Dear Sir: As property owners and taxpaye of the Cit§ of Juneau, we are writ- ing to protest what we consider to be a flagrant mis-use of public funds, which are direct contribu- tions to the city's welfare and pro- gress through taxation of resident| property owners. We refer specific- ally to current improvements being undertaken on the Seatter Tract| are, or should be, strietly private | business. The question is simply this: Are we Juneau taxpayers going to allow ourselves to be bulldozed by a mu- nicipal administration which, ap-| parently, is more concerned with, TO VACATION AT MARMION * joqutiful but that the country was| S o0 Patricla Graham, Elaine its own welfare than with that; of the people who elect them to office? Or are we going to do something about. it—and if so, what? Ohvious- ly we can do little about the mem- bership of the Council or the activ- ities of the Mayor untll the next election-Bunless by public clamor they can be read out of office. But we can, we must and we will fight for our rights. WE WANT THAT SIDEWALK! (Signed) George E. Sheeper A. B. Holden Lorraine M. Holden . E. C. Reynolds Mrs. D. H.

McCUTCHEON RETURNS FROM INSPECTION TRIP All canneries in the Westward area have put up large packs of salmon during the present season, according to Steve MceCutcheon, Assistant Commissioner of Labor, who returned by plane yesterday from a month’s inspection trip. Mr. McCutcheon made the trip as far as False Pass in a small craft of the Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice and returned to Kodiak on the | From there he flew to An-| Loat. chorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. Working conditions in all the canneries inspected were excellent and the operators uniformly coop- erative, he said. However all plants were handicapped by a serious shortage of labor and few had a full complement. In the district around Cook In- let, Prince William Sound, Shu- magin Island group and False Pass the run was excellent and around Kodiak it was fair, according to Mr, McCutcheon. This was the first trip Mr. Mc- Cutcheon had made to the far Western islands and he declared that the scenery was unbelievably ‘totigh.’ quently The fog reported so fre- is a serious reality and IN WAR AS IN PEACE DEPOSITS IN THIS BANK ARE INSU RED CONSERVATIV! management and strict Governmeng supervision work constantly for the protection of our depositors.

First publicatio; August 25, Last publication: August 29, 1942 1942 | City Council on ‘the grounds that; there is insufficient money to un- dertake various requested projects for the common good. | Time and again during the past vears residents of the Seatter Tract,| singly and in groups, have appeared before the Council to ask for a program of construction of a side- walk running from the Erwin Av- enue corner of the Evergreen Ceme- | tery up Evergreen Avenue to its | termination. Each time these re- jquests have been made, the Council ultimately has rejected them. In most instances, to be sure, the matter has been refefred to the Street Committee, of which Mr. Beistline is the most vociferous member, and ‘a cursory investiga- tion has been made, after which—| in every instance—the improvement propoesals have been voted down, with, of course, Mr. Beistline vot- ing “no” each time, Meanwhile, developments and improvements to the Beistline property proceed apace, with City workmen doing the job. | It is a notable fact that Mr. Beist- | Ime is not bothered by the possi-| bility of having to walk to his place | of employment—unless his tires give | out this winter—as are many other residents of the Seatter Tract. The snow and slush of the coming months, will Bot impede his -pro- ! gress, rot his shoe-leather nor| relegate him to a sick-bed with| colds and worse. He will ride, as| usual, and most of us will walk, ' without a sidewalk which we, our-| selves, would be willing to keep (‘lear‘ and safe for walking. It is possible, of course, that Mr, | Beistline personally is paying for| the work which has been and is| now being done by the city on his property but it is highly improb- able. Even if he were, the fact re- mains that the work is being done by a city crew, under supervision of the City Foreman and those workers should in mo circumstances be pul to work on pru_y:‘cls which | @ Dressy Small Hats & Sporis Styles @ Beanies IN THE NEW FALL SHADES: Legion Red, Chinese Earth, Valor Red, Kelly Green, Brown, Black, Saluta Blue, Black, Salute Blue, Navy. * Jones-Stevens Seward Street of JUNEAU, ALASKA R FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION JUST ARRIVED | Possibly Our l.asl Consignment RADIO- PHONOGRM’H COMBINATIONS for the Duration See these beautiful ‘Console Models with Automatic Record Changer for twelve 10- inch or Ten 12-inch records—Permanent Point Sapphire Needle, good for thousands of rec- ord playings withou Seven G-E Pre-Tested tifier—Builtin Beam-a- t changing needle— Tubes, including Rec- Scope—All in a cabi- net of matched Amerigan Walnut Veener and Priced at Only $169.50 If contemplating purchasing a new set this fall, we suggest you drop in and see the above model at The Alaska Eleciric Light and Power Company JUNEAU ALASKA Yngvar Strom has entered St. | Ann’s Hospital for medical care.
