THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1934. ASSESSMENT OF | PROPERTY HERE HAS DECREASED Ballot Change Favored— Stricter Liquor Ordi- nance Proposed According to the report of City Clerk Arthur W. Henning, made at the council meeting last night, the total assessed valuation of Juncau property for this year is $5,350,145 which represents a reduction of $24857 under the total assessed valuation of last year, The total is divided into three classifications, of which the sub- totals are $3,952205 for real prop- erty, $1260,850 for personal prop- erty, and $137,000 for automobiles. The automobile assessment re- presents an increase of $7,065 over last year. Will Change Ballot A motion was made by Council- man Henry Messerschmidt provid- ing for a change in the form of the ballot used in city elections so that the names of all candidates for a particular office would be listed together in alphabetical or- der in a single column instead of in the present three-column form as is the present practice. 1t was decided that several sam- ple ballots of various designs should be introduced at the next meeting of the council and at that time the members will study them for preferences. Most of the coun- cllmen appeared to” favor a form which would list the candidates for an office in one group regard- less of party, with the designation of their party affiliations follow- ing the names. Liquer Question With regard to ue liquor ques- tion, it was stated that so many complaints have been coming in, and that liquor and beer dealers have been so lax, that unless there is an immediate change in the attitude toward the liquor ques- tion on the part of those dealing in that business, a new and more strict ordinance would be drawn up which would include many pro- | visions not in the present one. Councilman Henry Messerschmidt declared that he would personally introduce a more stringent regula- tion at the next meeting, and one which would curtail the privileges of dealers to a considerably great- er extent. Previously he had ex-| pressed himself as being in favor | of considerable freedom in the Jiquor question, and he stated that | |MRS. JENNIE BRUMBERG Opl;;ses Mrs. i.'anger | Thomas H. Moodie (above) newspaper editor of Williston, N | D., democratic nominee for the¢ governorship of North Dakota, wil oppose Mrs. William Langer, repub lican nominee, In the fall élection (Associated Press Photo) out of the abuses which have come to his attention. Water Report A report from the Nelson Water Company was read to the effect that the company had complied with the requirements of the City Council with regard to improve- ments on its service. The application of Milton A, Lagergren for the position of en- zincer on the city's proposed PWA loan projects was read and held over for further consideration, along with that of Frank Metcalf, which was introduced at the last meeting. H. E. Regele reported on progress in radio interference elimination, and it was decided by the coun- cil to purchase a car for Mr. Re- gele, for which he is to pay in small monthly installments. His monthly stipend was increased $5 per month to pay for gasoline and oil used in the operation of the car. > !
