DNMMUA Will Get You ‘ If You Don't Watch Outl MAYOR TO HIRE AGENTTOGET JOBS FOR NEEDY {Unemployment Bureau to Be Established at Once in City Hall (Continued from rage One) persons having work to give out and all persons wanting it. Mr. Faulkner's recommendations were supported by his fellow com- mitteemen. Hand Instead of Machine Mr. Scott called attention to the desirability of keeping unemployed work available to as many persons | as possible by making it hand, in- stead of machine, labor and by eliminating the purchase of ma- terials. This proposal was ceived with favor. He suggested | that consideration should be giv- en the idea of hiring unemployed | persons to cut timber for fuel, and | he ventured the opinion that ma Y | ‘xealdcnh of the city would be g“.d |to help the situation by buy! ng | re- |and burning wood for cooking and | | heating purposes. Such a plan may | | be considered by eity authoritios |and the employment agent when }zhe employment bureau gets into i operation. | Mayor to Employ Agent The Council unanimously pas:ed a motion authorizing the mayor to hire an employment agent, leaving to the mayor’'s judgment the matter of the agent's salary. The Council decided to defer consideration of an increase in taxes. Other means of providing funds for the unemployment were suggested by Councilman Wal- lis 8. George. He set forth that the Mayor and the councilmen were agreed that the present policy of paying for cement sidewalks and paved streets from the general fund should be charged to the improvement dis- trict plan whereby most of the cost of such mprovements borne by the benefitted property. The general fund, he explained, could not under the legal tax lim- it of 20 mills, make all the im- provements desired by residents and he stated that property owners in various parts of the city would be willing to form improvement dis- tricts and lay sidewalks and pave streets at their own expense. Work for Unemployed If the district improvement ‘plan were adopted it would result in street work that would take up some of th eunemployment. But before the present policy could be altered, he argued, prop- erty owners who have already been benefittéd by sidewalks and Street improvements and who had "av- vanced a part of the cost With the understanding that it would be refunded to them by the city Daily Cross-word Puzzle river 36, Guido's lowest nots 48.

As it was, the close of the exchange should now assume a share of the original outlay. They can do this by releasing their claims against the city for refunds. These refund claims are neld by property on the paved part of Third Street, on Front Street from Seward Street to Main Street and on Lower Franklin Street from the Alaskan Hotel to the City Dock. Agree to Relinquish Mr. Shattuck and Mr. Connors, who advanced money for street im- provements in front of their prop- erties informed the Council they would relinquish their refund claims. Councilman George was of the opinion that most if not all of the property owners having such claims would relinquish them when it was explained that the general | = fund, which is created by general taxes, would not be made to bear the cost of future cement side- walks and paved streets, but that benefitted property owners would pay for such improvements. He and Mayor Judson will can- vass the situation Monday. $5,000 Is Invested If the city does not have to make these refunds, which total almost $5,000, the treasury will have available that amount im- mediately for unemployment proj- ects. The refund saving, the desired improvement district street work and the prosecution of sewer bet- terments and extensions, for which a special fund is now on hand, might obviate the necessity of an increase in taxes. In summing up the situation, the Mayor assured the Chamber Com- mittee that the city would proceed at once with efforts to solve, with federal and territorial cooperation, the unemployment problem; and that the manner of replenishing the treasury for present outlays would be determined later, i B BRANDT RENEWS OLD ACQUAINTANCES HERE Harry E. Brandt, formerly of Nome and now a member of the crew of the Ranger X paid a brief visit to Juneau yesterday and look- ed up some of his old friends of the Seward Peninsula who are liv- ing here. Mr. Brandt who is known as the Arctic banjoist, is an exceptionally good performer on this instrument. He may later on locate in Juneau. e - More than 2,000 a tes repre- senting 35 nations are .w(pecud to compete in the Olympic g at showed several stocks at new low prices for the year. The repurchase By bears sent some stocks slightly up from their yesterday's low price for the year. The losses were less severe than those of yesterday which brought many stocks down below the June 2 low level. Pressure against sterling exchange and British bonds had an unset- tling effect. Speculators were anx- jous to sell sterling short but were discouraged by leading banks. Domestic affairs falied to account for the large scale of selling of the last two days. New York brokers are inclined to regard much of it due to unreasoning hysteria. FALLING PRICES Many Stocks Reach New| The market showed signs of ral- lying in the first hour. Then sell- ing appeared in large volume. At the closing hour the new high speed tticker could not print the final transactions until 12 minutes after the close. Two million shares were sold in the short session. American Telephone and Tele- graph was again the weak spot today, dropping six points. New York Central, Pennsylvania and Union Pacific were unchanged. New Haven lost three, Southern Pacific was off one and one-fourth. Am-| crican Tobacco (B), Eastman and | Woolworth lost four points each. United States Steel, National Bis-| i cuit, North American Corn, Ameri- can Can and others were off two| points or so. | Sterling cables sank to a new bottom for recent weeks. They| were off one cent to $4.8575. i L R S ———— | TODAY’S STOCK I \ | . .
