HANDIcAPPING PUBLIC UTILITIns
Petersburg Report.)

Petersburg Report)
 'lf Alaskan community desired
 to establish purchase water works
 or other public utility it would be
 helpless because the organic act pro-
 vides that the Legislature cannot au-
 thorize the creation of public debt of
 any kind" t-(Daily Empre)
 Yes; and where the organic act leaves off the mat ter of public utilities the Alaska Civil Code steps n and puts on the finishing touches
 While the organic act prohibits municipalities from borrowing money with which to provide public ulil ties the Civil Code, through the medium of Q system Of license fees makes impossible in many instances for an individual company corporation to furnish these utilities. For example, the license fee of $500 per annum practically bars private enterprise from fur nshing electric light in other than large towns Alas Na has. and always will have many small communities and camps where the business Go be obtained would justify an enterprise of this character n paying such O tax
 In this list of license fees are other items of equally unjust taxation eecng utilities and industries which are necessary Co the health and the people and Go the development of the Territory
 May be with @ "lull Territorial form of gOvernment' these evils would be remedied-
 But f they are to be adjusted it will have to be done by Legislature with differen, ideas than those possessed by the members of the Legislative ses ons already held in the Territory whose efforts were confined largely to picking out industries upon which more tax might be levied rather than seek relief for those already cvertaxed
 Perhaps session of the Territorial Legislature which would show of disposition to encourage private undertakings limited to resolutions and confidence in Che propositions for "fun Territorial" state government.
