WIRING BIDS AT BOAT HARBOR ARE T0 BE DISCUSSED| = | Estimates Are Submitted fo Council-Dredging of Bar Taken Up af Meeting n bids for equipment to wire the Small Boat Harbor were opened at s night's City Council meet- ing, members learned that the ori- | ginal off-hand estimate of some $4,000 to $6.000 may be doubled Bids submitted by Alaska ric and Power Com Electric Company Service Shop. All were listed in the eleven items specified by the City Engineer and totals were in the $10.000 bracket The Council voted to have aj spe meeting Monday evening to ¢o over the items thoroughly and discuss possible changes that could bring the project closer to the original figur The City Engineer and representatives of the three companies were especially asked to attend Several other specified will also be considered A resolution drawn up by City vy Howard D. Stabler was d, advicating action in the mat- ter of dredging Mendenhall Bar in Gastineau Channel. This resolution will be made available as a model to groups wishing to add their voices in Cengressional and Terri- torial circles. ' Although Attorney Stabler's re-! search turned up an interesting set of facts and figures to reml’urcoi the appeal to make Gastineau Chan- : nel navigable for its length, other groups may well support their needs ; by other evidence, equally pointed. The preject was approved lwu; years ago, but apparently has been “shelved.” Two representatives of the United Trollers of Alaska went back to their Local 100 with a copy of the City's resolution, planning to send similar ones. Ralph Mortensen and Red Will- iams were the trollers’ spokesmen in thanking the Juneau Council for the proposed Boat Harbor wir- ing, and in suggesting several oth- er improvements. Chief of these would be continu- ation of the fill from behind the airplane hangars out to the red light, a change which would offer many advantages. They also sug- gested similar barrier on the other side from the dolphin holding the green light to prevent drift irom entering the harbor. ( The trollers urged posters on dol- phins to lessen the excessive speed of some craft using the harbor, and enforcement of the regulation prohibiting owners from leaving unwatched fires. Russell Maynard, director of the Territorial Department of Welfare and Miss Alice Brandebury, di- rector of the Division of Social Services, attended the meeting to urge again the City's participation in hiring a child welfare worker. A Council commiittee will meet again with them. The Council heard the first read- | ing of Ordinance 326, providing | for the issuance and sale of bonds | for the $260,000 of added paving | voted by Juneau taxpayers an-; uary 11. Among the many matters taken up was that of safety on Juneau streets, and Mayor Waino Hen- drickson was asked to see the own- ers of the Triangle Building with a | view to putting a pipe handrail around the corner where the side- walk slats steeply. Mayor Hendrickson presided, and five of the six Councilmen were ! present: Members J. P. Christen- | sen, George Jorgenson, W were E. Light pany, Parsons and the Electric matters | a W.

The story in the official Com- munist paper mentioned that Soviet Ambassador Alexander S. Panyush- kin was present The President’s speech has not been published nor commented on so far. Neither Izvestia, govern- ment newspapers, nor Trud, the Soviet trade union newspaper, car- ried any news of the inauguration A Washington dispatch in Trud told of 5000 persons demonstrat- ing for civil rights. Other dis- patches from the U. S. reported the trial of American Communist lead- ers.
