i | | s o A T ELKS BACK PLAN FOR CHILDREN'S PLAY FAGILITIES Judge Alexander Urges Need Be Filled in Propos- ed New City Library A resolution was passed unani- mously at the meeting of the Elks Lodge last night requesting that pro- visions for recreational needs of children be incorporated in the plans for the proposed new City Library, according to Judge George F. Alexander, who appeared as a special representative of the Elks Lodge at the Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Terminal Cafe today. The original plans contemplated by the City Council two years ago called for a three-story, or two-story and basement, building, Judge Alex- ander said, one floor to be occupied by the Library, one floor to house the Council Chamber and City offices, and the third floor to be devoted to recreational facilities for children. There is practically no place here for children outside of school hours, Judge Alexander said. No Added Expense Aside from the cost of the build- ing, there would be no added expense to the City in providing' recreational facilities for children, Judge Alex- ander said, as the cost of equipment could be raised by popular subscrip- tion. “I don’t know of any better inves ment that can be made by this or any other community,” Judge Alex ander said, “than a building of tha character. It will certainly be a fine investment in citizenship.” The provision requested by the Elks Lodge was referred to H. L. | VanderLeest, Chairman of the Civic Improvement Committee, for con- sideration. No report with regard to the new City Library from the com- mittee headed by Mr. VanderLeest was forthcoming at the meeting to- day as such a report cannot be made until plans for the proposed build- ing are available. Shipping Man Guest Winston J. Jones, Assistant President S. A. Perkins of the Al ka Transportation Company, was 2 guest at the meeting today. Mr Jones extended greetings from the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce and an invitation to Juneau Chamber of Commerce members to attend the ‘Tacoma Chamber. While a newcom - er to Alaska, Mr. Jones said, he did not feel a stranger as he has been associated with Alaskan shipping in- terests for many years. His father came to Alaska in 1895 with the Goodall Perkins Company, he said. It was announced at the meeting that N. Lester Troast, J. M. Clark and Charles G. Warner were ap- pointed by the Executive Board at their meeting last Tuesday to a spe- cial committee to cooperate with A. B.
