Back in Seattle, the Mayor saw Mr. Gray, but the latter declared himself ineligible as he had already made an ap- praisal, in 1937, for the Alaska Electric Light & Power Co., of its properties. However, Mr. Gray recommended another engineer, offender to $100 fine or 30-day whom he considers qualified for jail term, or both.

The budget submitted last evening also shows minor increases in clerk's salary, textbooks, fuel, and health examinations. Decreases are made in allotments for building and equipment maintenance, wh‘lch; are paid for entirely by the city. ‘The City’s School Board Directors added to the council’s file on pro- posals for postwar developments with a list of 21 projects to be undertaken when feasible. Holding top position on the board’s roster of wanted projects is construction of the much-discussed pedestrian tunnel from Sixth Street Evergreen Bowl, to make the play- ground facilities there available for school use. The board also asked| for prompt action tpward acquiring | a suitable site in the Gold Creek| section for a new school building to accommodate the six lowest grades. Most of the remajning 19 proposals concerned additions and improvements to the present school buildings. No Dock Solution The anticipated report on the solution of the disagreement be- tween the city and the Northland Transportation Company concerning rental rates on'the City Dock prop- erties was not forthcoming last evening. City Attorney Howard D. Stabler stated that George E. Cleveland, selected as the third member of the arbitration commit- tee, had not yet come to a decision; that Northland Representative R. E. Robertson tinuance of the former $300 per month rental, while Mr. Stabler, acting for the city, had put for- ward the $500 per month figure | originally set by the council. The council passed in first read- ing a new Health and Sanitation Ordinance to replace the out-dated Ordinance No. 110. The proposed new ordinance, presented by Coun- cilman Don Skuse, incorporated findings of the Inspection Commit- tee appointed for Clean-up Week. It would bring up-to-date most of the provisions of the old ordinance and " provides in more specific into | 'with owners of the Baranof Hotel had proposed con- | |coverage among the several insur- ance agents in Juneau. Councilman Harry Lea pointed | {out that he is a member of the| Finance Committee but had not been notified of the meeting at which that action with regard to | insurance had been decided upon. _ The question of setting a schedule of vacations for city employees |came up for discussion by the jcouncil when that body was asked [to vote its approval of reimbursing | Police Chief John Monagle for 26| ;days of extra duty during the! previous year. Payment to the | Police Chief was approved. New Curb Line At Baranof Permission was also voted to the Street Committee to negotiate to secure title in the city to all property extending into Second land Franklin Streets beyond a pro- posed re-located curb-line around |the hotel property. The change in |curb location is made necessary by additions contemplated by the hotel to its first storey. At the time the |hotel was built, the city did not |secure title to all street areas ad- | Jacent to it. | The Street Committee was like- \wise authorized to allow a sewer connection to Emmett Connor ad- jacent to the Anna Winn property on Gold Street, between Fifth and Sixth Streets; with easement filed from Mrs. Winn to cross her property. The council voted to hold to the previously established policy of al- lowing no additional liquor licenses in Juneau and denied an applica- {tion by J. D. Dadoff for a retail |license at 477 South Franklin Street. 1 Mayor Reports | Mayor Parsons had little progress to report at last evening's meeting on his campaign for civic acquisi- tion of Juneau's public utilities. A fcommunicntion from Burns and | McDonald, appraisal firm favored by the mayor, was read, stating by the Juneau Chamber of Com- merce. Again the Mayor counseled result that the matter was referred to the Finance Committee to re- submit it at the next meeting, ac- companied by the exact wording of the Chamber of Commerce amendment. New Patrol. Truck Out A request for mew tires to be purchased for the Police Patrol brought further disclosure from Mayor Parsons that while in Seattle he had been unable to find avail- able a suitable truck to replace the worn-out vehicle now being oper- ated by the police. He said he had been advised, however, that two or three months more should see proper types of trucks available on the city’s priority. With that picture in mind, the council okayed the tire purchase. A communication from the Of- fice of Price Administration, ad- vising the city's securing a street magnet to pick up nails, etc., in order to protect tires, was held up for investigation. Similarly dealt with was Territorial Health Com- missioner C. C, Carter's request that the city increase its annual contribution toward the Public Health Nursing Service, from $1,600 to $2,000.
