BASKETBALL PLAYERS SHOW
 SPEED IN DOUBLE HEADER

Basketball in all it's strenuous essentials came into its own Thurs day night, at Union hall, when a double-header was staged there for the benefit of the fans. The Mid night Suns and the Northern Lights, girls teams, played a snappy game that aroused lots of enthusiasm, and the Nenana boys five squared off with the team from Co. B., U. s. army; the girls and boys playing alternate perio1s. There was lots of basketball crowded into the time of play and excitement aplerty fur nished the fans.
 For Nenana, the playing of Ward and W-elliver stood out in a marked manner; and Slippern. at center, played good game. Meagher and Taylor were relieved by Hollerbach and Slippern, and for Co. B, Drury relived Miller after one period of play. Individual brilliancy was shown at times, especially by the forwards and, while this was often gratifying to the audience, it was noticeable for it's paralyzing effect on the team work as Q whole. The score was z7 to 21 in favor of Ne mana.
 In the girls game, a marked i'm provement was noticed, both in the team work and individual play. Mrs. Lawrence, for the Midnight Suns, shot five field goals and was ably seconded by Mrs. Hall. For the op- position, Mrs. Schaeffer and Miss Foster, at forward, played a strong game and had at all times the sup port of the entire team.
 Announcement will be made later of the date of the next game to be played.

government railroad enterprise who stand better with the men under them than does FIr. Riggs.
 Should the confirmation be long delayed, it is possible that the ab- sence of directing head to our rail road work will be seriously felt here. The work will go on after fashion, of course, but it would be hardly reasonable to expect the best results under such conditions. The season of railroad activity is rapidly ap- preaching, and it is to be hoped that something will be done, one way or the other, before injury to the rail road enterprise and to the town has resulted.
 If we had our way about it, we would give Superintendent Packer a free hand, with instructions to make the most of the time at his disposal. If that could be done, We believe there would be less reason to worry about delayed confirma- tions at Washington and we feel sure the people of Nenana, who know MT. Packer, would much prefer such an arrangement to the appointment of some stranger to take the place of 1fr. Riggs.

This assessment is considerably higher than the one levied for 1916, due tothe greater activities within the townsite and also to the fact that the 1916 assessments were lev jed against all lots, sold and unsold. This practice of assessing the unsold lots for all purposes has been found to be objectionable, however, and in future unsold lots will be charged with only such items as appear under class ? of the classification given above. Assessments for mainten- ance and operation are levied an nually, notices of same being sent out during the first quarter of each year. F. s. Ryus, Townsite Man ager.

The second assessment for main tenance and operation of Nenana townsite has just been issued. This assessment covers the period March to December 31, 1917. The term Maintenance and Operation" in- cludes all work done and supplies purchased which are benefit to the the town as whole, such as fire equipment, the construction, main tenance and operation of the fire hall and townsite office, and things of that nature which are chargeable to the entire town and not to any particular portion or district. Under the Alaskan Railroad Townsite Reg ulationS, assessments for all purposes must be levied under the following general assessment heads only: Fire Protection, Sanitation, Streets, Side walks, Alleys, and General Main tenance. The total cost of all i'm provements and work done within the townsite, of whatever nature, must be apportioned to these differ ent heads. For the purpose of se- curing an equitable proportion or pro rata of assessment, the town has been divided into six assessment dis tricts and the assessment into two classes. Class l, includes salaries (other than salary of townsite man ager) not charged against construc- tion. purchase of expendable ma terials, etc. Class ?, includes the ex- penditures for all general. construc- tion and permanent equipment, such as construction of the fire hall. pur- chase of fire equipment, etc. Assess ments under class one are charged to sold lots only, as this includes the regular running expenses. which naturally must be borne by the prop erty owners now here. Assessments under class two. being for perman- ent improvements, such as buildings. furniture, fire equipment, etc, it is considered proper to assess the un- sold lots also, this amount to be col lected as the lots are sold. This method will relieve present property owners of some of the burden, and subsequent purchasers of lots will thus be required to bear their pro- rortionate share of this expense. The amount charged against unsold lots under this head will be deducted from the fifty per cent fund derived from the sale of lots. As lots are sold, however, this assessment will be collected and the fifty per cent fund credited with same The amount to be collected by assess ment at this time is as follows:
