The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-12-16

There was a full house last night listening to the famous Board of Equalization serial, and numerous parliamentary and unparliamentary discussions pro and con (long on the con) took place.
 All the peace makers were present including the stenographer and the bull. After the minutes of the pre- ceding meeting had been read and approved, Burgh moved that the Murphy assessment be cut from
 $7,OOO to $5000. All voted yes ex- cept Ross who passed. Rose moved that Seidenvergs assessment be set at S12,O0O and this went the same route as Murphy's slump. Ross re- ported that another statesman and himself visited the Fred Peterson store and after looking around for a little while they were no wiser in regard to the actual amount of stock MT. Peterson had on hand. He thought the Peterson stock taxed rather highly and Peterson would testify under oath that he did not have $19,000 worth of goods pro- vided the other merchants would perform same process of juration. MT. Peterson was not present at this scene, but arrived in a later act, and explained his position so we'll that he had Ais assessment reduced from $19,0OO to $9,00O. Ross as usual passing.
 At this point Attorney O'Neill gave some legal advice to the peace con- ference whereupon Comrade Wesley stated that his colleague Burgh and himself had interviewed Louis Stadie in the Northern, the stock of which had been assessed 1.5O0. but MT. Stadie had no objection that 1t be assessed at $2500 which was un- animously done forthwith. by all members of the board as we'll as by the audience (the reported includ- ed). Burgh then moved that the Kristan assessment be reduced to $6,500. Ross objected and stated that he was informed that MT. Kristan was offered $25,000 for his stock. the day before yesterday. At

this point MT. Kristan rose in haste and very anxiously asked who was the speculative gent made such a proposal as Kristan would be eager and anxious and willing and ready to cinch that deal immediately. Ross preserved the name as an in- violable state secret and thereupon the Burgh motion carried, Ross vot- ing no.
 M'Allister arose and asked in quite a dignified manner that the G. P. Goggin assessment be cut from $45,- 900, to $35,O00. Poteet objected in- sisting that it should be left at the original sum, so Macs motion was put and lost. Al Orland complained that he had been unjustly taxed in personal and real estate. The Mayor appointed a committee to investi- gate and report at next meeting. Sol Lewis said that $S000 was an unjust amount to tax the small stock he was carrying. A commit tee was appointed to investigate. The Mayor called MT. Polet and asked if he was willing to swear that he did not have the amount of
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-12-16

stock he was being assessed for MT. Polet stated that he had nothing to swear to; he just merely complained that an unjust tax was being inn posed upon him. Thereupon it pas sed that Polet's assessment remain at $40,000. Ross brought up the question of the lighterage co.'s coal pile. Considerable discussion fol- lowed after which Ross made mo- ton, to which he could not get se- cond that the coal in the cOmpany's yard be assessed at the rate of $17, instead of SIP per ton. MT. Pol lister enlightened the council and the audience as to some matters per- taining to the company's business. The Board was evidently extremely reluctant to interfere in the matter. Communications were read from the following persons objecting that their taxes were too high. Ernst Bros D. E. Crowley, Darling and Dean and A. Polet. Committees were appointed to investigate, whereupon Burgh slipped the order to retreat until the third episode which takes place tonight at 8 o'clock in the city hall.

 The Utica returns are said to have been mailed and their disappearance is somewhat of mystery. John A. Wilson has been elected Territorial Road Commissioner beyond any doubt, and by lead that can be overcome by no means. ? The Utica vote will not affect his election one way or another.

 Briand asked for further enlarged credits, recounted the victories on the Verdun and Somme fronts and said that now was no time to show any hesitation or delay. He an- nounced further that the govern ment planned a complete suppression of the liquor traffic in the country.

Yesterday the principal topic of conversation was not the war, nor yet the weather, nor even the Wild Goose Heating plant. The matters receiving attention were the assess ments levied by the City Assessor. While here and there denunciation gave emphasis to the policy advocat- ed by the assessor and the city at- torney, much praise was also freely lavished upon these officials. Officials who please everyone usually have hymns sung over them and very nice things are said by the preacher while the audience walks around and looks down at them as they lie flat.
 Point Barrow did not send any returns. The U. s. Commissioner, Richardson, at that point explains that there were only five voters there including the illiterate wife of a trader, and so although they have the honor of having the larg- est voting precinct n the world, they din't want the honor of casting the smallest vote. The voters felt they didn't know thing about the candi- dates so didn't see the necessity for putting the government to the ex- pense of vote being taken. The hope was expressed that sometime when the precinct was more develop ed they might be able to cast vote proportionate to it's size.
