Plans drawn up by the city en- gineer were presented a recent UTA meeting, which, if passed by the territorial board, will accommodate from 10 to 15 boats, with all piling and timbers to be creosoted. Fishermen also ask an electric meter system for light and heat. Cost of these improvements will come from the fuel tax paid to the territory by the fishermen for har- bor purposes, it is said. City taxpayers have supported the small boat harbor several years, |at a cost of some $50,000. Southeast Alaska has benefited greatly from fuel tax money, with prospects good for Juneau harbor to benefit greatly in the future. The committee consists of Carl Weidman, O. G.
