but the majority of the members of the house were determined to put it through and it was passed with enthu- siasm. A greater opposition is ex- pected in the house of lords, particul- arIy because of the extraordinary tax on wine, but the example of the king, Lloyd George and Kitchener has created so strong a sentiment in the country that it is not deemed likely that the lords will dare to defeat the measure. The reason for placing under the control of the government saloons in the munitions factory dis trict is to compel sobriety among the workers and so ensure fully supply of equipment for the army.

WHAT THE LAW SAYS
 ABOUT ORDINANCES.
Cannot Be Repealed Except By the Passing of Another
 Ordinance.

Since the Gateway published the in- formation that an ordinance of the town of Seward provides for the amounts that can be legally paid in salaries to city officials much discus sion has taken place as to the right Of the present council to increase the salaries. The members of the pres ent council are not to be blamed for not knowing that such an ordinance existed, especially as the ordinance was one of the first passed after Se- ward was incorporated but it may be advisable to direct attention to what the law says on the subject This is the section of the law governing municipal governments in that respect:
 An ordinance can be repealed only by ordinance and not by resolution or order of the legislative or governing body not passed and published with the same formality of an ordinance"
 It will still, of course, be possible  for the council to pass an ordinance making the rise in salaries legal but the raising of salaries by resolution, as at the meeting last Monday, hardly appears to be legal.

ENGLISH TOWNS RAIDED
RIGGS SPEAKS
 ABOUT THE R. R.
EXCHANGE GIVES FULLER AC- COUNT OF COMMISSION
 FRS STATEMENT.

The following, taken from an ex- change, throws more light on the gov ernment's intentions with regard to the railroad construction:
 WASHINGTON, April 2O.-ThOmas Riggs, jr., member of the Alaska rail road engineering board, stated that the government proposes to open both the Matanuska coal fields and to con struct the railroad to Fairbanks. He stated also that there would be a great deal of development between Ship creek and Seward.
 "The government will start line at once from Ship creek which will tap the Alaska Northern when it is ex- tended toward the Nenana river" he said.
 Continuing, MT. Riggs said:
 "This means that there will be great development below that point and towards Seward"
 Plan To Open Boring Field
 Speaking of the Boring river coal  fields, Mr. Riggs said:
 "We will make a definite survey fr.m. Mile 3S, on the Copper River and Northwestern railway. This will pro vide the means for getting this val uable coal to the seabaord by the gov ernment line and the Copper River road to deep water at Valdez Cor dova) whence it can be shipped to the States"
 Fairbanks to Get Road
 "The people of Fairbanks need have no fear" said Mir Riggs, that the government will not extend to that place. No definite location has been fixed for the line in the Nenana river valley, because there were several routes that may be followed.
 "This summer the commission will continue its surveys from Nenana to Fairbanks with the view to submit ting an additional report to the presi- dent for the selection of road to the Yukon.
 "It is not expected that the govern ment road will be extended further than Fairbanks for the present."-Ex.

Improvement in Steel
Industry Is Reported

The Iron Age in its issue to-day re-
ports further improvement in the iron
and steel industries. Many plants are
going into service after long suspen-
sions and plants now in service are
increasing their. capacity. In part its
market summary follows:
"The drift/of the steel situation is
seen in the order given by the Car
negie Steel Company for starting up
its North Sharon, Pa, plant consisting
of six open hearts furnaces and a blast
furnace. The company is also con-
sidering putting its Bessemer steel
works at Columbus, Ohio, in operation
to supply steel to the sheet bar mill
there. The Sharon and Columbus
plants have been idle for more than
two years.
THE Steel Corporations orders are
now running about 10000 tons a day
more than its output and shipments
are nearly 10000 tons a day more
than at this time last year.
Urgent inquiries have come from
Europe for rails-200, 900 tons in all.
most of 1t for Russia. August de-
livery is wanted in part. The early
placing of 100000 tons in this coun-
try is expected. New rail business at
home is limited to 5000 tons for the
Southern, placed with the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company. The Lacka-
wanna Steel Company will roll 5000
tons for the Cuba Railway"

BUSINESS NOW BOOMS
At SPARROWS POINT
Subsidiary of Local Company Has
Enough Business Booked to
Run One Year

Considerable local interest is mani
Tested in the increasing activity at the
Sparrows Point steel plant, controlled
by the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
and the prosperity there is expected
to spread to Steelton. The marine de-
partment of the Maryland plant has
enough orders already booked to keep
it in full operation until September,
1916. II is said.
One of the reasons for the activity
in this department is accredited to the
fact that the plant holds a peculiar
record for the rapid and at the same
time finished work which they do on
ships ordered from them.
This rapidity was especially noted
in the recent launching of the Achilles,
a mammoth collier. which slipped
down the creased ways two months
ahead of contract time and finished to
the smallest detail. Several days later
the company received a congratulatory
telegram from the Navy Department
at Washington IN which they COM
mented on the finished condition of
the ship and also expressed great salts
faction over the trial trips before she
was sent to the Panama canal
At the present time the Maryland
Steel Company is engaged in the con-
struction of nine large vessels, among
them being four freighters for the
| An nerican-Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany, two freighters for the A. H. Bull
Steamship Company and two similar
freighters for the Munson Steamship
Company.
1t was learned that at the present
time the company cannot take vessel
business for delivery before Septem-
Der. 1916. and this pile of business can
only indicate one thing-that the or
| ders already booked for this depart
ment are exceptionally large.
The stock of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company has recently risen from 5
to 10 points. It is significant, then.
| that the Sparrows Point concern, con-
poration, should prosper, as most of
the contracts are let through the Penn
sylvania's headquarters.
Only Saturday the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company let an order to the
Pennsylvania Steel Company for 34,S50
tons of steel rails. 1t is understood
that these rails will be rolled at the
Maryland plant. This order is made
up of two types of rails, one weighing
100 pounds to the yard and another
| making 1875 pounds to q similar dis
tance. The latter weight is used on
tracks over which especially heavy
traffic passes. A short time ago a
marked scarcity of rail orders was
noted at the Maryland shops. This
! recent order, however will keep them
busy for some time to come.
Many who know the exact condition
OF affairs of the Pennsylvania and
Maryland concerns argue that the re-
cent decision at Trenton in favor of
the United States Steel Corporation
has worked a world of good with all
the steel industries of the country.
They point out that private concerns
showed a spirit of reluctance over
placing orders with firms said to be
violators of the Sherman antitrust law.
