Connors, Col- lector of Customs for the Territory of Alaska, and Mrs. Connors moved this week into their home Third Street, between Gold and Franklin. “We want to express our satis- faction with the work performed by Juneau firms and with the qual- ity of material obtainable through Juneau merchants,” Mr. Connors said when asked about his new home. It is a seven-room house, with a full cement basement, five rooms on the first floor and two on the second floor. All material for building the house was purchased from the Ju- neau Lumber Company, Columbia Lumber Company, Thomas Hard- ware, Juneau-Young Hardware and G. E. Krause, contractor. The plastering and tile work was done by C. W. Wright, and Dave Burnett built the fireplace. Fred Wendt did the decorating and painting. Harri Machine Shop put in the heating and plumbing. Lighting fixtures and electrical appliances were purchased from the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company. Mr. and Mrs. Connors are es- pecially Qlemd ‘with the hard- wood floors throughout the house that were put in by Garland Bog- gan and his assistant, Arthur Kzarnstrom. M. A. Mello was in charge of the work of building the Connors home. Jacob Jackson was his as- sistant. The house is furnished through- out with new furniture purchased from B. M. Behrends Company, Inc., and the Juneau-Young Hard- ware Company. Some of this has been held up by the maritime strike, but much has already been received. The house is modern throughout, equipped with the newest electric range, electric refrigeration, etc. “Our local people did a fine job,” Mr. Connors said, “and I would like to have them have the credit for it.” NORLITEMEN MEET TUESDAY EVENING Norlitemen will hold their month- ly meeting Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 6:30 to 8 o'clock in the Northern Light Presbyterian Church parlors.
