Contract Is Let for Cold Storage Warehouse on City Dock for the
 Fishermen.
WILL HUSTLE BUSINESS
School Estimates Made to Council = Sum of Thirteen Thousand
 Will Be Needed

DOUGLAS, May 1-The first step, so far as putting Douglas in the list of fish markets, was taken last night at regular meeting of the city council when ten-year lease was unanimously granted c. P. Nor gan and associates for the use of a certain portion of the city dock on which the council agrees to construct cold storage building 21 by 67 feet and also the necessary floats and landings.
 MT. Morgan agrees to offer to fish ermen as good inducements to bring their catches to Douglas as are of fered anywhere else on the coast of Southeastern Alaska while the ex- ceptional harbor facilities will be an additional inducement which few oth- CT points can equal. Morgan and as- 5ociates further agree to purchase all fish brought to them at as good prices as are paid at any other port.
 The council was unanimous in it's actions to do everything possible to stimulate and encourage the fish proposition for Douglas and no time will be lost in getting the proposed building and floats in shape for busi- ness at the earliest possible date.
 School Estimates
 The members of the school board again appeared before the council and the needs and requirements nee essary to keep the school up to it's present standard of efficiency were thoroughly discussed. It was decid- ed that approximately $13,000 will be required to run the school the com ing year and it was further decided that, as the Territory will supply $9,7S0 of the amount required leav- ing S3,250 to be raised by the city, an appropriation of 1a of 1 per cent. of the city taxes will be about the amount required.
 As the school house is much in need of repairs, it was estimated that an additional sum of from $500 to $120G- will be necessary to put it in proper condition.
 Not Charitable Institution
 Councilman Murray of the finance committee to which the matter of the delinquent tax owed by Dr. Will liam Weyerhorst was referred, the latter contended that the property being hospital, was exempt from taxation, reported having visited the office of the Territorial Court at Ju- neau where the court records show that only where property is used for educational and charitable purposes, the court holds, can it be exempt from taxation. A motion that Dr. Weyerhorst be required to pay his tax with the penalty and interest added, passed unanimously.
 The council decided to have the books of the former city officials audited at an early date. A motion to buy 1000 feet of new fire hose prevailed. The charges of wharfage at the city dock are to remain the same as formerly.
 Money on hand to the amount of $5,S72.19 was reported and bills to s3,322.17 were ordered paid.

RECORD FOR WORK
IS ESTABLISHED
BY SUPERVISORS

This evening the board of super
visors will meet for the 20Sth time
since ii came into office January 4,
1915, and during that time 1t has acted
on 1866 matters Of business including
ordinances, petitions. reports and COM
munications.
Just what this means in the way OF
work, particularly for the clerks or
flee, where the records are typed and
filed, can be better appreciated BY
looking at the minutes of the various
meetings which, in book form piled on
top of each other. stand nearly three
feet high.
OF particular interest is the large
number of ordinances passed by this
board which total 46, while the five
previous boards only passed ~. The
reason for this is the. frontage tax
law for street Improvement, which ne
cessitated an unusually large number
of ordinances.
Communications received and read
before the board number 1887, bonds
for employees and contractors SO, com.
mittee and department reports SSl,
petitions 127, resolutions 720. applica-
lions for selling milk $50 and for sell
ing poi As and mayors messages 2.
Tonight's meeting will add to this
already large total and before the
boards term Is over 1t will probably
set a record for itself in the amount
of business transacted.

History Stumbled
But Talk Was Fine
Returning HonoIulan Tells oil
Lecture Given BY Newman
in Washington, D. c.

r. NJ. Newman, the traveller. author
and lecturer, is great Dooste for Ha-
vail, says Attorney Robert Breckons,
who is lust back from Washington.
where he heard the noted trayelogist
deliver talk on Hawaii before
packed house at the Belasco theater.
However, says the Honolulu attor-
ney, Newman was evidently given
some wrong information on Hawaii in
several particulars noticeable TO a
"kamaaina," and which Breckons took
the trouble to correct For instance.
his lecture had Captain Cook being
murdered on Maui and the Cook mon
ument located there, instead OF on
hawaii. and several other slight In
Eaecuracies showed that somebody had
been taking liberties with history.
Breckons called up the lecturer by
telephone. after hearing the talk, and
said he would be glad to enlighten him
on some of the points. Newman very
readily consented and at once made
the. changes suggested.
"His pictures were splendid and the
talk is fine piece of publicity for Ha-
waii, which the inaccuracies did not
impair" says Breckons. He called
Hawaii the most beautiful spot he had
ever seen and the Hawaii folk in
Washington were particularly pleased
when he praised the splendid work OF
development done here under the Am
erican flag. Mr.. Newman is a real
friend OF Hawaii and Is gaining the
success he deserves with his Hawaii
lecture"
