MOBILE ROAD PATROL NOW FORMED, CAL, SACRAMENTQ, Cal, Dec. 2.— The day of speeding across a county e 0 ece s 000000 By GORDON INGMAN The Triangle Building, owned by Gunnar Nelson and John Rust- gard, and built by the Warrack Construction Company of Seattle, is now practically completed. It is| located at the corner of Frontand Franklin Streets, the heart of the business district of our Capital City, occupying a place which certainly meets with the demand of an up- to-date business house. It is with pride and satisfaction that the citizens of Juneau point to this imposing structure, the very beauty of which lies in its dignity and TOROMANGE IN NEW LINE NOW WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.— There is romance in the task of issuing licenses to the thousands of air- plane pilots, mechanics and stu- dents of the country. It might seem a dull routine mat- ter, but it is not, take the word of the girls who issue them in the licensing section of the Department of Commerce. They “feel the heart beats of the game.’ “Handling such a large volume of work, it seems strange that we remember so many of the pilots to whom we send licenses,” the young woman who supervises the work writes for Commerce Bulletin. “Some of the old timers I would recognize in the hereafter, just from handling their papers and photographs so many times. take every opportunity to knock. ‘Ofien we have stayed overtime | to get out a ‘special’ to some chap who wrcte a nice letter saying that | a good job was awniting receipt of | his license. i “It has Leen lots of fun wat.ch-{ ing the ynung boys come in for the Department’s Air| We know those who | @ @ 000000 0 0 0 ethink kindly of us and those who |ished all of the lumber in quick GIRLS THRILL LOCAL FIRMS THANKED Y CONTRACTORS; FINE SERVICE GIVEN HERE B | Much of the success In bringing to a satisfactory close, a building project such as the erection of the Triangle Building, is due to the ex- | cellent service and ability displayed |by Juneau firms having a part in | the work. | The general contractors are de- sirous of having it known gener- |ally, that, without the cooperation |of these firms of Juneau, whose iabmty and service were given a good test, no such creditable con- clusion of operations would have been enjoyed. ? Rice & Ahlers’s Job | The largest of the sub-contracts |t was handled in a most satisfactory |manner by George- B.
