THE PROPER POLICY.
Tlie Times finds itself in complete harmony with the pol
icy that has been inaugurated by the townsite authorities with
respect to contemplated improvements that may lie made in the
future in Anchorage. This policy, as announced in an author
ized statement by Townsite Manager Watts, is, in short, to
consult and gain the aequiesence of property owners before
inaugurating any extensive improvement plans. This policy
comprehends that the property owners, men who foot the bills
in the end, shall have a say in any proposed improvements that
may be undertaken. Because of its importance to the com
munity, we quote a part of the townsite manager’s statement
as published in yesterday’s issue:
“ Matters of interest to residents, such as contemplated
improvements, the method of levying assessments for different
purposes, and other matters which are of interest to the people
generally, will be advertised before being put into operation.
The advertisement will state that which is contemplated, and
call for written objections, and suggestions or alternatives.”
The Times has not always been in accord with the townsite
authorities. It has been among those who felt that the assess
ments were rather high and that retrenchments could be made,
especially in the matter of maintenance, which comprehends
tixed overhead charges for the upkeep of the town. We have
been assured, however, that in the future, this particular as
sessment will not be as high as that for the period of the town’s
life ending September 1,191 (i. Substantial improvements have
been made in this community. We believe we are within the
facts when we assert that we have more and better sidewalks
than any other Alaska town. In other towns, one property
owner may build a sidewalk in front of his property, his neigh
bor will build none and other owners may string a couple of
boards along. Here, we have a continuous system, as far as
it goes, and it extends almost the entire length of Fourth and
Fifth avenues, with suitable cross-walks connecting. This is
au improvement that materially increases the value of all
property adjacent to the sidewalks. True, the property owners
have to pay, and pay well, for this improvement, but we must
remember that, the men employed in this work are quite well
paid, and that the property owners pay only actual cost in la
bor and material.
Under the new policy, when an improvement is proposed,
property owners have the right to protest or endorse, just as
they wish. And we presume the majority will control in the
matter.'
Since the frank statement of the townsite manager, as
published in yesterday’s Times, there will be a better under
standing as between the property owners and the townsite au
thorities. And this condition is as it should be, because it gives
the people who foot the bills a hearing before any improvement
is undertaken. Hereafter, in effect at least, lot owners will
have the controlling say in mattrs pertaining to the town’s im
provement__
