Ezzard Charles A Real Champion
Ezzard Charles is a real cham
pion. He proved that a couple of
weeks ago when he burst the Pat
Valentino bubble in San Francisco.
In a savage bout Charles proved
that he could box when necessary
and he could brawl when the need
ARISES.
In the Valentino fight the champ
showed one attribute he has rare
ly demonstrated in his efficient
boxing career He illustrated color.
He took the fancy of the crowd
a pro- Valentino crowd of fans
who switched as he showed he
had what it takes.
In this bout he cleaned up $47,-
351.02, the second largest purse
in his career. In other words, the
fans will come to see him fight.
His trouble is yet to come, how
ever, because there is nobody for
him to fight.
Of course Lee Savold and Bruce
Woodcock are left, but neither of
those fellows wants Charles until
after they met in London for the
Debated pounds. Who else is
there?
Manager Jake Mintz names such
fellows as Nick Barone Of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. or Dick Wagner of
Portland, Ore. Wagner lost an un-
popular decision to Barone, SO
neither fellow is a prospect.
Others mentions are such as
Joey Maxim and Jimmy Bivins,
but Charles has defeated them
several times.
Louis Clears Up Rumors
The big one that manager Jake
Mintz would like Che probably

is a bout with Joe Louis. But
Louis has spiked all those rumors

about his return to the ring. In |
his words, this is the story:
81 do not plan ever to fight for
the championship again."
Referring to his current exhib- J
ition tour, he commented, "There's
money in it,"
In the meantime up in Boston,
the Joe Louis age controversy has
been solved by a neat statement
by the attorney general. He said
that a man is not over 35 years
old until he reaches his seth birth
day.
Through this ruling, Joe Louis
will be able to engage in his 10
round exhibition there next month.
Just a sideline on the Louis ex-
hibition tour : what would be the
status of the title if an opponent
happened to kayo him? Would
that fellow be the heavyweight
champion? According to some cor
ners, this fellow could claim the
title. What do you think?

being mentioned as a Charles OPP
ponent, against Dale Hall.
Dawson has a very impressive

everytime he mentions title bout.
He seems to lack color. The fans
do not flock to see him, and OPP
pononents do not rush to face him
in the ring. Maybe he can catch
the fans favor that night.
Costner was once Chicago's dar-
ling during the war years. He had
a kayo record a mile long, but he
decided to enter the ring with Ray

the sticks, plus a defeat by Jake
LaMotta and a bit of trouble in

Census To Be As Of April ]. 1850

The 1850 census of Alaska will be taken as of April l, 1850, accord ing to word received this week by the Alaska Development Board from Director J. C. Capt, Bureau of the Census, Department of Con- merce, Washington, D. C. Enumer- ation of certain areas of Alaska will begin at slightly earlier date to aviod delay occasioned by thaw conditions.
 In the past, Alaska's enumera- ton has been made in October of the year preceding that of the na- tional decennial census. The Bu- reau this time will take the Alaska census at the same time the enum- eration occurs nationally. For a time the date of January 1, 1850 was being considered for the Alas ka census but the Bureau finally fixed on the April date after con sidering all the factors involved in getting a complete count.
 Tt is our intention to complete the census of Alaska in as short a period as possible and with the fullest coverage," Director Capt stated. We are certain we shall obtain the complete cooperation of all interested persons in the Territory to achieve this goal"
 A supervisor of the census will be appointed at later date, he advised.
 The Development Board has been conferring with the Bureau on preliminary preparations for the census.
 Last official census figures, from an enumeration made in 1889, list ed Alaska's population at 72,524. Estimates prepared by the Devel- opment Board last October indi- cated Alaska had recorded net gain of 22,351 persons since that time, placing the total population at 94,875.

Collect Taxes By Civil Suit Urges Hutton

City Attorney Carl J. Hutton told the City Council at Monday nights Council meeting that it may collect taxes by civil action Attorney Hutton read two deci- sions by the United States Su- preme Court to back up his state ment.
 The basis of the argument for collection by civil action lies in the decision that taxes are a just debt against the property and therefore may be collected by court action
 It would be possible to hear the cases in the municipal court, Hut ton stated. It would be necessary, however, for the City Council to pass an ordinance to give the city first class magistrates court.
 This first class magistrates court is legal according to territorial law, MT. Hutton says, and the court may hear cases in civil action where the sum involved does not exceed S1O0.OO. Very few of the delinquent tax accounts in Seward amount to more than that sum.
 These court actions would not cost the city anything because the city attorney would receive only his regular pay, and also the ma gistrate. City Clerk Troy Bogard is also the city magistrate.
 Where the delinquent taxes amount to more than $lOO0O other action would be necessary, accord. ing to Attorney Hutton, and i, will always be possible to go through with the usual tax sale procedure.
