He specially opposed uXpanding activities of the Public Works Administration contending the resulting employment was not great enough to justify the huge expenditures involved. Relief Plans Despite the reported resignation of Douglas, the President is going ahead with his relief plans. Hop- kins and Tugwell, two of his closest aides, are with him, bringing the latest data on unemployment and drought. There is no sign the President has changed his ideas on relief.

Excel- lent music was provided by a three piece orchestra. Lovely flowers, from the garden of Dr. and Mrs. Simpson’s summer place, Auk Nu, decorated the stage, the table from which punch was served and the rooms on the first floor. Among the guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reedy, Miss Eugene Reedy and Frank Reedy, Jr., of Dallas, Texas, who have been in Juneau for the last week and are leaving for their home tomorrow, and Charles Bel- knap, nephew of Stewart Edward ‘White, who has been spending the summer cruising in Alaska waters aboard the yacht Kuru, and is re- turning to his home in New York from Juneau.

Property owners have hitherto appeared somewhat | apathetic about making suggested | changes in electric equipment which would improve radio reception in their vicinity, it is said, but steps are .to be taken to enforce com-| pliance with the eity radio ordi- nance. Instructed te Report 1 H. E.

In order to expedite matters, rules were suspended to permit passage of the ordinance for all fhree readings in one session. | It was also decided to reques(i permission of the Public Works| Administration for the City to do| the preliminary grading for slreet: paving and other items of the| projected work, it being felt by members of the council that the city equipment in the way of tools, wheelbarrows and street grader could be used to good advantage and with a considerable saving in the total costs of the various pro- Jects. Radio Issue As Needed It was brought out in the course of the meeting that not all of the | |bonds would be issued at one time, | necessarily, but will be issued as| each call for bids is made, thus saving a considerable amount to the city in interest on the bonds. For $103,000 in public improve- ments, the city will be called upon to repay $80,000 to the government, that sum being divided into 20 annual payments of $4,000 each.| |Interest on the bonds will be at| the rate of four percent.
