Confer With City Officials
on Garbage Disposal Plan

NJ. b. Litch, borough chemist. and
William Callaghan, borough engineer
representing Steelton, this afternoon
met in conference with DR.. Raunfck,
OF Harrisburg, to discuss the plan of
garbage disposal, according to a
councilman. The purpose of the con-
ference the borough official said, was
to irluire into the plan that Harris
burg has adopted. Steelton has been
compelled to work out a plan to dis
pose of, its refuse being unable to get
any dumping grounds. 1t is likely,
the councilman said, that some def
mite action will be taken at the meet
ing of council next week when the
report of the committee is made.

HOT CAMPAIGN IN
 CANADA EXPECTED

OTTAWA, Nov. 27.-Robert Bor- den's union government will go to the polls on December 17 with op- position in fully 95 per cent of the 235 constituencies in the nine pro- vinces of the Dominion governs ment.
 With the list of nominations com plete, with the exception of some outlying counties, it is indicated that the supporter of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, or some other section of the opposition, have found a standard bearer in nearly every riding. The seats which go by exclamation are very few and they include eight in Quebec province-all Liberal and giving support to Sir Wilfrid and the anticonscriptionist program.
 Triangular and four-eornered contests are made in several in- stances, and the whole aspect of the nominations promises a month of warm election campaigning before the balloting takes place.

 AGAIN IN TROUBLE

DOUGLAS, Nov. 27.-Alex Shu- makoff and John Judd were released only week ago for the Juneau Federal jail after serving sentences for booze peddling, but they are again in custody charged with the same offense.

FISH BUYING INDUSTRY STARTED LAST SUMMER
 EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 27.-The busi- ness of the Alaska Coast Fish com pany, that of buying, packing and exporting fish from Douglas, has ex- ceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions of the promoters of the enter prise according to statement made last night before the city council by Manager c. P. Morgan, who an nounced that, during the little over five months his concern has been engaged in business, upwards of half a million pounds of fish have been purchased, packed and shipped. Al so, that owing to their limited space for handling large consignments of fish, something over 100000 pounds had been turned away during the summer and fall.
 It was for the purpose of secur- ing from the council additional space at the wharf that MT. Morgan was present last night, and is was the unanimous expression of the council that he be given a lease on suffic- tent area to permit of the enalrge- ment of the floor space of the fish house to 60 by 100 feet, it being apparent, from the manner in which the business had enlarged since it was started that fully that much space can be occupied next season.
 MT Morgan will leave for the south on the Jefferson today for the purpose of arranging for ex- tending his operations at this place. He also urged the council the i'm portance of offering inducements to some practical machinist to estab- fish a repair shop and cradle for small boats at this place and the council agreed to give a competent man free building site for that purpose. Morgan will endeavor to interest a machinist in the proposi. tion while in Seattle

 It was the late lamented Horace Greeley. who said: 'If you only have a dollar, spend it like a prince" And that is the view now taken by the city council in regard to the pub lie school. Trustees Sergeant and Gallwas appeared before the council last night and urged that the school board be permitted to extend it's credit" to the further amount of $1,310.65, they having a crying need for that amount. While the city also has few crying demands" that refuse to be stilled, it was fi- nally voted to come across to the school board with the amount de- sired, the same to be in the nature of a loan. The matter was dis cussed for more than an hour, dur ing which time a strong Taku wind, not to be outdone, began to circu- late.
 An affidavit from P H. Fox rela- tive to his assessment was read and filed.
 The old Gilligan house on Fourth street was condemned and will be razed.
 A petition for a light at the north end of Second street and another for a light near the Native school building on the beach were referred to the street committee.
 The business transacted by the wharf during the two weeks that had elapsed since the previous meet ing was reported as being $1,374.30.
 Bills to the amount of 4,772.S0 were ordered paid, leaving $2,647 in the treasury.
 Taxes to the amount of $5,338.05 have been collected, about 80 per cent. of the total assessment The city has 560 tons of coal in the cellar.
