 This cost is figured from the total cost of the entire length of street rebuilt, and each property holder pays in the same propor- ton according to the foot frontage he owns on said street.
 The cost of alley and street crossings are paid entirely out Of the Town Revenue.
 It is hoped that when these streets will have to be renewed that if their construction is then made the same as it is now, that the property holder will have only light assessment, and if possible none.
 The unusual expense during the past several years of first rutting the Power Plant on a break even or paying basis, the building of the new dam, the new road at south end of Town and also the installation of the new power plant unit at Blind Slough has made it necessary to neglect some of the street work but your Council has worked out a plan, whereby with careful handling, the necessary rebuild ing will be done, and the Town will be in excellent shape as to upkeep and financially, and se- cond to none.

PERSISTS

One moving spectacle I shall never forget. It was a roomful Of thin, peaked, half-clad, under |nourished little Indian children lat a compulsory, government
 boarding school-a school which |has recently been severely criti-
 cised for it's atrocious treatment |of the pupils-engaged in a flag drill! I chanced to step in just as they broke into The Star |Spangled Banner, waving their flags as they sang. Such eager warmth in thin little voices! Such a glow on small, pinched faces! I ran from the place. Restrain. Patience. Uncom- |plaining endurance. Meekness.
 If the meek shall inherit the earth" surely the Indian people are laying up a great heritage
 for themselves.
 Here is a picture I would leave with you:
 One blazing hot day last sum- nner, on the New Mexico desert, I
 accompanied a grave young man
 10 the spot where the Govern
 ment had dug an artesian well
 for the tribe. This had been paid for out of a small fund these h.
 dians had just received for lands
 lost to them in the past through gross Government negligence. The water was acutely, desper- stely needed. But so was the expenditure of every dollar of that precious little hoard. These were very poor Indians. When We reached the we'll the
 Indian fell silent. And we stood looking down at large pipe
 with a tiny trickle of water issu- ing from it futilely; a driblet so lsmall and useless as irrigating water for farming region that 1 it amounted to a sardon1c joke.
 I turned to my companion, al-
 most expecting invective. Some
 thing harsh, at least. Had He
 been a white man he would have
 cursed.
 Instead he stood there in quiet despair, his young shoulders
 dropping, his face care lined.
 Much promise. Nothing done" he said huskily.
 Then, as though he feared he might lose his Indian composure,
 Ie turned quickly and led the
 way back.

Petersburg:
 It has been brought to my at- tention that some of the chang cs and regulations made by the Town Council are not under stood by the People at large, and since the Council is working for he People of Petersburg for their best interest always, it is no more than right that the people be informed as to why certain moves are made. There iS no secret about any of the Councils work and any Citizen or Tax Payer is welcome to in Guire at any time what is being done, and the why's and where flores.
 There has been some change jn water rates to take effect the first of the year.
 In the fsrt place the rates as they were previously, were very much out of proportion.
 For instance the plants along he waterfront, which use a ,reat deal more water than the average household, were only paying $500 per month for said water.
 This also held true with meat shops, which use a quantity of water through their compressOrs.
 The same applied to houses using more water than others. and the rates set at this time are more in proportion to the amount of water used, and will also help some towards more re- venue, which same will be need Id badly in the not distant fu- tpre for the installation of a new pipe line from the dam down to Town, and for the re- rewal of many lines in the Town Proper. ! s s4sa
 These repairs will be costly, but they must be made, and there is no way to do it without
 evenue enough to take care Of
 he expense.
 If anyone in the Town feels
 hat he is not using the amount i water that he is being charg-
 d with, he can buy a meter and prove his claim.
 Our estimates of the amount If water used by customers in Petersburg, are based on actual measurements made by mem bers of the Council, and also from compiled statistics which gre taken from thousands of towns and cities all over the U. s. In regard to the building of new streets or the rebuilding of old ones, and you all know that there are several that need re- building, we have adopted the following program which is along the same lines that such work has been done in the past, and which program must be adopted, as there is not near enough re- venue in this Town or any oth- CT in Alaska to build and keep

GREAsED?

A couple of years ago, the Pe- tersburg Packing Company was notified that it would not be per- 1aitted to operate is trap at Cape IanshaW. I That being under the prohibitions relating to navig- able waters, permit to operate would not be issued.
 The company removed the trap.
 Last year the Skinner-E Eddy Company was granted a permit to operate a trap on the same location.
 Certainly a matter of special privilege contrary to the prin- c:ple set forth in the law of 1924
 The question, therefore, is Whose palms were "greased" and low much.

 This favor from the Czar was secured by non-resistance and not demanding fairness and souareness.
 A trap is nothing more than a stationary hook-off, working 24 hours day, seven days in a week in the majority of instanc- es as against the hook-of by the resident seiner whose hook-of is of no effect, under general con- 0jtions, after a half hour.
 Discriminate Against Seines
 A seine MUST be empty Of all salmon by six o'clock regardless If how many or where caught.
 MT. O'Malley in his regulations declares that the trap may con- tain or retain salmon for 36 hours, making possible he il- legal operations of the traps.
 And Alaskans believe that any regulation made governing the fisheries is general!
 Investigate
 There is talk of an investiga- ton of Alaska's fisheries. If it be like other investigations held 1t will mean nothing more than a congressional jaunt at the ex- pense of the public.
 If it be an investigation as is Icing conducted by Senators Wheeler, Walsh, Caraway, and ether so-called wild jackasses" then Alaskans will welcome that investigation and would only wish there were more of them than the tame jackasses which were tanned by sugar lobbyists, oil lobbyists, booze lobbyests, and a lot of other disgusting Hobbies.
