NEW couNCi. TAKES OFFICE

The affairs of the municipality last
 night passed into the hands of the
 Tecently-elected councilmen, who en- ter upon their new duties with the
 full confidence and cooperation of
 the residents of CordOva. The body is composed of representative busi- ness men, and we have every reason to believe that it will give the tax payers an efficient and economical administration.
 To Mayor Hillery and his col leagues, Councilmen Brock. Adams. Mcconnell, Clayson, Sapiro and Ross wOg, the Daily Times extends it's best wishes and desires to assure them of it's hearty support in all matters that are for the welfare of Cordova, Be- ing familiar with the needs of the city and possessing the ability to dis charge the trust imposed in them, the new councilmen will undoubtedly give the same personal attention to the government of the city that has been largely responsible for the success they have achieved in their own line of business. With the annexation of outlying ter eitory to the corporate limits, the rev enues of the city will be materially increased, and we understand the council has in view a number of pup lie improvements that will redound to the credit of Cordova. There is no more prOspertous town in the ter-I TitOry, and it is incumbent upon local legislators to see that the city keeps pace with it's steady and permanent growth, in providing those necessities and conveniences that will make Cor dOva the most desirable home town i'll Alaska.

coRooVA's FINE SHOWING

Cordova was yesterday awarded a Liberty loan honor flag for having reached it's quota of subscriptions, $47,0OO, in the third Liberty loan. It will be 36x54 inches, with a red bor- der around a white field, crossed yer tically with three blue bars. For each community increasing the quota by 100 per cent a blue star is added to the flag, and in order to receive this special mark of patriotic response to the call of the government Cordova must subscribe for $94,0OO worth of bonds. This it will easily do before the end of the week, as the amount has already reached nearly $80,OOO.
 The treasury department has de- cided to give every purchaser of a Liberty bond a poster reproduction of the flag, with space for his name and the right to hang the poster in his window. Is your name on the honor roll?

REMNANTS INDEBTEDNESS

, Germany's total indebtedness is $31,000, 100000, which means that each one of her 68,OO0,O00 inhabitants, men, women and children, will be in debt $45G. Here in America, with a popu- lation of 11O,O0O,O0O, our total indebt- edness is only $6,OOO,OOO,OOO, or a per capita indebtedness of only one-eighth that of the German citizen, a matter of $57 each. We can run our Liberty bond tiotations up to $50,000, 100000 before each one of us owes as much as each German across the Rhine.
 In other words, we can run this war at our present rate of eXpendi- tures for eight years before we are as bad off as the Germans are today. Don't be frightened at the money we are spending. We are not breaking ourselves. We are spending very lit tie of our national wealth. Buy bonds If this war lasts for eight years Ger. many will be so badly broke" it can never be put together again.

EXTENSION OE TOWN $ BOUNDS
 IS AUTHORIZED

Announcement was made by Com missioner Edward F. Medley at the council meeting last night that he | had just received a wire stating that Judge Brown had signed the order authorizing the town of Cordova to | hold a special election to decide whether or not it wished to take in, as part of the town, that territory north of the municipality which em- braces the Pioneer and Carlisle can Teries and the docks. The order also authorizes an election to be held in that district, to ascertain whether or territory included within the corpor- ate limits
 By the annexation Of this territory the town of COrdOva will obtain the benefit of all the wharfage taxes paid the federal government, as we'll as all license taxes imposed on the Canner- ies. The annual amount of these is not known definitely, but it is esti- mated by several, in a position toI know, that the revenues from these sources will amount to approximately $30,000 per year.
 On every ton of freight passing over the dock in either direction a tax of 10 cents is imposed. The license tax in the salmon cannery amounts to 4 cents per case, and the output at the Carlisle plant will be from 100000 to 150,O00 cases. Whether or not the clam cannery will be required to pay the same tax remains to be deter mined, as the matter is to be put up to the district court for decision 1 within the next few months. If the clam cannery is required to pay the license tax, it will mean an increase i of several thousand dollars also.
 Election Called
 After the matter was presented to the council an ordinance was intro duced calling for a special election to be held on May 21 within the cor porate limits of the town and within he bounds of the territory suggested for annexation.
 The judges and clerks of election chosen for the election in town are:
 Judges-George Mosser, Fred Rayer and Roy E. Hegg.
 Clerks-George Kennedy and H. l. : Lewis.
 The judges and clerk of election
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-16

chosen to act in the unincornorated district are:
 Judges-John Gillis and A E. Black.
 Clerk-Miss Emma Sheppard
 A canvass of the unincornorated district has been made, and if has been found that the companies af- fected and other residents favor the plan of making the territory part of the town, so that there is no doubt as to the outcome of the special election.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-16

There has been a general shaking up among the federal officials at Me Carthy, and as a result a new com missioner and new deputy marshal have been appointed for that place.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-16

It is now safe to assert that no other town in Alaska, population con sidered, will make a better showing than Cordova in the purchase of third Liberty loan bonds.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-16

An investment in Liberty bonds will show the man in the trenches that he is not forgotten, and will hearten him to strive for an earlier victory.
