A'bill amending the law relating
to municipal corporations in Alas
ka has been favorably reported to
the House by the committee on
Territories ami will probably be
ppssed this session. This is a
measure that is of direct interest to
Valder-'os-it will make it possible
for the town to extend or other
wise modify its boundaries. Se* -
eral attempts have been made to
change the corporate limits of Val
dez, but there was no wav in which
it could be done under the old law
The bill amends the municipa
code adopted in 1904 by the ad
dition of the following to the enii
of Section 2:
“Provided, that any town Here
tofore or'hereafter incorporated in
the District of Alaska may extend
r>r otherwise modify its boundaries
in the manner hereinafter pro
vided. A petition praying for
such extention or modification
shall fi.m be presented to the Judge
of the United States District Court
presiding over the court in the
judicial division in which tho town
is located, whieh petition shall be
signed by at least sixty qualified
voters of said town, and shall
specify the existing boundaries, as
well as the proposed new bound
aries-of such town, the number of
inhabitants thereof, and such othW
rfcctfc- as-may tend to show good
ground for such extention or modi
3cation of boundaries. The Judge
shall thereupon, by an order set a
time and place for considering said
petition, which time shall not be
less-than thirty days after the
date of such order. A printed or
typewritten copy of said order shall
be posted in three of the most pub
lie places in said town at least
thirty days prior to the time fixed
fftr considering said petition. At
the time and place fixed for con
sidering said petition the Judge
shall give a reasonable hearing to
those who are opposed to the same;
and if he is satisfied that it is for
the best interest and wellfare of
the people of such town for the
boundaries thereof to be changed,
h'e shall, by an order, so adjudge.
He shall also, by said order, speci
fy the changes which he deems j
necessary in the boundaries, and
direct that at tile time of bolding
the next'annual election in said j
tbwn, or> sooner, if deemed necess-j
ary, an election be held, bv seper- •
ate ballot,, as prescribed in thei
case of an original incorporation,;
to determine whether the people of;
such town desire the boundaries!
thereof changed. A- printed or j
typewritten copy of said order |
shall be posted at three of the most
public places within town at least
thirty day& prior to the day of
election.- Every person qualified j
as an elector in said town shall be '
qualified to vote upon the question j
of the proposed change of bound-!
aries-thereof. S^aid election shall |
be held under the charge of the I
officers of the town appointed for)
the purpose of holding elections; j
and all proceedings subsequent to I
such election, down to the entry of -
the order of the Judge making such i
change of boundaries, shall be the !
same,-so far as-may be, as the pro-,
oeedings upon the original incor
poration of a town.”
