 The above are only few of the many expressions of delight given by Alaskans at the various towns to the westward on the visit of the new steamer Alaska now making her maiden trip to the north.
 The Alaska arrived in port from the westward at o'clock last night and sailed south shortly after 10 o'clock.
 At all ports visited, the new steam CT was inspected by Nhe residents and only words of praise were spok- en. The hot and cold water in all staterooms, the large number of shower bath or tub bath staterooms and large commodious suites seemed to appeal to the visitors aboard the ship and the observation room, smok ing room, spacious decks and hote dining room brought forth favorable comment from all.
 On the trip to Alaska, which is practically a trial trip, the steamer is behaving beautifully" as Capt Gus Nord says. The Alaska is aver aging 15 knots an hour with only four of the six boilers being fired. The steamer rides easily and smooth ly. there being little vibration and will be almost entirely eliminated when the engines have become in regular running order. Perhaps on the present lay-over at Seattle, new four -bladed ones. will re- place the present three blade wheels and better speed will be made Chief Engineer Oscar Johnson says he will, within a few more trips, have the Alaska's engines turning over for a speed of F knots an hour and pos sibly IS knots.

COUNCIL FIXES
 19 MILLS RATE
 FOR THIS YEAR
Revised Assessment Rolls Are Approved-Budget for
 Year Is Announced.

At a special meeting of the City Council held in Council chambers in the City Hall today, the rate of the current tax levy was fixed at 1g mills. The assessment rolls as modified by the board of equaliza- tion totaled S3545,s 800, approximately $10,000 less than last years lists of taxable property.
 The 1922 tax rate was IS mills, or one mill less than the rate fixed this morning The increase was made necessary, 1t was stated, by Mayor I. Goldstein in order to cover neces- sary expenses of the city connected with the appeal of the electric cur rent rate case, decided in favor Of the city several weeks ago by Judge T. M. Reed and taken to the Appel late Court by the local power com pany. If the upper Court affirms the judgment of the local Court, the amount recovered by local taxpayers on bills for light and power already paid will more than cover the addi- tional mill levy, which only brings to the city total of about $3,500,' said the Mayor.
 Schools Biggest Item
 The l9-mill rate, 1t is estimated. will bring $67370 in revenue to the city. Additional probable receipts will bring the total city revenue for the year to slightly in excess of $7S,- GOO.
 The regular city budget calls for an expenditure of $73,275 without including costs of the light case ap- peal.
 The largest single item of expense in the budget is for schools, for which estimates totaling $30,S40 were approved. This Is slightly above AZ per cent of the total of estimated taxes. Of the total school allowance $18,000 is for maintenance, S1O,000 for retiring outstanding bonds, s2,000 interest on bonds, and $S4O for in- surance.
 The budget. as approved, carries the following amounts:
