VOTE TOMORROW
ON ANNEXATION
_
Active Interest Being Taken in the
Question—Annexation Will
Make Big Town.
I
I
Annexation of the Reservation to
the incorporated town of Valdez will '
be voted on tomorrow. Town and
district proposed to be annexed will i
vote separately, according to the stat
ute in such case made and provid
ed, and if the proposal is rejected in
either it loses. Some opposition is ■
manifest on both sides of the line, I
but it is more marked in the Iteser- j
vation, the aversion to taxation be- i
ing the ground.
Opposition in the town to annexa
tion is chiefly based upon the fact i
that the town by heavy taxation for j
years, has accumulated a large amount i
of real and personal property, which '
the Reservation will share in without j
charge to itself. The town hall and I
fire apparatus are the most import- j
ant items of value. It is also urged !
that the present town has most of the |
taxable property, and nearly all the j
business licenses, and that the Res
ervation will contribute less to mu- |
nieipal government than it will draw j
for schools and street improvements, j
Objectors to annexation in the Res- 1
ervatlon urge that their share of the
schools is now paid for by the feder- j
al government and that they are free
of taxation. Supporters of annexa
tion point out that the Reservation
has dilapidated streets and sidewalks
because neither can be improved ex
cept by voluntary subscription, which
has proven uncertain and falls heav
iest on liberal citizens, while tight
wads escape by merely refusing to
pay. Electric street lighting on the
Reservation is paid for by voluntary
subscriptions. And it is pointed out
that the schoolhouse, which is now
required by federal wisdom to be in
the Reservation district, is borrowed
from the city, which may move it
uaca at any nine.
It is argued in answer to the tax
objection that improved streets, side
walks and other improvements will
increase the value of real estate more
in amount than the taxes. Further,
that since the construction of the dike
the city debt is rapidly decreasing
and after the present year the revenue
from licenses will make taxation un
necessary, as the ordinary running ex
penses of the city have always been
less than the amount derived from
licenses. The money raised from tax
es in the town ’has nearly all gone
into the long tight against the glacier
streams.
It is thought that annexation will •
certainly carry in the town, though :
there is some opposition, but the vote
will be close on the Reservation.
