WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS

Water and sewer mains have been
 laid in the business district and will
 use early in May. The cost of the probably be connected up for public i combined systems will be about $10O per 25-foot lot which, in four annual instalments, will be about S25 per year.
 Owing to the townsite being under
 the management of the Alaskan En-
 gineering Commission we have been able to save on material purchased
 through the Commission and on the
 reduced freight rates to the extent of several thousand dollars. Also the townsite has had the use of the
 money. expended for improvements free from interest charges, which has
 saved the townspeople at least $2,0OO additional.
 The townsite management does not
 contemplate further extensive i'm
 provements at Nenana. The para
 mount object of the Alaskan Engin-
 eering Commission is the building of
 railroads, and jurisdiction is main
 tained over the townsites merely as a factor of safetly during the con- struction period. It therefore fol-
 lows that only such municipal im- provements as are immediately nee essary will be undertaken. for it is not the policy, of the Commission to arbitrarily rule over the destinies of towns along the line of the railroad, but rather to exercise only such supervision as is necessary for the purpose of fire protection. and sani tation until the railroad is completed, at which time the townsites will be turned over to the people, who may then administer them as regular in corporated municipalities. Consider ing that enana has been-in existence only twenty months, it will compare favorably with other Alaskan town in the quantity and quality of its public improvements, and also. in the cost of the work. It is generally conceded that a we'll laid out town with modern improvements is much
The Nenana daily news., 1918-04-25

more attractive, both to residents and
 to newcomers, than a town less for
 tunate Property values, too, are
 higher and subject to much less fluc-
 tuation and the whole municipal structure rests upon more solid and enduring foundation when the town is administered with view of making it wholesome and at tractive place in which to live. The policy of the Land & Industrial De- partment i sto develop these new towns along the most modern and approved lines and to work in hearty cooperation with the townspeople. The townsite management will at all times welcome suggestions from property owners on matters concern ing the improvement or welfare of the town, and the people generally should feel free to bring to the townsite office any suggestions, criticisms or complaints affecting their interests or welfare or the we'll fare of the town; for it is only in this way that ideas may be exchanged and closer cooperation brought about between the property owners and the townsite management. The records at the townsite office are open. to the public at all times and information concerning any part or branch of the townsite work will al-' ways be cheerfully and willingly fur nished.

TREASURY REDUCES SHIP
 INSURANCE

It is evidence of the strongest kind of the effectiveness of the American navy that Secretary Me Adoo is again able to reduce the war-risk insurance rates.
 The present reduction on hulls and cargoes through the war zone is from per cent to 3 per cent; the reduction on the officers, must CTS, and crews of merchant vessels through the war zone is from 50 cents to 25 cents per hundred dol lars of pay roll. Both reductions took effect March IS, 1918.
 The first reduction of insurance rates by the War Risk Insurance Bureau was made last October, when the rate on cargoes was reduced from and one-half per cent to 5 per cent. The second reduction was on November 23, and was from , per cent to per cent.
 One of the. most valuable uses of the Liberty Loan is to render pos sible this war-risk insurance on the cargoes and men on our merchant ships voyaging through the war zone. Under the protection of tins insurance hundreds of millions of dollars of American commerce has been enabled to seek and reach the foreign markets.
 The reduction in the insurance rate, the rates steadily decreasing as American preparedness increases, speaks in most convincing tones of American efficiency. There is not inconsiderable number of we'll informed men and they are not all Americans by any means, swho be-; lieve that the American gunners have not quite their equal in the navies of the world.

THIS IS LABOR'S WAR

This is labor's war. No element of the people of this country, or ot other countries, would suffer more than the workers from German victory-a German peace.
 What the Germans mean by 8 'strong peace," German peace,' was recently expressed by Gen. Won Liebert, leading Prussian con. servative.
 'For us there is but one principle to be followed, and we recognize no other. We hold that might is right, We must know neither sentiment, nor compassion. We must have Bel gium and the north of France. France must be made to pay until she is bled white. We must have T strong peace."
 MT. Gompers spoke we'll for Amer ican labor when he said: "The republic of the United States is not perfect; it has the imperfec- tions of the human-but it is the best country on the face f the earth, and those who do not love it enough to work for it, to fight for it, to die for it, are not worthy of the privilege of living in it.
 q say to the kaiser, say to the Germans, in the name of the Ameri- can labor movement: You can't talk peace with American workers; :; you. can't talk peace with us; you can't talk to us at all now. We are fighting now. Either you smash your kaiser autocracy or we will smash it for you" .' -
 The workingmen of America have a tremendous. interest 9to serve, a vital cause to defend, work. of
  surpassing importance to accomplish. What is vital, to them !. is vital to America and to the world. That they see their duty and the great mass of them gre performing. it with unimpeachable loyalty is a cause for congratulation to the nation and to the world.
