Eckener said he no longer expected to make the flight as neither the Zeppelin Company nor the Arctic Aero Society was able to secure insurance. Capt. Burns said the project was formed on the porch of a tea cottage, the bride and groom both wearing riding habits.

City Float “The most important matter which was pending before the Chamber when this Board assumed office was the matter of providing adequate float space for gas boats. This matter has been before the Chamber for some time. As you all know, the public floats near the Alaska-Juneau rock dump were installed under a contract entered into between the City and the Alas- ka-Juneau Mining Company. The term of this contract expires in when the Coast Guardsmen found him. Last Friday, Downey pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to smuggle liguor and was released on $10,000 bail.
