WOULD WORK U. s.
 PRISONERS ON ROADS

Marshal H. L. Faulkner appeared before the city council at last nights session and addressing that body ask ed the cooperation of the city to the end that the Federal prisoners might be worked on the public highways leading from Juneau. He stated that he had taken the matter up with the Department of Justice but that it would aid him much in getting the de- sired result if the city would coop crate. The custodian of the Federal prisoners stated that the Federal jail had entirely too many prisoners and that men were encouraged to become inmates because they had m easy hy- ing up there. but that he believed that it was not good for the prisoners nor for the community for them to be idle. He had read in The Empire, he said, an appeal to the merchants of Juneau from the Nelson stage manager, ask ing help on the Sheep creek road and he thought this would be good place for his charges to do some wholesome work.
 Councilman J. B. Marshall was dl- rected to prepare a suitable resolution embodying the sense of the city coun- cil in favor of working the Federal prisoners on the government roads leading out of Juneau and to present the same to Marshal Faulkner.

SPRING BUILDING
 SEASON OPENING

The first week of March witnessed Q marked advance in building activity, especially in making preparations for vigorous prosecution of work In that line. The most important building, perhaps, is the big, handsome, con crete structure for the Goldstein Inn provement company, which Is to be- come the home for the Goldstein stores when completed. Next, is the new St. Ann hospital building, the foundations of which were laid last fall Opera tions have already started on this structure under the supervision of Ed. Ellingeu.
 Chief interest to the greatest num- Der. however. Is centered in the con struction of dwelling places. Strange enough, for the class of buildings in most demand, the least activity Is ap- parent. John Beck is preparing to build a handsome apartment house in one of the choicest residence sec tions of the city. There are several cabins and small houses nearing com pletion along the waterfront, between the Pacific Coast dock and Aux village. Men who are interested in real estate say that there will be manw dwelling houses erected in early spring.
