Ordinance on Levy and Col lection Introduced.
ALL DETAILS COVERED
Taxation Ordinance Is Wide In Its Scope, Embracing the Entire Scheme and Field Usually Acted Upon by State Legislatures--Co Com mittee Appointed to Act Upon Dog Tags.

The revenue and taxation ordinance was introduced and received two read ings last night at the city council meet ing The ordinance is long and elabor- ate, covering all the details of the levy, and the collection and sale of prop erty for delinquent taxes. It contains twenty pages of closely type written matter. There are seventy>eight sec tions. The ordinance was referred to the ways and means committee and the auditor and clerk, the assessor and the attorney were requested to meet with the committee to consider the details of the ordinance.
 The ordinance is necessarily longer than most tax ordinances as under the municipal incorporation laws for Alas kaail the powers the state constitutions vest in state legislatures are given to the common council. Thus the scheme of taxation and the entire field must be governed by city ordinance:
 The committee on health and police was requested to prepare an ordinance on the question of sanitary regula> tions.
 The city attorney was requested to prepare an ordinance defining the du- ties of the various city officers fixing their bonds and emoluments.
 Several claims or stationery were presented and referred to the Ways and Means committee.
 The con mittee composed of Council man Green and the clerk was given au- thority to examine and decide upon the sufficiency of the tags for dogs pro cured from M J. Heney.for temporary purposes.
