The value of many properties will be seriously jeopardized unless this work is undertaken immediately. “We will urge no property er to undertake repairs or im- provements who is not fully able to do so, or unless the improve- ments are needed or desirable. We will urge, however, every property owner who is financially able to go ahead immediately. “There are many reasons,” Chair- man Connors stated, ‘‘why prop- erty owners should make improve- ments now. Prices of building ma- terials and labor are at fair lev- els. If anything, they are likely to increase as business turns up- ward. This means that improve- ments made now will increase in wvalue. “As far as the home owner is concerned, I am sure he will agree with me that no expenditure he can make will return greater divi- dends in satisfaction than money spent on his home. “Most of us are prone to think of the casualties of the past four or five depression years in terms of its human victims, and rightly 80, but there have been other vic- tims. Hundreds of houses, apart- ments, and other buildings in our city have sufféred seriously from lack of normal care and attention. “Owners have wanted to take of their properties, but they . mot been able to because of inéome or lack of credit.

Another major decision made by the Chamber was the negative vote taken on the proposition to change its meeting date from Thursday to Tuesday noons. On a motion by Allen Shattuck, sec- |onded by H. L. Faulkner, the Chamber unanimously voted to re- tain Thursday. Army Aviation Bases Beveral minor business details cenfronted the members. Secre- tary Curtis Shattuck read a re- port which indicated that other Alaska Chambers of Commerce were favoring Juneau's proposal that several army military aviation bases be established in the Ter- y. Cordova, Fairbanks, Skag- | Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchi- kan, Petersburg, Seward and Val- dez Chambers have approved the measure, it was announced. However, Juneau, other pro- posal to Alaskan Chambers rela- tive to highway patrol regulations apparently had failed to carry. |Cordova, Ketchikan, Petersburg, |Seward and Valdez have all voted “no,” with no affirmative votes, other than's Juneau’s, reported. Secretary Shattuck also read of communications between the Cham- ber and 8. W. Purdum, assistant Postmaster General at Washington, D. C., concerning the reported coming reduction in the custodian staff at Federal and Territorial Building here. dum advised the Chamber that he weathers— ES fore action was taken.

Mrs. Mary Harriman Ramsey, who heads the former, has the job of coordinating consumer policies in NRA and AAA, and of organiz- ing consumers’ councils in local communities to watch profiteer- ing. The information service answers 500 queries a day—where to get a farm loan, what branch of the government can tell the kind of hair dye to use, ete., etc. Richberg, who K takes home & bulging briefcase every night just as he did when he was at at- torney for the railway brotherhoods in Chicago, has a comparatively small personal staff, a private sec- tetary, counsel and executive as- sistant. | on the careless use of high-powered firearms on the Mendenhall Glac- ier flats, thereby endangering hu- man life. John Jones sald, in this respect, that work was being pushed en the construction of a rifle range, which, when complet- ed would leave no excuse for the use of high-powered guns on the flats. As the concluding item of busi- ness, Hardy Trefzger, of Yakataga Beach, urged the Chamber to assist his community. in obtaining a reg- ular mail service. Welfare Speaker The speaker of the day was Capt. R. B. Lesher of the Salva-! tion Army, who briefly reviewed the campaign of the United Wel- fare Board to raise funds for un- employed relief this winter. “No able-bodied man will have to ask for food or lodgihg,” was the assurance given by Capt. Lesh- er. He announced that a drive, which is expected to be completed this week, has raised $1,750. James J. Connors, newly named general chairman of tHe city’s Federal Housing Administration committee, was one of the final | speakers of the day. He did not forecast specific results for the | coming FHA campaign for reha- bilitation of every Juneau home, but indicated that his committee would work hard toward that end.
