GOVERNMENT READY
FOR PlsTOFF|ct DEAL
Asks Council TO Proceed With Haste
Concerning the Dedication
of Street.
COMMITTEE ACTS MONDAY.
Congressman Montague Totifies Com
mon Council That Uncle Sam is
Anxious, to go Ahead With Negou-
atoms.

At the meeting of the Committee
on Streets next Monday afternoon the
question of the dedication of fifteen
feet of the Eleventh Street thorough
fare to the United States government
for a driveway into the proposed i'm
proved postoffice building at that
point will be acted upon.
A letter from Congressman A. j.
Montague was read to the members of
Common Council last night. in which
Che congressman states that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has asked him
to urge the City Council to proceed
with the work of dedication.
Prior to the meeting in Washington
a large number of Aldermen and
CounciImen had agree TO vote for the
dedication, provided the government
officials would improve the postoffice
facilities Secretary McAdoo so UNI
derstood. and now the department
asks, through Congressman Montague.
that the city keep its part of the
agreement.
There was no debate on the ques-
ton last night. None OF the Council
men cared to express themselves. All
took the matter as a foregone conclu-
sion. and with all elements to the
fight for improved postofrice facilities
satisfied. IT Is believed the committee
will lose no time in acting favorably
upon the proposition.

ALASKA TRADE GREATER
BY RAILROAD OPERATION

Washington, March s.-Mining de-
velopment and railroad exploitation
in Alaska during the last twelve
months were responsible for an in
crease Of $12,o00.000 in the trade OF
Uncle Sans wad. according to re-
port received from the Collector of
Customs at Juneau.
The big jump in trade figures was
attributed to the large shipments of
goods and materials from the United
States, needed for extensive improve
ments projected.
Alaskan exports of placer gold are
steadily declining, 1t was announced.
The favorable trade balance of Alaska,
gradually increasing with each years
returns reached $4,000, 900 last year.
Gold and silver shipped to the
United States aggregated $4,000, 600,
almost $4,000. 900 more than was ex-
ported to this country In 1914 The
United States supplied the Alaskans

dent of parks was directed to make a

After hearing the circumstances of
the case of Otto Stetzer, an employe
of the Street Cleaning Department, he
was directed to report back to superin-
tendent when for reinstatement. His
hands had been badly frostbitten
while removing snow for the CITY, and
was compelled to lay, off. He asked
for pay for the several days he had
lost, and was directed by the board to
return to work. and report to Mr..
Cohn at once. The board also ordered
that his pay be given for the time lost.
and it is likely that he will be placed
on the payroll at $3.50 day in the
