Florida Women Ask Law
 Against Child Marriage

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug. g. The clubwomen of Florida plan to make strong fight at the forth coming biennial legislative session, in April and May, 1925, to have the marriage laws of the state amend ed, setting limit upon the mar riageable age of girls.
 The matter was subject of great interest at Tampa recently when 8 girl bride was brought before the county probation officer. It was discovered that the childs' parents were dead and that she had been left in the care of her aged grand mother. The grandmother had given the consent, the only legal require ment, to the child's marriage to a man of 34 years of age. The union resulted in grief to the young wife. Now the club women, backed by judges, probation officers, and others, plan fight to bring about enactment o flaws designed to prevent a recur- renee of such tragedies.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
 AND COLONEL STEESE
 DISCUSS LOWELL CREEK

Col. James c. Steese, of the Alaska
 Col. James c. Steese, of the Alaska charge of road work, met with the city council Saturday night to con- fer over the Lowell creek situation. Col .Steese told the council that pre- vious to his leaving Washington short time ago, Secretary Work had been in favor of the bill introduced by Delegate Sutherland, but since his return to Alaska he had received a letter from the Secretary asking for a survey and report on condi- tions, and what the city was pre- pared to pay in the way of costs. The project, according to Col. Steese was of no interest to the Navy depart ment, and congress would expend no money for making a harbor for small craft. If congress deemed that a shelter for small boats is necessary a survey would have to be made for same. The proposed wooden Hume recommended by the special commit tee appointed by the city would cost about S80,000 and as it was solely for the protection of the city which would be required to pay back certain sum each year, the project had been abandoned. If the material from the creek was used as break water for small boats, Col. Steese de- clared the matter would have to be taken up with the Rivers and Har- bors committee, and as this might cause a serious delay in securing an appropriation it might have to be held up. MT. Steese stated that the Secretary of the Interior had refused to recommend the Improvement until a further survey is made.
 Mayor Ray stated that while the harbor is needed if it would cause such delay in the improvement of Lowell Creek it would be omitted from the report. In case the meas ure came up the government would ask who were the benefciaries and if the town was the sole gainer the re- quest would not be considered.
 Col. Steese said he had asked the railroad how much damage had been done and in case damage threatened if they would furnish cranes and equipment necessary to protect pro- perty free of charge if directed by congress. When he received the coun- cil's reply he would submit his report and recommendations.
 The meeting threshed out the question pretty thoroughly and until Col. Steese makes his report nothing can be done in the matter.

LIGHTS BE DISCONTINUED
 UNLESS METERS INSTALLED

Under the provisions of Ordinance No. IS, of the Town of Seward, no electric current can be sold except thru meters after September first. This means that unless you have or dered your meter installed that your lights will be shut off September 1, as toe light company Is penalized un- der said ordinance if it furnishes light ol power except thru meters. The company is busy installing met CTS, but is swamped with work and has yet about 160 to install.
 Electrician J. ". Burns also de- clares that he can take no more or ders for work until he catches up. This leaves those dilatory about com plying with the ordinance betw cen the devil and the deep sea. Only an extension of time by the council or an influx of electricians can save many homes from going dark. In case you have not placed your order for meter it behoovrs you to do so.
