A'bill amending the law relating

A'bill amending the law relating to municipal corporations in Alas ka has been favorabIy reported to the House by the committee on Territories and will probably be passed this session. This is a measure that is-of direct interest to Valdez,as-it will make it possible for the town to extend or other wise modify its boundaries. Se'- eral attempts have been made to change the corporate limits of Val deg, but there was no way in which it could be done under the old law
 The bill amends the municipa. code adopted in 1904 by the ad- dition of the following to the end of Section g.:
 Provided, that any town here tofore or'hereafter incorporated in the District of Alaska may extend or otherwise modify its boundaries in the manner hereinafter pro- vided. A petition praying for such extention or modification shall first be presented to the Judge of the Tuited States District Court presiding over the court in the judicial division in which ths town is located, which petition shall be signed by at least sixty qualified voters of said town, and shall specify the existing boundaries, as we'll as the proposed new bound- sries-d such town, the number of inhabitants thereof, and such other fkcts- as-may tend to show good ground for such extention or modi- Hcation of boundaries. The Judge shall thereupon, by an order set a time and place for considering said petition, which time shall not be less than thirty days after the date of such order. A, printed or typewriter copy of said order shall De posted in three of the most pub lie places in said town at least thirty days prior to the time fixed for considering said petition. Al the time and place fixed for con sidering said petition the Judge shall give a reasonable hearing to those who are opposed to the same; and if he is satisfied that 1t is for the best interest and welfare of the people of such town for the Boundaries thereof to be changed. lie shall, by an order, so adjudge. He shall also. by said order, speci- fy the changes. which he deems necessary in the boundaries, and direct that at the time of holding the next annual election in said town, -or sooner if deemed necess- ary, an election be held, by seper ate ballot. as prescribed in the case of an original incorporation, to determine whether the people of such town desire the boundaries thereof changed. A printed or tEpewlittsn copy of said order shall be posted at three of the most public places within town at least thirty days prior to the day of election. Every person qualified as an electorin said town shall be qualified to vote upon the question of the proposed change of bound sries>thereof. Said election shall be held under the charge of the officers of the town appointed for the purpose of holding elections; and all proceedings subsequent to such election, down to the entry of the ovler of the Judge making such change of boundaries, shall be the same,. so fasTas may be, as the pro- oeedings upon the original incor- poration of town"
