Despite the fact that Federal aid has bridgod} much of the gap, most of them are in no where near the | sound financial condition in which Juneau finds itself. The Mayor and the city councilmen have handled a tough proposition in a commendable manner. In summing up, the city administration for mn} past year has established, under trying conditior good record, one that any voter may investigate thor- oughly. Credit should go to the past year’s council | for its support of the administrative head in the ac- | complishments of the past year.

Another city election rolls around on Tuesday and the voters naturally will be looking over the record A great deal of work has been done in Juneau during the past 12 months and the record as brought out in is well worth analysizing last night's council meeting both from the viewpoint of what the taxpayers' money has been spent for and to see if the men the citizens of Juneau put in office a year ago have measured up to what most of the taxpayers expected. Mayor Gold- ernment, the city has expended during the 12 month period, ending April 1, a sum of approximately $43,130. Of that amount approximately $12,000 was used in carrying on the city’s end of the FERA work, which means giving employment to those who needed it and at the same time getting some benefit from the work for the city. With the aid of the Federal government, that $12,000 has resulted in the building of a retaining wall on the northwest side of Sixth Street, between Gold and Harris, to hold the bank where the street was widened last summer. It has brought about the DUCK PROTEST MAY GET RESUL Encouraging news comes to the duck shooters of | Alaska.

It would not matter what his intentions were, promises they are both now making—they have both been in office for years. We agree with Councilman George’s promise to eliminate the Mayor's salary resulting in a saving of $3,000.00 annually. But,—Why was it not done, or at least advocated by Councilman George during some of the years he has been on the City Council? We feel that the people of Juneau have been treated fairly in the matter of their city government, and we feel justified in asking the vot- ers for support in order that the present system may be continued. We feel justified in asking that the voters vote the People’s Ticket straight. A captain works better with a friendly crew. R “Experience should outweigh good intentions” says Mayor Goldstein, who got his experience at a salary of $3,000.00 annually, paid by Juneau taxpayers. During his experienced administration the bonded indebted- ness of the City of Juneau has increased by leaps and bounds—the City’s bonded debt is now $216,000.00 We favor economy in the City government without disturbing safety or efficiency. We are opposed to any further bonded indebtedness im- posed upon the taxpayers. Vote the Citizen’s-Economy Ticket STRAIGHT!
