PAGE EIGHT 'CITY AUTHORIZES §173,210.50 FOR PAVING STREETS Council Considers Rafe' Hearing, "'Infercom’- | Buys Scoopmobile | At a meeting last night which dealt with a variety of subjects, the City Council authorized a contract amounting to approximately $173- 270.50 for the paving of a number of Juneau streets. v The original bid was for $185,- 27050, but a reduction of $2 a ton has been made, for eliminating “fines” in the construction. This will reduce the cost by an esti- mated $12,000. As the cost is based on tonnage rather than specified streets, chang- s may bte made in the plans before the actual construction starts next spring. i FIRST PAVING 1 Already scheduled for surfacing are Tenth Street to the bridge, Harbor Way to West Twelfth, West Twelfth to E Street, Ninth to Cal- houn; Main from Fourth to Sev- enth, Harris to Seventh, Second to Gold, and Sixth from Harris to Ken- nedy. The street and flnance commit- tees will bring in a joint report at the next meeting, recommending additional paving for consideration of the Council, Such additional sur- facing would require a special bond issue which must be voted by the people of Juneau. . The committee’s recommendation is expected to include the greater partion of the Casey-Shattuck Ad- ditlon, portions of the Seatter Tract; Bixth Street and other streets that can be paved at the same time, The contract with C. F. Lytle Co, and Green Construction Co., Moines, Iowa, provides that ditions to the original agreement will be at-the same base rate. Members of the street committee are Councilmen James Larsen, chairman; George Jorgensen and Burr Johnson, while Johnson heads the finance committee on which also @ré Councilmen Edward Nielsen and Péte Christensen “The same group will report on additional installation of steel pipe to replace wooden salt-water mains, tp be in place before surfacing. 4 RATE HEARING Regarding the matter of the rate hearing requested at the Council meeting October 15, City Attorney Howard D. Stabler was asked to Teport on information provided by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Co., at the request of the Council. | Attorney Stabler asked C. J. Ehr- endreich to comment on his prelimi- nary analysis, from an accounting point of view, and the Council voted to retain Ehrendreich to investigate the power company’'s presentation and exhibits, and to report at the next Council meeting. Norman Banfield, attorney repre- senting the company, pointed out that a hearing is required, once the request had been filed, and men- tioned the 15 days’ notice required. He offered to cooperate with Ehr- endreich in making figures available, including those pertaining to opera- tions after November 1, when the company had to start paying higher power rates. | “INTERCOM" SYSTEM \ Frank A. Metcalf, Territorial Highway Patrol chief appeared be- fore the Council to propose that the City buy one mobile unit for an in- tercommunication telephone system, his department to buy two units, with a 50-50 share of expense should it be decided to install a master station. Each mobile unit would cost $440, plus $30 for installation, while the master stdtion costs $1,500. Bert Lybeck, street super.ntendent, reported on the sad condition of the department’s very useful scoop- ui Costumes of PAA Sfe The sunny shores of Waikiki will be less than 24 hcurs' flying from Fairbanks, when Pan American World Airways inaugurates its new Seattle-Honolulu service this Showing the extreme difference in climate, winter, Stewardess Edna Lenhar{, (right) improvised a costume for Honolulu, while Mary Ellen Runge, (left), ready for a flight to Alaska, wore her winter uniform. “The grass skirt really isn't the official PAA uniferm for our new service,” Miss Lenhart hastened to explain, “Stewardesses will wear the conventional Pan American blue suit and winged cap.” Miss Runge’s outfit, however, is the real uniform adopted by the stewardesses for flights from Seattle to Alaska during winter. Her fur-trimmed parka, ski pants and mukluks (boots) are probably the most unusual stewardess uniform of any airline. mobile, saying that better equip-| ment would be necessary of a heavy snowfall. The Council voted to purchase a new sccopmo- | ile, at an approximate cost of $3,- 700. | in case A letter from . J.
