Smith has been in the Senate 28| years, is a Chairman of the im- portant Agricultural Committee, a post to which he was elected during the Hoover Administration, when Republicans had a majority on the committee.

DARNELL MARKS END OF FIRST YEAR AT TRIANGLE CLEANERS Rod Darnell today marked the| completion of the first year as own- er-operator of the Triangle Clean- ers, which, one year ago, he pur- chased from the late N. G. Nelson, vious to assuming control of the Triangle Cleaners, Mr. Darnell had been in charge of cleaning work for the Alaska aLundry. Since taking over the Triangle Cleaners, Mr. Darnell has added greatly to the efficiency of that concern by the installation of ad- ditional, modern equipment and by bolstering the personnel with ex- perienced and able cleaners. As a result of the excellent ser- vice he has always striven to main- tain, Mr. Darnell was today able customers, of those recently acquired satisfied majority |customers who were habitual pat- {rons one year ago. Seeking always to make his clean- ing service the finest possible, Mr. | Darnell today enters his second year but a in business in Juneau with plans |for several mew additions and re- | visions to his establishment in pros- | pect | -, |FINAL PLANS MAD |fection attained among the girls DOUGLAS NEWS ,i o+ COUNCIL CONSIDERS CURRENT ISSUES; 'ASSESSED VALUATION PLACEDP' AT $303,000.00 The streets, wharf, health, and fire and water departments of the Douglas regular business affairs en- gaged most of the Council's atten- tion at the meeting last night. With all members present except Councilman Bonner, it was voted to repair the dock and coal bunkers as economically as possible. Mr. Rie- di, wharf committeeman stated that approximately 1000 feet of lumber would be necessary to fix up the south side of the coal shed. Regarding the streets, Council- man Nunamaker reported they were in fair condition as a result of some work done by the tractor last week but that the heavy rains had made it difficult to accomplish much. A rock fill needed to properly repair lower Front Street was reported to cost about $250. That matter will be investigated further before ac- tion is taken. Under Health and Police, com- mitteeman Carlson told about the complaints received about the un- sanitary condition of the Brady house on St. Ann's Avenue. The place is to be investigated at once and proper action taken. Mr. Balog of the Fire and Water committee reported the water res- ervoir is in need of being cleaned | out as the water was very dark due | to decayed vegetation. Also that| merun Honors Go to Snow; Erskine Is Hard est Worker Walt Andrews, Douglas first sacker and manager, and Hilding Hag- lund, Moose centerfielder, gathered in most of the honors in the different fields of batting and baserunning, according to the official Gastineau Channel League departmentalized batting figures, including all regular players on the rosters of the three reams. While Claude Erskine took part in the most games during the regular season, 22, Andrews led in the important department of driving in runs, pounding 16 across the plate. Right behind Andrews was Joe Snow, with 115, Only six homeruns were hit during the entire regular season, and Snow clouted two of them to lead the fence-busters. Haglund led in dumping bunts, with six sacrifices, while he was also fastest on the paths, stealing 12 bases. Snow purloined the next greatest number of bags, 11. Andrews hit the most singles, 22, while Haglund and Eddie Roller tied for second spot with 21 each. Martin topped Roller by one to lead the hitters of doubles with 7. Andrews, Erskine and Martin tied for first yhonors in the triple-blasting department with 3 each. Leading striker- touter was Stan Grummett, who ‘whiffed 21 times, while Hagerup and Nelson fanned 19 times each. Grummett, however, also led when it came to gathering free trips to first, drawing 13 walks to top his teammate Fritz Schmitz by two. Most often stranded on base were two Islanders, Red Gray and Roller, who were left high and dry 19 times apiece.

It voted to cooperate with the | Alaska Juneau as much as possible in the matter. A communication from A. E Karnes, Commissioner of Education, presented the matter of school re-| ports not being in. The Finance committee, Mr. Cashen, chairman, was ordered to investigate the busi- ness and have it straightened up as soon as possible. | The five dollar water service charge for bringing water to prop- erty lines came under discussion as| being insufficient for the expense! involved. The charge remains un- changed however. Four bills totaling $188 were or-} dered paid. | Announcement of the total as-| sessed valuation of taxable prop- erty to $303,000 was made by the Finance Committee and Clerk Tuck- | ett reported tax payments coming“ in slowly so far. Delinquency date for payment is October 12. . . D.LW.C.
