TO VOTE FOR
 MAYOR SINGLY
LAW PASSED AT LAST SESSION MAKES RADICAL MUNI-
 CIPAL CHANGES.

A law passed at the last session of the territorial legislature provides for many changes in municipal elections, according to Senator L. V. Ray who has examined the bill carefully. The bill provides for the seperate election of mayors and other officials. Mir. Ray says:
 Chapter 50 of the Session Laws of Alaska 1915, as enacted by the second legislative body, makes provision for radical changes in the method of election of municipal officials.
 Should the voters ratify the provi- sions made in this new law, such ratification to be had in tie manner prescribed in the act, a mayor will be elected by the direct vote of the in- habitants of the municipalities, and, at the next regular election after the adoption and ratification of the act, a city attorney, city clerk and city treasurer are to be also elected by direct vote.
 "Section 8 of the act provides for the election of "a mayor and common council, consisting of six councilmen' evidently meaning that the mayor is not to consist of six councilmen-the mayor shall hold office for one year while one half of the council are to hold office for one year and one half of the council shall hold office for a term of two years.
 Ut is anticipated that the towns will ratify the provisions of the act and the struggle for all local offices, except that of chief of police and fire marshal will be fought out at the polls rather than in the council chamber.
 "For many years a sentiment has gained strength in the towns of Al aska against the present method of the selection of mayor. Municipal politics will, in the future, be of some interested will, undoubtedly de- velope some strong contests for the various offices"

TO CLEAR NEW
 TOWN STREETS
COMMISSIONER TALLMAN SENDS WORD THAT ANCHORAGE
 STREETS WILL BE IMPROVED

Andrew Christensen who has been appointed superintendent of the sale of the sale of Anchorage townsite lots, has been advised by Commission CT Clay Tallman that the streets of the Anchorage townsite will be clear ed and graded under the direction of the Engineering commission. The regulations governing the sale of the lots which were received here yester- day authorized the secretary of the interior to require street improve ments. According to Mr. Christensen the town will be located on the plateau above Ship creek near its mouth and the clearing will be inexpensive. The townsite is on high level ground where there will be excellent drainage and little or no grading required. The fact that the government intends to clear the streets and to prepare the town for occupancy will greatly aid the people in getting established, says Mir. Christensen.
