 HAS EXCLUSIVE
 USE OF WHARF
The Douglas Council Gives Capt. MOrgan'S Boat Possession of Dock
 for Another Year.

DOUGLAS, Oct 1O.- The feature of last nights meeting of the city council was the reading by Mayor .O'Connor of the text of the decision of the Appellate Court in the case of the Juneau Ferry & Navigation leo. vs. the Island Ferry Co.,, effect ing the right of the latter Co the excusiye privilege of the float owned by the City of Douglas at the city dock in Douglas.
 Something like a month ago news came rom San Francisco that the Territorial courts decision had been reversed, but the text of the decis- ion of the Court of Appeals shows the report to have been in error.
 The latter court did decide, how ever. that the City Of Douglas has full authority over the float in Ques- tion but that such authority must not pass from the control of the city: also. that the city erred in surrendering its authority to the Island Ferry Company The result was that a new lease has been signed and the Island Ferry Com pany is now in exclusive and lawful possession Of the float for the period of one year under the control of the City of Douglas.
 All the members of the city coun- ell were present at the regular meet ing last night. when aside from the payment of bills amounting to $l,- 42685 little business was transacted. or the bills paid $415 was for lum- Der used in the construction of the new training department of the pub lie school and $452.5O was for coal. The city government has had a busy season and has spent considerable money but has had value for every dollar expended, all the improve ments being Of a permanent nature.

PUTTING LIFE INTO THE LIVING

WYE spent weeks and weeks after
w We a got our new house on
paper in planning the color
scheme and the wall decorations, and
in deciding Just how We could mako
our old furniture III into It's new en-
vironment, We had started out ten
years before with mission furniture
II is So satisfactory In a living room
when there are growing children-and
So We shut our eyes to the delights of

old things,
We had the woodwork stained dark
brown and a brown paper with a lighter
brown figure in II put on the walls.
The face curtains were cream scrim

ment cloth.
There we're three windows at each
end of h room, and a French window
opened on the porch at each side Of
the fireplace, So the room was very
light, but somehow, when We got this
far, we were disappointed-it wasn't
tho cheerful, cosey room We had
planned.
"i''i ''''lN us INV ViolleTn INT SOME
time we decided that II was too heavy
looking. and 80 much brown was mo-
n%otonous. 1t lacked living color. We
wished We had chosen n gay chintA
tor hangincs instead Of the plain
brown, But as we hadn't thought of
II TIL too late, We set about bringing
the rooms 10 life with the remaining
furnishings.
We bought two wide wicker chairs
and cushioned them with Cretonne In
which there were old blues, gold and
orange, with touches Of black and
white. We bought a tall wicker floor
lamp-there is nothipg that softens a
oom like wicker-and put a lining
~ the cretonne under the shade. Imade
orange shades for the side fixtures AMI
bought two or three pieces Of the bright
painted tin that Is In vogue Just now,
