| 1 A o Gt o A B R THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, NOV. 16, 1934. -PERHAPS BUSY, MAYBE QUIET; THAT'S COUNGIL Hint at City Hall Indicates that Important Item May Be Due Although there is every evi- dence of a “guiet” meeting of the City Council tonight, there is more than @ hint at City Hall today | that an item of business may be presented which would turn the , session into one rivalling the ex- citement of the most recent pre: vious one. On November 2, the Juneau City Council sat down to a meeting heralded as a “quiet,” nothing-out- of-the-ordinary gathering. It's his- tory now, how councilmen and representatives of women's clubs engaged in a Dbitter word battle over the council's decision not to hire a policewoman. Some repercussions on that po- licewoman proposition may be heard tonight, but that is doubt- ful as the City Fathers have defi- nitely turned down the suggestion. Just what, then, the mysterious subject of discussion at tonight’s meeting would be, city officials would not say. But there was a hint that the gathering could eas- ily turn from a quiet to a busy session. Councilman R. H. Beistline, chairman of “a committee investi-v gating the advisability of the city hiring a building inspector and revsing the building code, said yes- terday that probably he would re-‘ port nothing more than * “progress” tonight. He is waiting Ior a copy of. the Howard Code, which is used , as a building code by most cities, City Clerk A. W. Henning ex- pects to take a short trip to Se- attle within the week and prob- ably will bring back wih him a copy of the Howard Code. A L GASBOAT ACE RETURNS WITH REPORTS OF ED SKARET HUNT PARTY ‘Wilfred Rice, who was sent out on November 13 by U. 8. Commis- sioner J. F. Mullen to check up on small boats reported delayed since the storm of last week, returned to Juneau this morning, having pro- ceeded to Seymour Canal, with stops in all small bays and har- bors between. At Sore. Finger Cove he encoun- tered Martin Wick, who with Ed Skaret, aboard the gasboat Smile, were among the hunters reported overdue. Their boat was broken down and the battery so low they were about to start overland to a fox farm, in the hopes of borrow- ing a boat or sending word to town, when the Ace put into the cove. ‘With the aid of the Ace, they re- charged the battery and both boats started for Juneau. They remained at Taku Harbor last night and left there this morning to proceed to Juneau. The Ace was able to make it, but the Smith was forced to put back to Taku Harbor to await more favorable weather. It will continue into port as soon as it is able, according to the report made to Commissioner Mullen by Mr. Rice. | Other small boats encountered were in good condition and in no danger.

PATCO WILL BRING The seaplane Patco left Juneau at 11 o'clock this morning on a trip to Chichagof. There the plane was expected to pick up three passengers and bring them to Juneau sometime late this afternoon. THREE TO JUNEAU | | l Quantities of ptarmigan are re- ported in this vicinity, both near Mendenhall Glacier and up Gold Creek basin, according to Frank Dufresne, Game Warden for the Alaska Game Commission. Goats are also said to be plentiful near Mendenhall Glacier and have been |obtained close to the flats and near the Salmon Creek dam re- cently, Warden Dufresne said. Sev- !eral hunters have obtained goats quite near ‘the Glacier. l ‘This hds beén a peak year for ptarmigan in the Interior with hundreds of thousands observed throughout the district and those around ‘Juneau are possibly an overflow, Mr. Dufresne said. Rab- bits are also plentiful and trap- pers, ‘particularly, near Fort Yu- kon, are anticipating a good season this year. - immrmm‘ PREVIEW AT COLISEUM THEATRE OF | | ENTERTAINING PROGRAM | There wui b€ & midnight pre- view at the.
