He covered the interior of Alaska by airplane, the Westward by the mo- torship Starr—as far west as it went—and by chartered diesel boat beyond the regular transportation lines, and, as he left for his home in Seattle, he expressed the hope that he might be through traveling for & while. In Anchorage during the Fur Ren- dezvous in February, Mr. Hamberg was impressed by the efforts of the town to establish a fur auction. “It the Fur Rendezvous can get the proper support from the traders, Anchorage should develop into-quite a marketing center for furs,” he said. Like others who have returned from the fur country, Mr. Ham- berg reported the fur catch at least 50 percent off last year.

LUCAS for MAYOR JOHN A. KRUGNESS JOHN McCORMICK RALPH BEISTLINE FAVORS THE "City Manager” plan of city government, but as adaptable to conditions in Juneau. It is briefly this: Mr. Lucas, if elected, would serve as Mayor of the city, but would handle the duties with which he is most familiar—those of City Clerk—while giving general supervision to the other matters requiring the attention of the Mayor. Under this plan, he would delegate the City En- gineer to handle the Street, Sewer, Sidewalk and other work which naturally is of an engineering nature, all of which, of course, comes under the general super- vision of the Council. By this method a SAVING to the city of $2,400 q year would result as the amount of the salary of the City Clerk would be eliminated. In connection with the signing of checks, as is well known the city has a Finance Committee made up of members of the Council which must pass on all expen- ditures of the city before payment is made. The Chair- man of the Finance Committee or Assistant City Clerk can be authorized to sign checks with the Mayor. The office of the City Clerk is the clearing house for all city business, thus the Mayor handling those duties would be in closer touch with general business of the city and in a better position to direct its affairs efficiently and with dispatch. ... The modified “City Manager” plan as planned by the People’s Ticket means ® greater ' efficiency in the ‘ handling of Juneau's business. IT ELIMINATES NO PART OF THE AUTHORITY. VESTED BY LAW IN CITY OFFICIALS OR GENERAL CONDUCT OF THE CITY'S AFFAIRS. It is solely a plan of arrangement to facili- tate the transaction of city business, efficiently and effectively. On this platform, we seek support at next Tues- day's municipal election. The People’s Ticket for the best interests of the people. HARRY L. LUCAS—MAYOR JOHN A.
