, yet one sees them.
Why not wear short skirts which are
more practical than long skirts in an
age of toil, irrespective of how na
ture has patterned the limbs..”
Virtually destitute except for a ra
dio set which she refused to sell,
Frau Augusta Knauss, 80 years old,
committed suicide by inhaling illu
minating gas while listening to the
broadcasting of the opera "Aida.” She
was found dead in a chair before the
receiving set, the ear phones over
her head.
