The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1912-12-10

Governor Clark has recommended
an increase of 100000 for the terri
torial building to be erected at June
au. The appropriation made two
years ago was for 100000, and at
that time the passage of the home
rule bill nad not been taken into con-
sideration.
The recommendation for the in
crease in the appropriation was made
IN the governors annual report which
he prepared in Seattle, and transmit
ted from there to Washington recent
ly. The fact was made public when
the committee selected by the Com
mercial Club called at the governors
office in reference to the selection of
meeting place for the legislature
this spring.
II have nothing to do with the
matter of providing a meeting place
for the legislature" Governor Clark
told the committee, "but 1 have no
doubt that Congress will pass an APP
preparation bill this winter to pay the
expenses of the legislative session.
The legislative bill passed last sum-
mer provides that Congress shall
make an appropriation to cover the
expenses provided in the bill, and l
presume the matter of the selection
OF meeting place will be con sidered "
1t is probable that the Juneau Com
mercial Club committee will prepare
a petition to congress on the subject,
and remind them that the apprcpria-
ton should cover a sufficient amount

MCCARTHY NOW TOWN
OF BLACKBURN

The town of Blackburn has been
established by the residents of the
settlement heretofore known as Nc
Carthy or Mile 1872. On December 3
last a mass meeting was held, rules
and regulations adopted for govern
ing the community, and a committee
If five appointed as governing body.
A preliminary survey mas submitted,
to be followed shortly by a final sur
vey of the townsite.
An addition to the Blackburn town
site has been staked on the bench
above the railroad. consisting of a
fraction between Barrett's and
Bloomquist's homesteads. 1t ts in
tended for the residential section.
One of the provisions is that one
block shall be set aside for a period
of three years, after which time the
lots are to be given from to women
with one or more children who have
no one to support them.
The special committee has all the
powers of town council to enforce
rules and regulations for the good
of the community relating to lot adj
justments, sanitation, etc. However,
any person feeling himself injured by
any decision made by the committee
can, upon securing the signatures of
a majority of residents to a petition,
stating the purpose of the call, as
semble a mass meeting and put his
greviences to vote. Should he be
upheld by majority, the action null
ifies the ruling of the committee. In
the same manner call can be made
at any time to pass rules and regula-
lions for the special committee to car
ry out.
The town residents purpose to re-
serve to themselves all franchises for
telephones, electric lights and water
works. All moneys for lots must be
accounted for and are to be spent on
town improvements. Streets have
already been laid out and the differ
ences arising over the fact that the
running of street lines cut into pre-
vious lot owners have been adjusted
and several new business buildings
are now in progress.
Every claimant and every property
owner within sixty days after be-
coming the owner of lot must begin
the erection of substantial building
to be used for business purposes in
the portion of the Town of Black
burn indicated Business Section"
In case of his failure so to do his
ground or lot will revert to the Town
site. One block being set aside in a
portion of the townsite to be selected
by the committee for the sole use and
benefit of prospectors and miners and
other campers, the title to invest it
self in the townsite. Inside lots have
been placed at $50 and corner lots at
SIS. Application for business lots
have been placed on file by the fol-
lowing:
Hans Paulsen, Tom Mckinney,
George Rust, Frank Iverson, John
Etemo, G. B. Johnson and Frank
landmark. Otto Strom. Gus Gapon.
Dan Mcdonald, Edward Devlin, A B.
Prick, Teddy Kilford, DR.. Shotock.
Oscar Backman wants a residence lot
and Fagenbeg Bros wish the ground
upon which their present improve
ments stand and a lot on the Jake
for stock watering purposes.

Dissolution Only
Change of Names.

The only change that the dissolution
order brought about was the resigna-
ton of some Of the old directors of
the subsidiaries and the immediate
filling of their places by men chosen
bv Rockefeller and his associates.
Not only has the Standard eyaded
the court ruling as regards dissolution,
but it began evading just as soon as
the Federal action was begun. The
state of Texas began action against the
Security and Corsicana oil Companies,
toperatins in that state. When the
courts finally ordered that the concerns
he dissolved. it was found these COM
panies no longer existed-that almost
immediately upon the filing Of the suit
the name was changed to John G.
SeaIy & Co and later to the Magnolia
Petroleum Company.
Before we have finished examining
witnesses in this case. we intend to
show. through the testimony of wit
nesses and the records OF the different
subsidiary companies. that the dissolu-
ton order was never carried out. With
these facts in our possession, we will
present them to the court and ask, as
the facts warrant. Tor the falling foi

ciates and the appointment of zee

ment of Federal receiver for each Of
the former standard subsidiaries may
follow the disclosures being brought out
in the bearing of the Standard Oil
Waters Pierce suit, now going on be-
tore Commissioner A. L. Jacobs.
This coIrsa of procedure was threat
ened TO-DAY by one of counsel for the
Waters Pierce Company, which is being
sued because it refused to recognize
the election as directors of men whom
il. charges represented the ola Standard
crowd. seeking by this method to re-
gain control OF the company.
1t is astonishing that the govern
ment officials could be so easily taken
in as to believe there ever was such a
thing as a dissolution" said this at
torney. 'Every bit of evidence so far
produced has shown that in every one
of the old subsidiaries of the Standard
Rockefeller and his associates still own
a controlling interest, and that not one
of the subsidiaries has tried in any
way to increase the scope Of its bust
ness. contenting itself with doing bust
ness in the same territory in which it
worked before the dissolution order
came from the supreme court.
