Stanley Mc- Cutcheon, Fred Hanford and Warren Taylor, is a step towards more control of the city governments of Alaska by the Territory and probably another measure which would pay ‘only for the establishment of another large bureau or commission. In the first place, the bill tells city fathers throughout Alaska that they must tax to the limit or else. City councils would have very little choice under this bill, if it becomes law, but to tax to the 20 mill limit. The tax levied upon property within city limits would revert to the city treasuries, it is true. Under the Organic Act, cities may impose prop- erty taxes no heavier than 20 mills, For this reason, the bill in question provides thay the proposed Ter- ritorial tax, plus the city tax, shall not exceed 20 mills, However, the Territory can between what the city now use: Washington Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page Ome) CALIFORNIA Grocery and Meat Marke! 478 — PHONES — 37) High 'Quality Foods a¢ Moderate Prices which has been HARRY RACE .
