Valdez daily prospector., 1915-11-29

In the district court this morning Judge Fred M. Brown handed down his decisions in the Valdez Dock com pany's case as we'll as the appeal cases from the decisions of the board of equalization of the Valdez City council
 The Valdez Dock company's case was an appeal from the city magis- trate's court in which the company was fined $50 for violation of Ordi- nance No. 90. The findings of the court reverses the ruling of the city magistrate and holds that the muni- cipal authorities have no jurisdiction beyond the corporate limits of the city.
 The decision is very lengthy and goes exhaustively into the questions of the right of incorporated cities in Alaska controlling waterfront prop erty and ruled that the ordinance was of no effect as it was not sus- tained by law. Counsel for the de- fense had contended that the muni- cipal authorities had no jurisdiction over the waterfront unless such au- thority had been expressly granted by the territorial legislature or by congress. The decision also disposes of the tax assessments against the

DISTRICT COURT RULES THAT MUNICIPALITY
 HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER WATERFRONT

In the appeal case from the assess ment of personal property, in which Meyer Blum, E. B. Wheat and John Lyons were assessed for shares in the First Bank of Valdez, the appeal was sustained. The Court criticised the assessor for listing these stocks while no great effort had apparently been made to assess other stocks. al- though it was we'll known that other stocks of considerable value had not teen listed.
 The Valdez Bank & Trust com- rany's appeal from the assessment of $25,000 was sustained and the as- sessment reduced to $12,500. The assessor had Jumped the real estate and capital stock of the bank at s25,- 900 but the court ruled that the cap ital stock was worthless as the bank had suspended.
 The case of the First Bank of Val dez vs. Town of Valdez is before the court this afternoon. The plaintiff appeals from the fixtures of the bank being assessed separate from the cap ita1 stock of the bank on the grounds that they are part Of the capital stock and therefore being subjected to double taxation
