PAGE SIX BUSY SESSION HELD BY CITY COUNCIL; SPECIAL MEET MON. In addition to action taken on building a fire hall, the Juneau City Council last night heard city departmental monthly reports for March, a number of complaints, passed a resolution to change four bus stops and discussed many city | housekeeping matters. The problem of storing or keep- ing the city library open was dis- cussed and it was decided to at- tempt to locate a place where it can be kept open. The only location to date has been a church base- ment, the rental of which will be $125 a month, which council mem- bers felt was excessive. A card of appreciation for the use of the AB Hall for meetings was read from the Alaska Potters. A petition from Dr. John Geyer and C. B. Holland requesting a property line determination on Dixon street before retaining wall repairs were made, was referred to the street committee. A card table license was granted to Fred Carrello of the Dreamland. Asborn T. Nygaard was denied a request to move his liquor store from 223 Admiral Way to 186 South Franklin, after a petition signed by 15 businessmen in the 186 Franklin area was read objecting to another liquor store in the vicinity. Mayor Waino Hendrickson re- ported that the Fish and Wildlife Service would vacate warehouse space now occupied in the AB Hall by May 1. Jack Manery was present and reporteq that the night watchman at the boat harbor had done a good job and requested that his services be extended another month. No ac- tion was taken on this. He -also brought up numerous other prob- lems including water for the har- bor, and access to the grid. A resolution was read and ap- proved regarding changes in four bus stops. New stops will be at Front and Seward, Front and Franklin, Franklin at Ferry Way, and First National Bank. These places will be marked accordingly. Hendrickson asked councilmen to Legin thinking about the appoint- ment of .a city assessor about May 1. Mrs. Leo Osterman appeared to request something be done about periodical water deluges at 415 Rawn Way and said large cracks were opening in the bank. This was referred to the street committee. Ralph Beistline was present and requested installation of a culvert on Park Road to check flood waters filling his basement and otherwise causing damage in that area. The street foreman was directed to check it. A special meeting will be held next Monday night to consider further moving problems, demolition bids, traffic problems, the library and other matters.

The released flares will burn out prior to reaching the ground thus eliminating any chances of starting fires, In the event of alerts April 11 through April 14 in conjunction with the Territory-wide maneuvers, the National Guard will be available for protection of critical spots in the Juneau-Douglas area. The National Guard will assemble immediately at the armory when the alert signal is sounded and will be on duty for the duration of the alert or alerts.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA NIEMI RETURNS FROM EXTENDED INTERIOR TRIP W. J. Niemi, chief of the opera- tions division of the Alaska Road Commission returned Thursday from an inspection trip which cov- ered westward and interior Alaska. Niemi left recently to survey the road situation prior to the spring break-up, and covered all the main highways, including the Glen, Richardson and Alaska highway and also the Tetling Junction-Eagle road which is in the process of River, near Cape Prince of es, for some time producing about 109 tons per year. They have ed a certificate of neces- sity the Defense Minerals Ad- ministration to install a mill to mine Jode tin. Ruilding of the mill is to start immediately, On completion of the mill it is estimated that about 100 tons of ore will be produced a day during the first year, with 30 to 40 men employed. The coming two yenrs» will see increased production and employment. This section of the Seward Pen- insula is the only place on the North American continent, or un- der the American flag, where tin is produced. Concentrates are shippec Lost now obt construction to connect Eagle with the Alaska highway and Dawson, b He reports that the roads gener- ally, are in excellent shape for the coming break-up but it was felt by ARC that certain restrictions will have to be enforced for three or four weeks, Truck loads will be cut below the maximum at priesent allowed, and it may be possible that all truck travel will be elim- inated for a short time as was the case on the Alaska highway last year. Niemi said that truck travel over the Alaska highway has been very heavy until the past week or two when the Canadian government clamped restrictions on sections of the road in Canada which had an earlier break up than in Alaska. Thompson Pass on the Richard- son highway, he reported, is in good shape and the time of year is now practically over when any trouble in traveling it should be encountered. He inspected the Glen highway and then went up the Richardson highway as far ag it is open, a few miles this side of Paxson. From Paxson Niemi went to Tet- ling Junction and then up over the new road construction to the south fork of the Forty-Mile river, the end of transportation. This road, when completed this year, will con- nect Eagle with'the Alaska highway and Dawson. He went down the Forty-Mile for a distance of about 40 miles where crews are freighting road and bridge material over the river ice in preparation for spring operations. He said road contractors on all the interior roads are now begin- ning operations and everything points to the possibility of a very early start on roadwork this spring. GETS FIRST DMA to the company’s own smelter in Seattle. Previously they were shipped to Texas, then the only tin smelter in the U. S, but when a new system of extracting the ore was discovered, which produced & finer grade tin, U. S. Tin Corpor- ation built the Seattle smelter. Be- fore World War II, the company sent its tin to Singapore to be smelted, as the Texas plant was not then in existence. The company, under its new op- erations of lode mining, will employ local help in that area. Since 1904, Sundborg said, four million pounds of tin have been exported from Alaska.

Powell, 4, holds his two-week-old baby sister in the charred doorway of their home after he saved the baby's life as fire destroyed the family home at Sweetwater Tex. A kerosene stove exploded in the room where the children were playing and as Del- bert explained it, “It went pop, pop, nd smoke and fire went ev- erywhere.” He lifted the baby from her crib and carried her through the burning room into the yard where his grandmother and brother and sister were. The loss of home and possessions has a tragic familiarity to the family. Three and a half years ago, a gas stove exploded in another resi- dence where they lived, burning ' the house and killing Mr. Powell. ® Wirephoto.
