B. HALL SITE “A ve satisfactory exploratory meeting,” is the report of Mayor Waino Hendrickson, on last night's closed session in the Council| Chambers, The Juneau City Council, as a committee of the whole, met with the subcommittee of the Territorial | Board of Administration to discuss the possibility of the city turning over the A.B. Hall site for the new Territorial . Building authorized by the 19th Legislature. “The subcommittee,” commented Mayor Hendrickson, “was charged, to select a site for the building, but was not authorized to take definite action. However, the members went thoroughly into the needs, and re- acrted what they had done, and what sites had been investigated. “They were made aware of some of the City’s problems,” he contin- ued, “and everyone felt that a ketter understanding had been| reached all around. Now the com- | mittee must report back fo the Board.” The Mayor was asked to write a letter to the Board, outlining the City’s position and problems in the matter. “If the Board still is interested , in the A. B. Hall, site,”” said Mayor Hendrickson, “we doubtless will re- ceive a definite proposition. That will be the time for action on our part.” Members of the Administration Board subcommittee are the Trea urer of Alaska, the Attorney Gen- eral and the Highway Engineer. e MORE MONEY FOR UNEMPLOYED UNDER MEASURE ENACTED Unemployed workers eligible for unemployment insurance will re- ceive more money for a shorter length of time if they have depen- | dents as a result of a measure pass- ed by the recent session of the legislature.

McLaughlin, head of the i Unemployment Insurance Division of the Unemployment Compensation | Commission, said that total maxi- | mums payable to one worker have) not been upped. 1 More money, according to ;the Aumber of dependents, will be paid i for a shorter period of time. For, example, he explained, an increas- | ed amount oi unemployment insur- ance would be paid for a 15-week period, instead of. the 25 week | period. Twenty per cent of the prime in- surance amount will be added for each dependent up to a maximum of three dependents allowable, Mc- Laughlin said. The measure will be effective for | benefit claimants after July 1. i D MINISTERIAL GROUP | MEETING TOMORROW A meeting of the Juneau Minis- terial association will be held Thursday, at 10 am,, in the Metho- dist church.
