He recently from Ketchikan where he holas 1 similar position and is also City Clerk. “I dor’t think it will be at all difficult to make an assessment of the property in this city clared Mr. Johnson. He said s0 far his contacts with local proper- ty owners had been very pleasant. He has been in touch with vari- ous business men and found a very fine spirit of co-operation. All of them, he said, discussed the assessment work problem frankly and “put their cards on the table.” Their attitude, he sald, made the work easier. He pointed out that the business sec- tion of Juneau is larger than that of Ketchikan and he thought that the value of property in it would not run as high per front foot as< in the latter community. Ketchikan raised annually about $115,000 by direct taxation % compared to slightly less than $80,000 in this city. The Ketchi kan rate is 17 mills as compared to 20 here. Suggests Band Concerts Open air concerts by the City Band were suggested by Mayor Thomas B. Judson as be high- ly desirable during the summer months. And they probably will be given after July 4, according to Frank Garnick, owner of what he humorously termed “the asy- lum for the band.” He told the Chamber that out of the allow ances of $26 each month from the Chamber and the City Treas- ury, the band has paid a local leader and purchased uniforms for al members. These arrived re cently.” The band is purely a lo cal, volunteer organization, it members receiving no pay or fees. " Several of them work in the Al- aska Juneau mine or mill and others elsewhere, making it dif- ficult at times to give concerts. Suggest Light Decorations Special decorative lighting 1or portions of the downtown section for the Fourth of July and the tourist season was suggested by R. L. Bernard. Such a plan is in use at Ketchikan. Strings of colored lights are strung across the main street there and add much to the appearance of the town, he suid. The Fourth of July Committee was asked to see if the scheme could be worked out ‘here. . Prospects are excellent for the establishment of a large marine ways here in the near future, said report from the Local Industries ‘Gommittee.
