wrought iron pipe, of larger diane ter.
 (3) The water mains have been extended to the new residential sec tion, lying west of the business sec tion, with a circulating system throughout this section.
 (4) A Gamewell fire alarm sys tenn has been installed.
 (5) A complete and comprehensive high pressure salt and fresh water system, to be used for fire fighting purposes only. and not connected with the system, for domestic pur-- poses, :s now being installed. This system forms a part of the fire pro lection plant of the Alaska Juneau Mining Company and salt water to be used when fresh water is not available will be furnished from the central pumping plant of the Alaska Juneau Mining Company. This sys- tenn will fully cover the business section and also residential section on the higher levels to north of the business section.
 (6) A LaFrance (type 12 La France combination chemical fire en- zine and hose motor car, with jun for pump attachment, $50 gal. capac- ity at 120 ID. pump pressure) fire engine and truck have been ordered by the city, and will be delivered prior to May 1st of this year.
 CD In the congested business sec ton there have been constructed several concrete buildings, which break the long ranges of frame build ings in several places.
 We furnish you herewith, in fur ther support of our contention, and in explanation of the above sum- marized statements, the following:
 (a) Map of Juneau, showing salt and fresh water protection system now under construction.
 (b) Statement of fire department, covering the period from Sept. 29th, 1914, to the present time: Total number of fire alarms, 102; total loss from fires, $2,963.O0; the largest sin gle loss, $500.OO; second, $475.O0.
 Co Statement of observer of IL. s. Weather Bureau, as to climatic conditions of Juneau, under separate cover
 (d) Rates in business section av- craze 5A per cent
 (e) Rates in residential section average i 15-100 per cent.
 We contend that in view of the changed conditions, as above out lined that Juneau is entitled to a very substantial reduction. in spite of the number of buildings. which may have been erected, in the past four years.

INSURANCE RATES SHOULD DROP
 IN JUNEAU
City Council Committee Prepare Reasons Why and Will Send to
 Underwriters.

The special committee appointed by the City Council some days ago to take steps in an effort to get a of Juneau, made report to the city council the other night and was ordered to forward it to the Board of Underwriters at San Francisco. The committee consisted of Council men King, Ericson and Mckanna.
 A special map of the city, show ing the location of the water reser- voirs, all fresh water mains in the city with their size and capacity, the salt water fire system, all fire hydrants, both salt and fresh, and the location of the fire alarm boxes was prepared for the committee by Frank Sargent and will be forward ed with the report. The map is a most comprehensive one and covers all phases of the fire fighting system of Juneau
 The report prepared by the com mittee and addressed to the Board of Underwriters at San Francisco, is as follows:
 The Council of the City of Ju- neau. Territory of Alaska, at meet ing held March 18th, 1917, appointed the undersigned as committee Gall members of the CounciD to call to your attention the prevailing high rates, for fire insurance, in Juneau. After a thorough investigation, the Council is convinced that substan- tial reduction, in rates, should be granted by the companies represent ed by your board. In order that the unfairness of the present rates may be more definitely demonstrated. the Council instructed this committee to request that you furnish compara- tive statement showing the relative amounts paid for premiums during the past ten years. by holders of rsclicies issued by companies you rep resent, and covering risks in Juneau, and also the losses paid during the same period. This infOrmatioq we hope will be promptly furnished so that it may be used, if called for, by our representatives at meetings of the committees of the Alaska Legislature, which is now in session
 In support of our contention we call to your attention the following improvements, which have been re- gently made and are being made, in the fire protection systems of Ju- |neau.
 u) The storage capacity of the reservoirs, of the fresh water sys- tenn. supplying the city with water. has been increased from total of 2O0.0 900 gallons to 1,000.o00 gallons.
 (z) The water mains of the above system. have been replaced, where |same were defscttve. with new stee

ANOTHER RAID ON LONDON
BY GERMAN A|RPLANES
Several Attacks Made, and Bombs
Dropped in Northeast and
Southeastern Districts.
no REPORTS OF CASUALTIES
Machines Cross Coasts OF Kent and
Essex In Groups Early In Evening,
According to Official Announce
ment by Homo Office.
tBy Associated Press.l

| LONDON, September 2s.-Hostlle air
planes raided London again tonight
| An official communication from tho
Homo ONCE on the latest raid says:
Hostile airplanes crossed the coasts
of Kent and Essex in groups between
8 and o'clock. Several attacks were
made upon London, and some bombs
were dropped IN the northeast and
southeastern districts. Bombs were
also dropped at various places In Kent
and Essex. No reports of casualties
have yet been received"
London's warning of an Impending
raid was given quickly by policemen
riding through tho streets with take
cover signs on their breasts, and
every one hurried to shelter. Soon
the distant roar of guns was heard
Then the explosions Of guns and the
crack Of shrapnel-bursting shells in
the night was incessant. From all d.
| rections the defense guns doomed
Mingled with the sound of tho guns.
the whirring of Gothas was heard
overhead. Bombs began to drop, as
could be told by their peculiar ex-
plosion. The fro and the antiaircraft
guns seemed heavier than on any pre-
vious raids. and it was obvious that
baIraGes were being thrown up to
defeat the purpose Of the raiders. AT
this time II appears that the barrages
at least prevented the raiders from
having their own way.
During the raid. the staccato rattle
of machine guns high in tho air. was
evidence that tho raiders were being
holly engaged by the British flyers.
In the brilliant moonlight. civilians
who ventured to look up were unable
10 see anything OF the machines. al
though they could hear directly over
head the whirr Of the engines. In
another hour the guns were roaring
III the distance, and then they ceased
entirely.
