VALDEZ DECISION AGAINST CITY
 WAS SWEEPING

VALDEZ, Nov. SO.-.The decision rendered by Judge Fred NJ. Brown yesterday in the dock cases was a sweeping defeat for the attitude of the city council. The court held that town councils in Alaska have no con- trol over private wharves; al- so that the town exceeded It's author ity in assessing taxes against wharf property that lay outside of the cor porate limits; also set aside as dis crimatory assessments against hold CTS of industrial stocks.
 The city council had attempted to compel the private dock at this place to so out of business, by making 1t obligatory upon steamships to stop at the municipal dock. It had also pre- tended to extend the city limits to deep water" and 1t had assessed the

down toward the end of Douglas lsl- and below the Treadwell mines They will work mainly at low tides, though when once started the task will be followed continuously until the men are convinced that there is no hope of locating the bodies of the two men.
 During the past week one crew of men, in the hope of securing the $500 reward offered TOT William Christie, dragged the channel but without any success.
 This will be the second time that drags have been used in local waters to locate persons believed to have been drowned. Several years ago a longshoreman was drowned near the Pacific Coast dock and at that time dragging proved utterly futile. The body was washed up on the tide flats about three months later by severe storm.
 Although the men who are to direct the present search are not at all hope full of finding the bodies of Plunkett and Christie, they are resorting to dragging as @ last means of locating them.
