COUNCIL TOASK | LEGISLATURE T0 AID CITY LAWS City Attorney to Draw Pe-| titions for Two Pro- | NJUNCTION |s‘ Dady Cross-word Puzzle posed Bills The Territorial Legislature will be asked soon to enact two laws giving Alaskan municipalities en- larged powers. These two requests for legisla- tion will come from Juneau, it was decided at a meeting of the City Council in City Hall last night. As its most important act of the night's session, the Council asked City Attorney H. L. Faulkner to help it construct petitions on the following two proposals 1. A bill giving municipalities the right to condemn old buildings as menaces to health and safety. 2. A bill giving municipalities the option of electing their officials for a term of (wo years instead ©I| for the mandatory one-year term now in effect. | Building Code Second in importance on the City Fathers’ program last night was the discussion of a building code and possible appointment of a building inspector. This problem has been hovering in the back- ground of councilmanic actions for many months, but came to a head last night when a large delegation of contractors and carpenters at- tended the Council session A proposal was made from the carpenter-contractor group that the contractors in the eity be licensed This, it was pointed out, would keep out all irresponsible contract- ors and would provide a fund which could aid in the salary of an ap- pointed building inspector. This idea met with instant favor witih both the Council and Mayor Isadore Goldstein, again in the pre- siding chair after a two weeks’ ab- sence in Seattle. But, the Mayor pointed out, the suggestion prob- ably could be held to be illegal, inasmuch as the city does not have | the right to license groups, such as| the contractors. Six Appointed However, the Mayor asked a| group of six representative men to examine the problem and arrive at some solutien. He apopinted Coun- | cilman R. H, Beistline, Al Dishaw, G. E. Krause, A. B. Berg, Ralph Martin and J. B. Bernhofer. Al but Beistline are either contractors or connected with the building industry. A communication from R. F. Lewis, President of the Juneau Water Company, was read, in which Lewis said that his organization would go ahead with its previously announced plan of enlarging its service. The letter stated that the company would make a reservoir out of the old tunnel in Gold Creek Basin, and that, from this supply, would construct a 6-inch main to serve the Casey-Shattuck Addition. No action was taken last night on the offer of the Mt. Juneau | Brewing Company, a local concern, to lease part of the City Dock. However, it was announced that officials of this company and city authorities would meet this after-| noon in an attempt to agree on terms. -~ ATTENTION L O. O. F. Regular meeting of Aurora En-| campment will be held in Juneau Tuesday evening, February 19, at| 7 o'clock. Initiation of candidates will take place and all members are requested to be present. L. W.

The electors were taken from the 1930 assess- ment rolls in both instances, it is charged, but that in the latter election where property was held jointly by husband and wife only !the person whose name appeared lon the assessment roll was allowed to vote.
