Hall. | After consideration of a long let- ter from R. L. Sheppard of Grande & Company, investment brokers, Se- attle, asking authorization of a paying agent, and specific answers as to the amount to Le sold and the date of the issue, the Council voted |unanimously to set April 1 as the date, to name' the First National Bank, Seattle, as paying agent, and to sell all the bonds as rapidly as | possible. OFFER TURNED DOWN The council turned down Grande’s offer to purchase the bond issue outright, on a 3% percent basis, be- lieving the arrangement for the |firm to act as agent will give the {city a more advantageous agree- | ment. Grande and Cumpany also pro- poses to take over the airport issue from the two firms, Pan American Airways and Pacific Northern Air- |lines, subject to a satisfactory ar- rangement with the City. To assure this, W. Burr Johnson moved, sec- |onded by George Jorgenson that the ‘mayor be empowered to advise PAA |and PNA, through the Seattle firm, |that rents would be adjusted an- |nually after the first year, the |City to retain not more than 10 | percent profit. The motion passed | unanimously. The matter of insurance on the |new Municipal Building at the Ju- neau Airport will be taken up at Friday’s regular meeting, when sealed bids will ke opened and cov- erage arranged. PARKING METERS Due to a more advantageous agreement (for the City), an amendment was added to the con- tract for parking meters. The new rate is $10 a meter (the previous one was $11) for delivery, installation and supervision, making a total cost per meter of $75.75. The City of Juneau will retain 1{$1.00 a month per unit until the || meters are paid for, then is to re- :|ceive 25 percent of meter revenue. A petition against installation.of )| the meters was received, but the ‘| mayor and councilmen pointed out that the original contract for the 18-month trial had been signed four and a half months ago. A. B. HALL PLANS Harold (Red) Mayo was ptresent to present tentative plans for future use of the A. B. Hall top floor, which he had leased from the City. There was a long discussion of the future of the A. B. Hall itself, and of the best use to make of it; es- pecially in consideration of the re- quest from the Alaska ‘Road Com- mission to adapt some quarters for use of draftsmen on a project of some months, or a year and a half. James Larsen and George Jorgen- son were mm'l to accompany Mayor Waino E."Hendrickson for a conference with A. R. C. officials to try to work out an arrangement for the needed space, either at the A. B. Hall or in unoccupied space at the City Dock. All members of the City Council were present: W. Burr Johnson, J. A. Thibodeau, James Larsen, J. P. Christensen, George Jorgenson and Edward Nielsen. —————— ® © 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 TIDE TABLE [ izations MARCH 16 High tide, 2:20 am., 196 ft. Low tide, 9:03 am., -3.0 ft. High tide, 15:11 p.m., 185 ft.

After presenting facts pertaining to the measure, known as Senate Bill No. 533, 8lst Congress, the Post's legislative committee, repre- sented by Legionnaire Norman C. Banfield, offered a resolution in condemnation of the proposed mea- sure, and the committee’s recom- mendations were accepted Ly vote | of the membership. As set forth in the resolution, it became evident to the student of | this new proposal that Senate Bill 533 is even more objectionable to the veterans and residents of Al- aska than was H. R. 4059, intro- duced in the 80th Congress and commonly known as the Lemke | Bill. Setting forth reasons why this measure is less desirable than the one which preceded it, the commit- | tee pointed out that under this Act, the minimum of 320 acres could be | entered, whereas there are many | tracts of lesser size that would make ideal homesteads, but those would not be available. being less than the minimum size specified by the act. Maximum Acreage The maximum of 2560 acres is provided under the act, but the ccmmittee takes the position that | no one person should be allowed to | take such large areas out of public domain, as the result would be a virtual nullification oif the provis- ions of law for acquiring oil and gas leases, placer and lode claims in the areas open to homesteading under this bill. Giving a statistical resumé of other resultant effects, it was point- ed out that should the maximum areas be filed upon under this mea- sure, the development of Alaska would be retarded for years to come. Timber harvesting regulations un- der the act would be so costly as to preclude any hope of feasible operation, and it was further stated that should this bill be enacted, it would prevent for all time the com- ing of the pulp or paper industry to Alaska. Complex Administration A complex administration of the act is set up with the enforce- ment by “judicial determination,” and the resclution, as adopted, con- tinued to declare; . . . “it is in- conceivable to Alaskans that the Secretary of the Interior would ever get around to administering this Act or to enforcing any of its re- strictive provisions.” Matters dealing with trap lines according to established practices, overative by Indians, Eskimos and white, men for generations, would be disrupted, and conceivably could give title to parts of trap lines now in existence to the holder of | a 2560 acre homestead. Expressing satisfaction with the far-sighted policies of the U. 8. Forest Service with respect to its administration of timber land, the committee declared that the econ- omic development of the National| Forest areas of Alaska depend upon the continuation- of those policies, rather than upon the export of timber to the United States for processing into pulp paper and lumber. Nullify Policies Covering many other details of the proposed measure, the resolu- tion asserted that this bill would deieat and nullify the policies which have proved adaptable to the area, Embodied in the resolution as adopted by Juneau Post No. 4, was a reaffirmation of its condemna- tion of H. R. 4059 introduced in the 80th Congress, that it go on record as being opposed to any such bill as Senate 533 introduced in the 81st Congress, and that it reiterate its approval of the action of The American Legion, Department of Alaska when in the 1947 Annual | Convention the territorial body condemned H. R. 4059, 80th Con- gress. The resolution further provided that copies be furnished to the Governor of Alaska, the Delegate to Congress from Alaska, and to the Veterans Administration of the United States, calling attention to action taken throughout Alaska by civic, patriotic and Veterans’ organ- with respect to similar legislation introduced in the 80th Congress. Refreshments were served follow- ing the meeting, with Ernest Lin- coln and Robert N. Druxman on the committee, Presiding at the meeting was Post Commander Chester Zenger. - e, FROM NEBRASKA Jennie Lammers of Kearney, Nebraska, is registered at the Gas- tineau.
