BAND CONCERT TO BE GIVEN
 TOMORROW EVE
Juneau Band Men Will Break MonOtony-Are Trying for Funds
 for a Series.
MERCHANTS BACKWARD

Tomorrow evening, weather per- hitting, Juneau's independent band will give an open air concert on the grounds of the Governors office on Fourth ands Main. This place has been chosen owing to the great opportunity it affords for the masses to be able 10 congregat- and listen to the. seductiveness of music and to be inspired by the martial airs.
 Incidentally the band boys are trying to secure funds for series of concerts on the down town streets. These funds are not for the maintenance of the band boys, but simply to defray the expenses of se- curing new music and remmerat-
 ing those who must must Hay off for rehoarsals. Bandmaster Jones has figured it out that the four concerts can be given at various times for Che small sum of a trille over S1OO. The more progressive Ju- ncau merchants and business men have already subscribed literally 10 this fund but there is one class of business men who have failed Co appreciate tine value of concerts and this class would realize more than the others from such a depart ure.
 Juneau has a good band. All the boys are working at other occupa- tions but for the past few months they have been rchearsing twice each week at the fire hall becom- ing prepared for concerts. There are some of the band boys who must Hay or during the rehearsaIs and in order that they do not lose a small portion of the sum Leader Jones is trying raise for concerts will be used in paying Che men who musts have a substitute while they are rehcasing.
 Mr. Jones is to make another ef- fort to raise the full sum of $1OO within a few Gays and if he is not successful there will be no street concerts The concert tomorrow night is given by the boys to arouse some enthusiasm and create a great er degree of appreciation.

DOUGLAS MUST EXTEND CTS
 SEWER SYSTEM
Rapid Growth Demands a More Complete Way to Accommodate New
 Additions.
TAX LEVY IS DEFERRED

DOUGLAS, Aug. S.-That the rap lid growth and substantial develop ment of Douglas are such as to de- mand more complete sewage system than at present exists was che con census of opinion at the meeting of the city council last night. Not but .that the present system is equal to that of any similar sized town in 'the territory. but that it is be- coming inadequate to accommodate the rapidly increasing demands which are crowding its capabilities, New houses are rapidly going up, especially in the northern portion of the town and to meet their wants the sewage system must be extended in sycral directions.
 The fixing of tax levy was again deferred last night until an estimate of the needs of the city for the ensuing year can be made. It was agreed. however, that not less than ten thousand dollars will be required to maintain the school at its present high and efficient standard. As room for manual training is required. it was sug- gested that. with 30 little improve ment. the basement Of the school buiding could be used for that purpose. No definite conclusion was rcached.
 Complaint having been made con corning alleged lack or interest in his duties on the part Of the fire chief. it was ordered by the com- cu that a report be submitted by him Go Che council at its first meet ing each month.
 Bills amounting Co $1OS2 were ordered paid.
