Juneau's Leading CARELESS SHOOTING MUST STOP Control Cables of R_adlo System Damaged—Fin- al Warning Given The matter of shooting along the Glacier Highway is getting to be quite a problem for the local Army radio station. Twice in the past five months and four times during the past year some one has malic- jously or accidently shot through the control cables leading to the receiving station at Mile 7. When the heavy lead cable is shot into it breaks all the smaller pairs of wires inside which are in turn connected to various instruments and equipment, causing a serious mess and entire disruption until the fault is located and fixed. Due to the physical makeup of the heavy cable it does not break entirely in two, as a small iron telephone or light line would, and & small bullet holc through it is hard to locate After the break is located it takes some amount of labor personel and THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1936.

Results: time. traffic tangles and loss of Spider Web System The Triborough Bridge, he ex- plains, not only will span the wat- which separate New York ity’s three upper boroughs.
