It will steadily grow less as concrete re- places wooden sidewalks. “In the past six years, most of Front Street has been paved. A new City dock and warehouse have been constructed. Floats have been rebuilt and enlarged, and the ap- preachs strengthened. “Tile vers have old, unsanitary wooden bLox and 00ls - eliminated. In this im- provement we services 26 houses in various parts of the city that had from one to five cesspools in their vards, some of them open with children sailing. toy boats in them. {There is today no place in the city except the Seafter tract that can- not have immediate connection to an uptodate tile sewer. Front Street Project “One of the biggest provement projects ever carried out by the City transformed Front Street from the Alaskan Hotel to the City Dock from a plank struc- ture over tidelands to a rock-filled, paved thoroughfare, and from the City Dock to the Alaska Juneau it was rock-filled and gravel sur- faced. It formerly cost $3,000 per year to maintain that street alone. Today the cost is ligible. Before. the permanent street was laid, con- crete sewers were installed. The cost of this project was $40,- 000. It was inaugurated at the in- stigation of 1local business men, owners of property abutting the street. On May 14, 1929, a Commit- tee, composed of I. Goldstein, C. Goldstein, J. J. Connors, Robert. Simpson and G. H. Walmsley, ap- peared before the City Council and offered for the property owners to advance the City Government the necessary funds to defray costs of |this work, to be refunded in annual payments. Their offer was accepted and the work was done. All pay- ments on this indebtedness were completed during the year just ex- piring. Much Rock-Filling Done “In addition to filling Front | treet with rock, the city has filled the street between the California Grocery and George Bros., leading to the Pacific Coast Coal Com- pany’s dock; the alleyway between Thomas Hardware Compa: and the Gastineau Grocery to t ame dock (which cut insurance 50 per cent on adjacent buildings); the lower end of Seward Street between Juneau Young Hardware Company and the New York Exchange; the foot of Main Street; and the bet- ter part of Ninth Street. “The total yardage in these jobs ’would il one<half of Willoughby Avenue. I see mo reason why the street itself cannot be filled in the same mammer during the next five years by the same methods we have used, doing a portion of it each year, Kept Up Fire Department “We have doubled the ency of the mechanical equipment of the |Fire Department, buying a and modern truck at a $7,200. which is complet for. We have increased the of serviceable hose to 4,000 There has also been t many new hydrants, mostly in the Casey-Shattuck Addition. In co- inperauon with- the Alaska Juneau and the Juneau Water Company the salt water mains have been ex- tended from the Alaska Juneau im- street i | the hydrants, the water company {the pipe, and the city did the work land furnished the remainder of |the hydrants, Better Than Sinking Fund “In my opinion these improve- |ments, which have made Juneau one of Alaska’s outstanding towns in the past six years, are better for {the community than the creation fund would have been. been content to go along replaced the | power house to the City Dock. The | Alaska Juneau furnished some of in the old way, repairing old struc- |tures, building cheap substitutes |for permanent improvements, there is no questlon that the city could have built up a sizeable sinking fund. The same money has been put into betterments that have |served the general public, given |Juneau a fine reputation for pro- gressiveness, and made the town a more desirable place in which to live. “And there was no real reason why we should have built up a ge sinking fund, a reserve that would have been an invitation to | treasury raiders more than any- thing else. Up to mnow, it would ‘hnvc been impossible to have re- |deemed the outstanding municipal | sewer bonds because the act of |Congress under which they are |authorized specifically provides that no redemption could be made until r years after March, 1929, or this year. The date for final re- |demption is 1949. | “The School bonds do not fall due until 1957. It was possible to |have begun retirement of them aft- ler June 1, 1930, but at that time the City, at the instance of the |property owners for whom the Goldstein committee spoke had al- ready launched its Front Street im- provement project which made it {impossible then to begin redemp- tion until the cost of the Front |Street work, which was not a fund- ed obligation, had been taken care of as promised. 1 In Position Now “Today we are in position to be- |gin redemption. The present City Council has surveyed the city’s fi- | nancial position closely, studied the program for the coming year, and it has reached the decision that before Mageh 31, 1934, it can and will redegm $20,000 of the bonds now outstanding. | “This, we know, can be done without suspending the perma- nent improvement program. It will | be necessary to proceed with care, | and not to attempt to carry out any extnesive program, but some badly needed work can and will be done if the voters see fit to elect | the Progressive Ticket.” WALKER WILL WED ACTRESS Former New York Mayor Is to Marry Betty Compton | CANNES, France, April 3.—Form- ler Mayor of New York City, James J.
