That 19-mill rate is expected to bring in more than two‘ hundred thousand dollars; due to a | half-million dollar increase in val- uation of properties in Juneau. The | remaining large chunk of the budget | is to be met from fines, rentals, | back taxes, school and liquor re-| funds and other miscellaneous sources of municipal revenue. In; addition, $50,000 set up in the budget | allows for bank loans already se- cured to tide the town over till the new taxes roll in; it's already re- | ceived and spent along with about ' $30,000 more that the present ad-| ministration already has received | from various sources including tardy | taxes from last year. $140,000 Written Off The total adjusted assessment of all property that came out of the Board of Equalization sessions 1§ $10,777,816.61. The equalizers wrote off just under $140,000 from the re- past six weeks in Juneau and vi- cinity checking data relative to timber areas and possible sites for a pulp mill. The technical work of Mr. Mullen’s investigations was done by Mr. James Ivers of Salt Lake City, a prominent engineer of that city who came north with Mr. Mullen for that purpose. “I have been unable to find any technical difficulties to the estab- lishment of this industry in South- east Alaska,” Mr. Mullen stated, “and economically, I believe the times are favorable to pushing it to| a successful conclusion. Capital is somewhat hesitant about entering the Alaskan field inasmuch as the/ ultimate title to raw materials and power sits is retained by the gov- ernment and their use merely par- celled out on a lease basis; but I do not consider these objections in- surmountable. The U. S. Forest Service has shown its willingness time and again to make workable leases and undoubtedly satisfactory working arrangements between the department and the new industry can be worked out. {1 -am deeply grateful to Mr. B. | Frank Heintzleman and his staff in !the Farestr Service for the cooper- port turned in by Assessor Felix | 8@ion and the assistance they have Toner. given me in the investigations just Although details of the City,slconcluded: also to the many local financing had already been preny:cnizens who have supplied me with well threshed over behind closed | doors, Councilman James Larsen’s| move to set the tax rate at 19 mills | ran into opposition from holdover | Councilman Stan Grummett, who | pegged to retain the rate at the 20- | mill maximum on the ground thnt“ it ‘would be good policy to end the | year with a bit of surplus that would | help to cut down on bank loans— | and their interest charges—needed | to tide over the next Council. Although sympathetic to Grum- mett's aim, the Mayor held that it’s " too much to expect to accomplish | everything in one year, This ad- | ministration, he said, has inherited | a lot of extra expense and if they can be caught up that should be valuable information and shown great interest in my efforts to bring| this industry to our district.” Mr. Mullen said his present plans called for his return from New York to Juneau about the first of the year.

Elias, they had planted the Amer- ican flag at the summit of Alas-| ka's second highest mountain.

St. Elias’ formidable apex, the party carried no luxury items. When the Duke made the trip early in the century, he carried along iron bed-} steads, feather pillows, and 100 porters and guides. The Duke ap-| proached the mountain from the! Canadian side. The American | group went up along the Amerx-‘ can side, symbolically enough.

Beall of Juneau. Although parents and older friendy were much in evidence, the small fry dominated the scene. Sharing in the birthday cake and pink ice cream were Donna Lee Gould, Bruce Gould, Roy Clouse, Sharon Wise, David Wise, Joann Erbland and Chuck Crossman. .- REPORTER VISITS Mrs. Muriel Lomen, Federal Court Reporter in Fairbanks, arrived here yesterday from Seattle and is the house-guest of -Miss Mildred May- nard. She plans to leave by PAA for Fairbanks today. HOSPITAL NOTES St. Ann’s Hospital admitted the following patients yesterday: Rich- ard Larson, Capt. Ole Ansen, Lawr- ence Lewis and Mrs. Earl Bost. Dismissed from St. Ann's yester- day were Gaylord Westby, Bill After leaving Juneau June 12, the expedition went to Yakutat by, plane. Greeted there “royally” by the city fathers and general pub- lic, the party found itself surround- | ed by enthusiastic well-wishers. To Yakutat the kingly Mt. St. Elias is a point of personal pride, and the climbers were furnished trans- portation, gear, special invitations to dinner, introductions, etc, with! hespitable aplomb. In that village the meuntaineers met an old Indian guide who had packed for the Duke | of Abruzzi party, and were intro- duced to John Sorenson of the Libby Canning Company, who pro- vided them with a pleasant stay| in Yakutat. Another Yakutat resident the four mountaineers mentioned par- ticularly was the Rev. Stanley Ben-| son, whose hospitality and warm- hearted greetings are well remem- bered. ‘Then, after four days of getting their packs arranged and taking| care of other preparations, they were off to Icy Bay from Yakutat, in a 40-foot boat. Through 60 miles of rough icyl water, often dotted with ice floes,| the climbers admit “the going was| tough.” At one point the skiff was lost and the party had to ro- trace the route, locate the skiff, and| secure it once again to the boat.

He told them that “we will do everything in our power to help‘ solve your problems but you will, have to help yourself at the same | time.” “I don't know of any other part of the country,” he said, “where mari ' has a better chance than here. 1y look forward to a period of gruw(h.; development, and prosperity in Al- | aska that will be unequalled in| development in any other part of our country.” Krug planned to tour Matanuska Valley points today, followed by a | trip to the Mount McKinley Na- ! tional Park and an inspection of | installations there.
