PROPOSAL FOR CITY PARK 1S MADE 10 C.0. G Around Basin Pond Sug- | MAYOR- gested to Local Chamber | Development of a City Park ‘n the Basin around the skating pond was suggested to the Cham ber of Commerce today and re ferred to the Civic Improvement Committee for investigation as to | its practicability and cost. The proposal grew out of a request from the Womens' Club asking for an allotment of money for| trail improvement leading around the pond. 1t is the intention of the Club, | the Chamber was informed, to| spend some of its own funds im- proving the pond, removing logs i and stumps and making it more suitable for swimming. It was; estimated that §50 would cover the cost of trail construction. Railroad Plans Book The Northern Pacific Railway | is preparing to publish a large book dealing with Alaska, its in- dustries and scenery, according | to a letter received from A. D. Smith, General Traffic Manager, by the Chamber, He said it was desired to use some of the pic- tures of Juneau which appeared in the Chamber's latest book and asked if the Chamber could fur-| nish about 15 views. The Chamber's attention was called to the February convention! of the Western Division of the Chahmber of Commerce of the United States to be held in Hono- | lulu in February and asked to be represented there.

Not Knocking Juneau “Anytime we have anything un- favorable to say concerning Ju- nean or its climate, we will say it in Juneau and not somewhere else,” declared Captain R. C. Weightman, commander of the Unalga, and Lieut. L. W. Perkins, his executive officer. The offi- cers referred directly to an Aar- ticle appearing recently in a Se-| attle newspaper in which it was said in effect that the Unalg ahad come to Seattle to dry out after several months continuous rain here. Captain Weightman said he had given no such interview. “We spend all too little time in Ju- neau,” he added. He pointed out that in the past eight months the cutter had been here just one month, spending most of the re-| mainder of the time in western Alaska waters. While th evessel was in Seattle, he said, a telegram was received by the Divisional Commander wanting to know why it was there and, he added, he was wondering why himself.

It has been received with considerable favor and it is pos- gible that it will be staged next Spring. Navy Men Guests George Nergard and R. T Wright, radio experts of the U. 8. Navy Department, were guests of the Chamber today. They have Just completed a trip of inspection ' and repairs to stations as far west as the Pribilof Islands. They are enroute to Sitka to make some repairs to the Navy radio station, communication be- ing cut off there owing to break- dowas. Although he expressed regrot that the Navy station here had been turned over to the Army Sig- nal Corps, Mr. Wright sald it had been better for the community that the transfer was made. The Navy, he pointed cut, followed a poli of regarding its com- munications service as a naval’ service while the Army undertok | to develop its radlo service into, & profit making commercial busi- mess.
