PREDICT FINANCIAL LOSS

Believing that the liberal policy OF
annexation proposed by the City Coun-
ell will cause Henrico County serious
loss and injury. representative taxpay-
ers In the section embraced I'm the pro-
posed ordinance met yesterday noon at
Henrico Courthouse and adopted reso-
lutions vigorously protesting against
action along the present lines a com
Inittee was appointed for the purpose
or presenting the resolutions to the
Common Council tomorrow night
The meeting was called by w c.
Saunders chairman OF the Hcnrico
Board of Supervisors, and was largely
attended. Judge I. Ashby Wickham
was made chairman of the meeting, and
Harry C. Beattle, secretary. The as
semblage was apparently of one mind.
and Immediately upon the reading Of
the resolutions passed them by unani-
nous vote.
Many reasons why Richmond should
hesitate In it's present course are given
In the paper. 1t is contended that the
territory which it is proposed TO annex
Is the most valuable In the county, and
that large obligations have been as
suIned on the strength of it's poten-
tlal taxes, and that the burden of the
debts would fall on the balance OF the
county. Real estate spectators. it is
asserted, are responsible for the eX-
tensive scheme of annexation. 1t is
contended that no real advantage will
accrue 10 Richmond by taking in a
large territory. which will add great
burden to the city in the way OF i'm
provements and may prove to be
financial calamity to both the city and
county.

removal.
The resolutions were unanimously

The time is drawing near for the holding of the Grand Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood in Juneau in ac- cordance with the action taken at the Juneau convention of March 12, at which time resolutions were passed declaring the offices of the Grand Camp vacated. At the same time new officers were elected and a Grand Camp convention called to meet in Juneau on July 8. All of the proceedings have been submit ted to the subordinate camps for ratification. It takes a favorable action of two-thirds of the subordi- nate camps to make the action of the March convention valid.

The sub-port of entry that it was authorized to establish at Fairbanks
 this year will not be created for the
 reason that the necessity for it has
 been obviated by the determination of the White Pass to operate Amer ican boats on the lower Yukon. The Alaska and Yukon belonging to that company and built below Dawson, are both American craft. While they were put together at White
 horse, all the machinery and other
 material that went into their con struction came from the United States. It was assembled at White horse and put together there.
 If Canadian boat should make a trip down the Yukon below Eagle it will carry an American customs envoy from the boundary line to it's destination.

Col. Richardson and Lieut.. Ed gerton, of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, were in town for a short time Saturday evening, enroute to Juneau and Skagway to inspect the work be- ing done in Southeastern Alaska.
 The board is besieged with con- munications and petitions, from all parts of the territory, for the con- struction of roads and trails, which. if built, would require approximately $2,000,000. These requests have been found meritorious, but the Con- mission is unable to comply with the requests because of lack of funds.
 Some requests have been made of the Commission that could not be favorably considered for various req sons, among which are that but few people would be benefitted; the amount of work done, in the opinion of the officers, does not justify roads. and in other eases the upkeep would be so expensive as to be al- most prohibitive.
 Lieut.. Edgerton said that with an appropriation of $2,00O,000, cover- ling a period of three years, the Road Commission could build all the roads, trails and bridges now justi- fled by the development work done in the different camps.
 Roads have been asked for from the Arctic ocean to the most south erly part of the territory. AS new camps are being opened up the de- mand and necessity for transporta- tion facilities become imperitive, but the Commission, with it's woefully small appropriation, is able to do but little toward relieving the sit
