 Mayor Barnes left the chair to address the meeting. He outlined the history of the city's indebted ness, and admitted there had been extravaganza ill tue past; but that was all over. Although every dol jar was a hardship now, he did uot think, under tie circumstances; anybody would kick at the extra 1-2 cert, seeing we had a patrol man, fire protection and school at such small cost.
 Much more argument followed, Bayles' motion to make the rate 1-2 being eventually carried by 4 to 2. The final vote stood:
 For-Acheson. Barnes, Bayles, Weir; against--Mutchler, Smith.

 Bayles said it was something new to him that people should conspire not to pay their taxes. Personally he did not want to work a hardship upon anybody, but as for threats he would not consider them for one second. That was a bugaboo. They were living mp 10 the ordi- nance-are are empowered to pro vide revenue for the city.
 Wood explained that he had told Smith candidly that his company would let the taxes go if placed at I I-2 cents, but after that the com mittee had waited upon him and presented their figures. which ap- peared reasonable to him, and he decided to leave the matter entirely with the council; it being under that in the event of II per cent. assessment the old warrants would be taken up.
 III order to get some action, Weir suggested 4 per cent, but his motion was lost. Smith could not see there was any sense in making it I IA; that was no better than I.

Bayles pointed out thst by ac- ceptiug his figures all indebtedness would be cleared of and the city's credit established. Regarding the $500 he had allowed for tue purchase of the ground upon which the city hall stood, he thought that it was a good investment as they were now paying $40 month rent for the same-pretty good interest. By bis figures there would be bal ance of $8I1 to carry over, and he again moved that the rate be fixed at I 1-2 per cent. Acheson sec onded.
 Smith produced figures to sup port his contention for a I per cent. levy. Acheson said he believed per cent. and the federal license moneys would pay the indebted ness, but how were they going to run the city ill the meantime? Their credit was no good. If they could show him how 1t could be done he would be willing 10 agree upon a per cent, but they had produced no argument to prove that 1t could be done-so he favored I-2 per cent.
 Smith said that they would get less money at I I-2 per cent. than they would at per cent. He had seen several of the big taxpayers the N. C., the bank, Crowley &

TAX RATE FIXED AT ll-2 PER CENT

The question of the tax rate to be levied for the purpose of raising revenue to defray the expenses of running the town of Iditarod from April I, 1912, 10 March 3I, 1913, occupied the attention of the coun- cil for several hours on Wednesday evening, and again on Thursday evening, resulting after much heated argument, ill a rate of 1a per cent. being decided upon.
 Under the head of new business Councilman Bayles arose and said he thought the members would like to bear from the chairman of the finance committee CD the subject of the tax rate.
 Councilman Smith, chairman of finance committee, said he had not gone into the question down to dollars and cents, but taking 8 val nation of $500, 1000 he thought a levy of I per cent. would be suffi- cient. Many of the principal tax payers and holders of city warrants were willing to carry the latter over for a while ie the tax levy were small. but he thought it only just and right, ill view of the bad con- ditions of trade to make tke levy as small as possible, and leave the next council to pay off some of the 
 Councilman Achesou said he was in favor of per cent. levy if they could see their way to meet the city's indebtedeess and pay current but it did not seem to him that such was possible.
 Councilman Bayles submitted fig ures to prove that by fixing tue rate at IIa per cent. the council could pay off all of its indebtedness, pay running expenses for the pres ent, and make future warrants worth 100 cents on the dollar. MT. Bayles was insistent upon the fact that it was tue duty of the council men to find means to meet the city's obligations. They had been elected to fill an unexpired term for that purpose, and so far as he was con- cerned he thought they should make every effort to do so. Consider able discussion ensued, in which all of the councilmen joined. Eventu- ally Bayles moved, seconded by that the rate be 1Ia per cent. The voting resulted as fol- lows:
 Ayes-Acheson, Barnes, Bayles, Noes-Smith, Weir.
 The motion was therefore de- clared carried, but on Mutchler stating that he had voted for the motion by mistake, a motion to re- was put and carried.
 The whole matter was gone into again, and several votes taken
