An estimate of the amount of
license money due the city for one
year from the passage <4 the act
giving all of the licenses within
inct>rj>orated towns to the town,
shows that Valdez will receive be
fore March 2, 11*04, about #10,000
of such money. Of thissum,#7000
is derived from saloon licenses,
#500 from hanking establishments,
#500 from mercantile establish
ments, #300 from the electric light
plant, #225 from cigar licenses and
the balance from hotels, restaur
ants, etc. In this amount are in
cluded some licenses that will prob
ably not be renewed, but to offset
this there are new enterprises
starting continually and more will
start when businees livens up this
winter. Of the #10,000, not over
#5,000 will go to the school board,!
and it is not likely that the courtj
will set aside more than #3500 for;
school purposes, which, with the
#1500 now on hand, will allow
#5000 for the school for the remain
der of the year. This leaves #0500;
for the city. In addition to thisj
the real estate and other taxes will
amount to about #2000, making
#8500 available for public use.

The town council arrived at a
wise conclusion when they decided
to remove the fire apparatus from
its present location in Keystone
ave to the center of block 7. This
will place it within easy reach of
the principal business houses, and
in the immediate vieinity ot a
stream that produces a sufficient
supply of water all the year round.
With the apparatus stationed at
the intended point, if a fire occurs
at any house within two blocks of
it in any direction, the hose could
lie run out and the engine net mov
ed. The advantage of this, especi
ally in winter is inestimable. In
the new building it might he well
to put in good solid floors, such as
would sustain horses, in case the
future made them necessary. But
the most important consideration
is to lie able get at the water
supply at any and all seasons of
the year.
Ill another column is published
the ordinance passed last week re
garding the dumping of garbage in
the streets and alleys, and other
nuisances. An attempt will he
made hereafter to keep the town
neat and in a sanitary condition,
and every citizen should do all in
his power to assist in the enforcing
of the ordinance. It is very little
more trouble to dump all refuse in
barrels, and luge it removed at in
tervals; and we will l»e well repaid
for the extra work by the appear
ance of the town, and the immuni
ty it will give us from epidemics.

The fence around the cemetery
which the citizens paid for elect
ing so that the reservation lot loca
tors could get the adjoining prop
erty is a thing of the past. The
posts were stuck in the snow, and
a light strip tucked to the top of the
stakes. When the snow left the
fence fell. The public is waiting to
see if the adjoining projierty own
ers will repair the fence, or if they
will have the nerve to ask for an*
other contribution to fence one
side of their lots. Of course they
will get it!
Between now and the 25th there
will be an auction sale at the Lion
Clothing Store, as everything must
be disposed of without regard to
cost.
