J. Davis, Chief of Police, who has is- sued instructions to officers to tag all such cars. “There are still a few cars be- ing operated that are carrying old license plates, and as nearly five months have elapsed since the 1934 ° licenses were payable, we feel that we have given vhicl owners plenty | of time to obtain new licenses.| There are also a number of cars carrying only one 1934 plate. The Jaw requires license plates to be affixed at both front and rear and violations of this regulation will not be tolerated any longer. Every car that does not have the proper plates is being tagged, and the owner will have to square him-| self with the City Magistrate.” Defective equipmenf is also be- ing closely checked by police offi- cers, said Chief Davis, brakes and lights, getting the most attention. “Several fines have been levied against speeding motorists recent-! ly and vigorous steps are being tak-, en to curb this practice,” said the| chief. | Another bit of advice given out by Chief Davis today is a warning to motorists to be Sure they have taken out operators' licenses for the period ending May 31, 1935. “Nobody is permitted to drive a car without such a license, and violations are to be penalized un- less drivers hustle up to the City Clerk’s office and arrange for the necessary permit,” he declared. | |that time, BIG SAW MILL AT KETCHIKAN for another 10 days, the Ketchi- /kan Spruce Mills will have to dis- ’ccn!mue its operations and some | 150 men will be thrown out of em- ployment, declared Eldon Daly, President and General Manager of the company, who arrived here last night by plane on a busine$® trip. He plans to return home this even- ing or tomorrow by plane. The mills have orders that prom- |ised to make it the best season in several years, but if the strike con- tinues to blockade traffic it will be disastrous, he said. Much of the stock under order is for Western points. At present the mills have 500,000 feet of lumber on its docks for the West. Included in this is 250,000 feet of ties for the Alaska Rail- road. Within a few days this will be increased to 400,000 feet. All available storage space will be ex- hausted within 10 days, Mr. Daly said. If there is no movement by the company will be forced to close down. “We are working 80 men In the |sawmill and box plant and another 70 in the woods. If we close down all of these will be out of em- ployment, at least temporarily,” he said. s S MRS. E. S .KROH IS BOUND FOR SITKA ON VICTORIA Mrs. E. S.
