TOWNSITE TRUSTEE
Commissioner of General Land Office
Says Valdez People Got Lots
Cheap Enough.
The bureaucratic chief in the Inter
ior department who seems to be
'charged with the oversight of town
sites on the public lands finally got
around to answering the letter oi the
mayor of Valdez asking for a reduc
tion of the allowances of W. H Cra
ry, townsite trustee, for his services
and expenses.
The commissioner of the general
land office seems amazed that any
body should critisize his bureaucrat
ic methods and costs, and says he
thinks Valdez folks got their lots
very cheaply. His letter is very long,
and he encloses a copy of the trus
tee’s account in detail. It will be pub
lished in a few days, when the Pros
pector can find space for it along
with the war news. The letter was
presented to the town coouncil last
night.
The mayor’s letter of protest, writ
ten under instruction of the council,
was dated January 6, 1914. The an
swer is dated July 22, so you see
it only took the bureau a little over
six months to frame up an answer.
A second letter from the mayor ask
ing what had become of the first
one, brought the following explana
tion:
"you are aavisea mat as soon as
stress of business would permit of
the preparation of an itemized state
ment this office replied to your let
ter of January 6, 1914, giving the
facts as shown by the records.”
Of the trustee’s compensation of
$4,270 for 427 days, 57 days were
charged after the sale of unclaimed
lots. The general statement of expen
ditures is as follows:
Paid for land.$ 693.72

Have it ready!
Aren’t you often a little below par late
in the morning or about five in the
afternoon? What you want is a bite of
Peter’s Milk Chocolate. Its appetizing
delicacy of flavor and its satisfying
stimulus to brain and muscle make
Peter’s fill the bill.
Nothing but the best of cocoa beans,
with a little sugar and pure, full milk—
a quality product. The flavor comes
from the blend—the famous Peter
recipe.
