Definite word that U. C. L. A, latest Pacific Coast college to place rowing on an intercollegiate basis, had'agreed to the Lake Washing- ton meet was received here from Charles Frankland, director of Washington athletics, no win Cali- fornia. The date of the sweep joust is set as Saturday, May 11. It is ex- pected that varsity, junior varsity and freshman crews will be sent from Los Angeles. Plans for the regatta have been considered for weeks, but the offi- cial agreement was not reached until Frankland conferred with U. C. L. A. officials in Westwood, Cal. DAKOVICH DlES ‘ THIS AFTERNOON George Dakovich, who was taken to St. Ann's Hospital Wednesday afternoon with a fractured leg, died at 1:45 o'clock this afternoon. At- tending physicians said that a hemorrhage of the brain 'caused death. Dakovich, an employee of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany, was knocked down by a rock at the mine Wednesday and was Tushed to the hospital in an ambu- 0% ¢ lance. Thorough examination revealed only a fractured leg. However, at 8 o'clock that night the man lapsed into unconsciousness, from which he never roused. It is believed by physicians that the man must have struck his head in the fall, although there was no mark or sign of an injury to the head. Evidently, physicians agreed, there was a slight concussion. Dakovich, according to informa- tion from the Alaska Juneau em- ployment office, is survived by a cousin living in Yugoslavia. His body is being held at the C. W. Carter Mortuary. He had worked steadily at the mine“here since 1932, and, previ- t3:"that, ‘had 'w ; in the employ of Juneau.

Dempsey and his wife, theé for<; mer Hannah Williams, a Broadway stage star, said today that their| daughter would be given a good education.

But he knew that only good whiskey could fulfill that func- ®ion. So he made a whiskey so fine that even 14 years of Prohibi- tion could not dim its memory in men’s minds. Paul Jones is a blend of straight whiskies. It is made by the di- rect descendants of Paul Jones. ‘And it’s made in the slow, costly old-fashioned way. Try a bottle of Paul Jones.

But for the uninformed, it should be stated that it is not customary to do concrete work in the dead of winter in Juneau. City officials would not permit it and the PWA engineers would not permit it. Today work that was ‘started on the Gold Creek bridge in brief favorable intervals is suspended on account of freezing weather. We believe the citizens and taxpayers of Juneau want GOOD pave- ments, sidewalks and bridges and do not mind waiting for them untll the weather permits proper construction. Although the PWA' bonds were authorized by the voters August 29, 1934, so much detail work with the PWA headquarters in Washington was required that it was not until January that the $80,000 allotted \\(n availabie. It might be stated here that City Attorney H. L. Faulkner has done a fine job of looking after the multitudinous legal details connected with this PWA grant and loan, and his charges for >s rendered have been about half of what is considered customary. THAT $10,000 BOND PAYMENT The statement has been made by carping critics of the Goldstein administration that the previous regime provided the former with the funds for taking up $10,000 in school bonds December 1, 1933. This is frenzied financial thinking with a vengeance! Reference is probably made to the $13,000 in delinquent taxes as of April 1, 1933 as the spurce of the Yunds mentioned. Why not say a few words about the $15,000 bank loan bequeathed to the present adminis- tration when it assumed office two years ago and a couple of thousand dollars accounts payable besides’ Speaking of delihquent taxes, it will be of interest to know that when the books are elosed tomorrow the delinquent taxes will amount to approximately $4,800 for 1934 and less than $2,000 for previous years. U INTEREST ON BONDS In an advertisement in yesterday’s Empire statements were made that “Your city government” has paid to date $60,000 in interest on bond issues totaling $156,000, on which only $10,000 has been paid on principal. Do these pbliticians think the voters are gullible and un- intelligent enough to swallow the plain insinuation here that the GOLD- STEIN ADMINISTRATION is responsible for paying out these huge interest amounts? Both the school bonds and the sewer bonds were voted by the people years ago, in 1927 and 1929, and succeeding admin- of.course, to meet the interest payments. For the year 1 33 the City paid out $11,874.56 in interest on bond issues and loang from the bank. For the year 193*19'4—lhe first of the Goldstein administration— the interest payments, fell to $10,556.63. For the present year—1934-1935—the interest payments were still further reduced, to $9,673.55. Do these facts mean anything at all? HOW TO REDUCE INTEREST The most effective way to cut down interest charges is to keep city expenses to a minimum that will allow the taking up of the bonds as fast as possible. It cannot be done by placing the surplus, if any, in sinking funds to pay for future purchase of public utilities which can- not help but involve additional bond issues eventually, Had the city not been obliged to pay out $7,006 as its share in work relief program of the Federal Government and to pay $3,190 for injury claims, which cannot be justly considered normal expenditures and avmdable, there would have been another $10,600 payment on old bond issues. These are the only two items that could be mentioned. Mayor Goldstein has told the public about other extraordinary expendi- tures necessitated by abnormal conditions that reduced the surplus for bond retirement, as planned and desired. The city is fortunate that all these demands on the municipal treasury have been met and the fiscal year closes with no money owing the banks and current bills provided for. RE-ELECT Mayor 1.
