He is 2lso the man who is likely to let the Republicans steal the show when it comes to protecting the public on price-gouging. Astute Sen. Joe O'Mahoney, Wy- oming Democrat, put his finger on this when he called Secretary Sny- der on the phone regently, “I'm haying a meeting of brain- trusters from here and there to tak over an excess-profits tax,” O'Mahoney told the man who is supposed to advise on and help originate tax legislation. “I'd be glad to invite you to sit} in with us, John, but I don't thnk, you'd be much help on an excess- profits tax.” What O'Mahoney knew was that Secretary Snyder has been pulling against any stiff excess-profits tax, despite the fact that this proved the most efficient means of both holding down prices and financing | the last war.

' DOUGLAS NEWS CITY BOND IS Douglas property owners turned out yesterday and voted almost unanimously to issue City Bonds in the amount up to $29,500 to com- plete sewage and water, streets and improvements up to the southeast portion of the city. This sum wil] be matched by an equal amount of Federal funds provided by the Alaska Public Works Act, formerly General Services Facilities. Bids were let recently to the Haye: and Whitely, Construction Co., for slightly over $52,000 for the comple- tion of the project which includes extending the water and sewer mains and surfacing Fifth Street, down Treadwell Street from Knob Hill and back on St. Ann's Avenue. | Two new streets will be opened to fifth from St. Ann’s Avenue, which will-be Anderson and Hansen | Streets. | Five fire hydrants will be placed ' on Fifth and two additional ones on St. Ann's Avenue. The residents in this area have previously had either poor or inad- equate service during the winter months, and several were not con- nected with the main water and sewer system. The City of Douglas expended over $12,000 of city funds on Fifth Street last year, clearing underbrush, and laying street lines and some water and sewer mains, in anticipation of additional housing to be erected | there. | Work on the project should hel started by next week according to] City Clerk A. J. Balog. Of the 78 property owners turning | out on election day, 73 voted favor- | able with five voting against the| bond issue.
