Each school is sending their best musicians which will work with Juneau’s music de- partment to put on two big con- certs, Wednesday, April 22, and Saturday, April 25 The spirit of Festival is the spirit of cooperaticn — everyone working togeth without any thought of compensation entering in. ( In the States, every district has their Festival, the best represen- tatives cligible to pass certain re- quirements and then go to either State or National Festivals. Alaska Takes Action Last year Alaska instituted the|, same idea. Juneau sent 10 students | under the direction of Miss Ruth Coffin to Ketchikan to form the| first music festival for Southeast Alaska. It was extremely successful | in every respect. Not only did it| create a higher musicianship stand-, ard between the two towns, but it| also developed a sense.of coopera- tion and comradeship between the two schools. This year Peters and Wrangell have indicated the approval by sending delegates to Juneau. | Various organizations in the States are watching the develop- ment and growth of Festival in Alaska with keenest interes With the cooperation and bz ing of the individuals and organi- zations of Juneau, the Second An- nual Southeast Alaska Music Fe tival will be the outstanding musical achievment of school mu in the Territory.

COLONEL WILD GOING TO INTERIOR ON FLOOD CONTROL Lieut. Col. H. J. Wild, district en- gineer of the U. S. Corps of Engin- eers of the War Department, will urive in Fairbanks in July to in- vestigate conditions of the Tanana ver and Chena Slough respecting the application of flood control work, according to a letter from Lieut. Col. Wild which was read at a re- tent meeting of the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce. IMPROVEMENTS BEING PLANNED, JUNEAU AREAS New Water Main on Gas- tineau — Sidewalk on Willoughby Projected Pians and specifications for a new n pipe water main, replacing the sting wooden high-pr re aux- iliary pipe line along Gastineau Avenue, connecting with the A. J. reservoir, to be drawn up by City Engineer Milton Lagergren, and a all for bids on the proposed im- provement by City Clerk A W. Henning, were auth ed by the City Council at the meeting last night. A preliminary survey of the project by Engincer Lagergren re- ulted in an estimated cost for the project of $4,200 The exisiting wooden pipe line rock from the A. J. mine, at an estimated cost of $750, the work | of applying the surfacing material to begin in the near future. At the| suggestion of Councilman Frank | McCafferty, it was agreed to scarify the street surface before applying | the crushed rock, which, it was stated, will result in a more satis- factory finished surface than appli- | cation of the surfacing material to the existing hard surface of the street. Installation of a new and larger drain on Kennedy Street from fifth Street, to replace the existing 8 inch drain which is reported to be too small to carry the volume of water required for efficient drain- age, was suggested at the meeting last night, but no action was taken. B.P.W.C. WILL BE BUESTS MONDAY $. DAVIS OF MR !has been in the ground for more| The Business Professional than 20 years, Mayor Goldstein said,| ywomen's Club will be the guesis and has required considerable re- pair. Leaks have been fixed by the lication of metal bands and con- crete enclosures, he stated, and -a new pipe line is necessary due to possibility of damage to property in the event that the wooden water main should burst. The new pipe line will be installed on the upper side of Gastineau Avenue, Mayor Goldstein said, relieving the City f the expense of removing the ex- sting pipe line, which is on the lower side of the street New Sidewalk Another prospective city improv ment is a new sidewalk on Will- oughby Avenue, replacing the exis ing threo plank walk. “I believe that the people along Willoughby Avenue are entitled to a sidewalk,” said Mayor oGldstein, who proposed pr “and that should be our first spring improvemeit.” It was estimated by City Engin- eer Milton Lagergren that a five-foot sidewalk constructed of native hemlock, extending from Scuth Main street to E Street, would cost appro y $1,500, and that 2 four-foot walk of the same mat- erial would cost about $1,160. Con-, struction of a cement walk was con- sidered impractical at the present time due to the fact that the Will- oughby Avenue till is said to be still settli which would result in dam- age to cement improvements Light Pole Issue Mr. Lagergren reported that poles belonging to the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company will have to be moved to allow construction of a five-foot sidewalk, but that a four-foot walk could be built with the poles remaining in their present position. Mayor Golstein reported that search of City records by himself and Engineer Lagergren had failed to disclose any definite information regarding the property line affecting the sidewalk improvement on Will- oughby Avenue, and the Council agreed to table the matter temp- orarily to allow consultation with B. D. Stewart, former Mayor, and former City Engineer. Resurface Willoughby The city was authorized by the Council to resurface Willoughby Avenue with 1,500 yards of crushed the of Rose Davis, teacher at the Doug- las Government School, on Mon- | day ning, April 20.

Albrecht is Chairman of the Pro- | gram Committee, assisted by Mrs. Willism Paul and Caroliné Todd. | Club members wishing to attend the | party are requested to contact Mrs | Albrecht. BUILDING CODE PASSES COUNCIL, NOWEFFECTIVE City Police Force to Be Uniformed—Ordinance | Covering Fireworks The last controversy regarding the details of the new Building Code! ordinance was settled at the meet- | of the City Council last night, and the ordinance was read and approv- | ed for the third and last time, be- | coming effective at once. A motion was adopted by the| Council authorizing the purchase | of new uniforms for the Juneau | Police Force, and after considerable | discussion by members of the de- | partment it was decided that uni- | forms similar to those worn by the | ‘Washington State Patrol will be or- | dered at once. The umiforms will be dark gray cloth and will be worn | with Sam Brown belis and puttees. Aids Welfare Board | At the request of the Rev. Erling K. Olafson and Norman Banfield, who represented e Welfare Board, the Council agreed to pay bills owed by the Board amounting to approxi- mately $250, including charges of $14250 for hauling wood cut by relief workers on the Lena Cove Road to the wood pile operated by the Welfare Board, and smaller amounts for distribution of reindeer meat and donated clothing to desti- tute people. The necessity for fur- ther funds, it was explained, is un- likely, as there will be no further aistribution of meat and very little distribution of clothing within the near future, and wood pile activities will be allowed to lapse during the summer season. Other expenditures of City funds authorized by the Councii were: payment of $15 to Dr. William P, Blanton for emergency medical ser- | vices; payment of $15 to Police Of- ficer Kenneth Junge for a coat ruined in line of duty: and payment of $35 to the Juneau Mine Workers Association for lights, heat and oth- er expenses resulting from the Min- | ing Short Courses conducted here last winter by the Mining Extension Department of the University of Al- aska. I Fireworks Ordinance After considerable discussion of the proposed new City ordinance reg- ulating the sale and discharge of fireworks, in cooperation with the City of Douglas, the Council euth- orized the City Att raw up an ordinance limiting the display, rackers, which take their |’ will repeal rohibiting the narge of fire- works within the city limits, and which is to be presented at the next regular meeting of the City Council. s on Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill called the attention of the Council to the fact that quantities of gasoline, up to 250 gallons are stored at local airplane floats. Under the new building code storage of more than! 10 gallons of gasoline is prohibited within the city limits except in buried tanks, Chief Mulvihill said. The matter was referred to members of the Fire Committee of the City Council, with a request to cooper- ate with Chief Mulvihill in effect- ing a solution of the problem.
