Wyller an- nounces preliminary work will be- gin Monday for paving from the West end of the bridge to Douglas. The Bureau of Roads accepted a contract Thursday from Hayes and Whitely, local construction men, to pave 1.8 miles at a cost of $184,795.; The contract calls for the work to be completed in 160 calendflrl days. Paving on the 85 miles of road fo the airport was inspected and accepted officially yesterday. Con- tract price for the job was $563,- 043.70; contractors were C. J. Lytle Company and Green Con- struction Company of Sioux City and Des Moines, Iowa. Work was begun April 20 but was delayed by rain. The airport road paving job is the first time hot-mix asphaltic- concrete surfacing has been used on roads in the Territory, Wyller| says. He pointed out that the surfac- ing is less expensive than concrete and has proved its durakility all over the United States. 1 He emphasized that law forbids the use of the road by vehicles with cleated or lugged wheels. Hot-plant asphaltic-concrete will also be used to surface the Doug- las road, he said. | ‘The Cardinal Club will give a dance in the Catholic Parish Hall on Monday evening, beginning at 10 o'clock.

Trailing 3-7 going into the last of the ninth, the Seals erupted for lhve runs, Jackie Tobin supplying !a triple with bases loaded to tie it up. He then slid home on Dario Lodigiani’s fly to center, winning the game, 8-7. Milo Candini, who relieved Char- ley Gassaway, was the victim of the| final punch. Con Dempsey, touched for 13 hits, went the route for his 16th win, Hollywood was spilled by Los Angeles, 8-5, for the third time in four nights. A five-run barrage against Jack Salveson in the fifth sewed it up. Bryan Stephens was the winner. The Stars’ margin re-| mained two games over the second- place Oaks. Third-place Sacramento also obliged by bowing to-Portland, 5-3, staying three games off the pace. Hal Saltzman racked up his 18th {victory with a six hitter. On Allie Clark’s home run, San| Diego edged Seattle 1-0 in their| battle for fourth position. Red Adams’ three hitter was too much for the Rainiers.

Here is subject matter for pon- dering, while enjoying the last weekend of August, 1949: “How shall T vote on Tuesday?” Juneau voters will be asked to determine the length of term for both mayor and councilmen. A vote of “Yes” on the first pro- posal will be for a two-year term for mayors. A vote ot “No" wil be for a one-year term. Should the second proposal carry, Council members will be elected in staggered terms until 1951, in or- der to arrive at annual election of terms. Failure of this proposition will mean one-year terms for all coun- cilmen. For the special election, the en- tire city of Juneau will constitute a voting precinct; all ballots will be cast in the Council Chambers | of the City Hall. The present City Council could have let the matter slide, in which case one-year terms would have been the answer. % The esix councilmen were unani- mous in believing the choice should be put to the voters. “I hope,” said Mayor Waino Hendrickson this morning, %‘that every registered voter will express his preference Tuesday. Casting a ballot takes only a couple of minutes, but the decision is an im- portant one in municipal govern- ment.” Tuesday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p. m, , Council Chambers. Two Arkansas women have beeni charged with beating inmates and keeping them on bread and water at a girls' reformatory near Ben- ton, Arkansas. A grand jury has indicted Mrs. Fanny Goodman, the superintendent of the Arkansas Girls Training School, and a former head matron at the school, Mrs. Carrie Toland of Little Rock.
