JUNEAU MAY GET
 ELECTRIC RAILWAY

The following communication which is seilf-explanatory, was presented to the city council last night in order to get it before the people of Juneau as business proposition:
 q beg to state that it is possible for me to secure enough outside capital to build an electric railway connecting the three bay cities, viz: Juneau, Doug las and Treadwen. However, as l am American born, l regard myself as one of you and wish to do the right thing by one and all of the citizens from the greatest to the least.
 q propose, therefore, that we, the individual citizens of the three bay cities, maintain 51GS of the stock in the electric railway project and if the majority of the citizens of the three above named bay cities see fit to give this essential enterprise cogni2ance, we shall issue stock certificates to the amount of 519S necessary to build the electric railway and secure the re- mainder of 49GS from my financial friends in New York or San Francisco.
 You will all realize that this ar rangement will give the directorate and controlling power of the railway to us, the citizens of the bay cities, aside from the benefit of from six to twenty per cent interest on our money invested If, however, the citizens of the three bay cities do not see fit to establish harmonious intercourse, one with the other, I shal forthwith drop the subject.
 "very truly yours,

City Council CinChes
 AIaska-Juneau Payroll

MT. Hellenthal addressed the coun- cil body on the subject mater of the proposal stating that it was the pur- pose of the company to maintain no stores. boarding houses or such insti- tutions for the convenience of their help unless forced to do so because of conditions that might result over the failure of Juneau to furnish the ne- cessities required to make the men comfortable. The company, Mir. Hel- lenthal stated would employ 2,OOO men who would have to be housed, clothed and fed by the people of Juneau.
 We are willing to pay taxes on our docks, warehouses and such parts that do not contain the costly machinery" said Mr. Hellenthal, but we feel that our offer is fair and just. We are of fering the city better fire protection, free of cost, than that for which the people of Fairbanks pay $500 per month.
 Mir. Hellenthal stated that it was possible for them to so construct the mills as to have them outside the city limits and avoid the taxation but in this event 1t would also become neces, sary to build boarding houses, stores eac., because the distance from town would necessitate such action.
 Ex-Mayor Valentine also addressed the body making strong plea for the city to enter into the contract
 Mayor Bishop also made short ad dress declaring that he was in favor of the City securing this great indus try within the city limits. Many cities would not only have made the proper ty tax free, but would have raised a subsidy to get the institution if il were necessary.

History of the Conference

Referring to the history of the move, ment toward securing uniform laws among the several States of the Union the Alaska Commissioners say:
 The movement looking toward the unfcation of State laws originated with the American Bar Association in the late eighties. Following the sug. gestion made by that body, the Legis- lature of the State of New York in the year 1890 passed an act providing for the appointment of Commissioners for the promotion of uniformity of leg, islation in the United States and making it the duty of these Commis. sioners to examine the subjects of marriage and divorce, insolvency, the form of notarial certificate, and other subjects: to ascertain the best means to effect an assimilation and uniform ity in the laws of States, and, especial. Iy to consider whether it would be wise and practicable for the State of New York to invite the other States of the Union to send representatives to a convention to draft uniform laws to be submitted for the approval and adoption of the several States, and to devise and recommend such other course of action as shall best accom-. plish the purpose of this act
 The American Bar Association, at it's annual meeting in that year. rec. commended the passage, by each State and by the Congress of the United States for the District of Columbia and it's territories, of an act similar to that passed by the State of New York. Other States and Territories followed the lead of New York and where the Legislature failed to act the Governors, in most instances, ap' pointed Commissioners to represent their respective States and Territor. ies at the annual National Conferences

The greatest interest in last nights council meeting centered in the pro- posed contract between the City of Juneau and the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company, presented by John Hellenthal. of the firm of Hellenthal & Heuenthal. attorneys for the company.
 The preamble of the contract sets. forth that the company contemplates erecting within the city limits a large milling plant for the reduction of ores brough from the Silver Bow basin. A description follows showing the fif- teen mill sites on which the great re- duction works are to be located. It is set forth that the company will build a large reservoir on the noun tain side at an elevation sufficient to serve the purpose for fire protection through the establishment of salt water system of mains and also that the fresh water supply of the company will be so arranged that it can be turned into the fire protection sys- tenn It is further set forth that while the company has other property on which it is possible to construct the buildings. that the company prefers building within the city limits.
 The company offers to allow the city to connect up with the fire protection system described and to have free ac- cess to it at all times for the purpose of fire protection in return for an ex, emption from paying city taxes dur, ing the term of the contract which is thirty years.
 The company further states that it will construct no boarding house store or other institution but allow all its help to live in Juneau. The company asks to be exempt only on that portion of the property on which will be constructed the expensive mil buildings and in which the costly ma chinery will be installed.
