Lawyers are igreed that, without hav ing been granted specific authority to do so, the city council cannot require more rigid qualifications of an elector than those specified by congress. Un til some duly authorized legislative body shall enact a registration law for Alaska or confer power so to do upon the city council, a registration ordi nance can only make more complicated the election machinery and municipal government more expensive. Nothing ?!se can be accomplished by one.* The prompt measures taken by the city council to protect the city against invasion by contagious diseases will meet with the approval of the people.
