Dr. Henry Griest says the nanves told him the plane took off, raised | about 50 or 60 feet, the motor mis- fired, the ship slipped on one wing, crashed nose on, first into the tun- dra, then made a ground loop inbo the water. A fog was prevailing at the ume. Torn tundra and the wrecked plane in the water are all that| mark the spot where the famous men died. o - e “DEVIL DOGS OF AIR” FEATURE AT CAPITOL SUNDAY “Devil Dogs of the Air,” a ro- mance of the flying marines, opens at the Capitol Theatre Sunday.

Femmer vs Juneau, the Mayor and of the City Council, and land Transportation Com- | pany, an answer was today filed in D: ict Court to plaintiff’s com- plaint The complaint which was filed in| May seeks to have the court hold| invalic contract entered into between the City and the North- land Transportation Company last April. T complaint was filed by D. B. Femmer as a taxpayer and he! 18 sented by Judge James 1am and Henry Roden. The alleges that the ' City | 1ad no power to enter into act, and the plaintiff asks court to declare the contract to and void and of no force or Wi compl Coun :rms of the contract, which is April 24, the Northland ation Company agreed to land i sels at the city dock for a period of five years, and the city agreed to furnish a wharfinger and to handle the freight and make col- ion of all charges, etc.; the city to derive its revenue from wharf- age and dockage charges. The Northland Transportation. Company, date B by the terms of the contract, guar- antees the city a tonnage of 6,000 year. In other words, the cts wharfage on all freight fhandled, but if the amount of ton- H e should fall below 6,000 tons in twelve months' period, the iland Transportation Company vill pay at current rates the wharf- rges for handling an equiva- l( nt of 6,000 tons. Improvements "he city agreed, by the contr to make ces provemer n the dock, consisting of new piling, covering portions of the warehouse with galvanized iron, and the construction of a sidewalk to the street. These improvements |have been made out of the general revenues of the City derived from taxation and other sources. The Territorial law. apter 48, Session Laws of 1935, gives the city ppwer ‘to purchase, construch or otherwise aocquire, establish and op- erate public wharves, etc." The jstatute contains a provision that no| wpubhc wharf “shall be operated or| maintained by funds raised by tax- ation, but from the revenue collect- ed for the service rendered by such ‘wharf, ete.” City’s Contention The answer which was filed today by H. L. Faulkner, attorney for the city and the other defendants, sets up that the repairs, alterations and improvements were made to the | city dock pursuant to the terms of ; the contract from the general reve- ny terms of ain im- ‘fiues of the city, and that these im- | provements and alterations cost '$5,602.80; that the total revenue to date, that is, for the period from April 27 to August 15, from the op-. eration of the city dock has been $4133.16; and that the total ex- /pehses of operation were $2,138.65, leaving a net profit for the period from April 27 to August 15 of $1,- 99451. It is alleged that on the basis of the guaranteed tonnage, provided the expenses of operation fémain the same, there will be an annual profit of $6452.70 from the operation of the city dock. The answer, while aamitting that Robert{the improvements were made from the general revenues of the city, al- ileges that these improvements did not constitute operation nor mainte- | nance, but were in the nature of | expenses incurred in order to ‘“es- tablish” the dock or wharf. It is al- {leged that the city dock or wharf had fallen into disrepair and that it h{;d not been in use for approxi- mately one year prior to the date 'of the contract, and that it was not in a condition to be used without the expenditures which the city incurred pursuant to the terms of the contract. The answer also al- leges that it would have been im- ‘possible to operate the dock as a public dock unless arrangements were made by some steamship line by which a sufficient tonnage could be guaranteed to provide all éxpenses of operation and mainte- nance. e — SHOP IN JUNEAY, FIRST!
