CHAMBER BACK OF IMP R R0 WING
 FRONT STREET
Urges Immediate Action and Takes Steps to Co.,
 operate with City

The support of the Chamber of Commerce to the improvemnt of
 lower Front Street between the City Dock and the Alaska Juneau
 was today put at the disposal of Mayor T. B. Judson and the City Council. The organization adopted a motion endorsing immediate ac- tion and authorizing President H. L. Faulkner to appoint a special committee to investigate the matter and to cooperate with the City authorities in getting the work started
 The narrowness of the street in the section between the two points named, declared President Faulk- ner, has produced a deplorable condition. The community owes it to the Alaska Juneau interests, the backbone of the town, and to it's employees to remedy the situa- tion without delay, both he and Allen Shattuck urged.
 Must Widen Street
 In order to ameliorate existing conditions and give relief to pedes- trians, it will be necessary to widen the street, Mayor T. B. Judson told the Chamber The City authorities have had the matter under consideration for sometime. As the street is lined with build ings, it will be necessary to pur- chase some of the adjoining prop erty before the thoroughfare can be made wider. The Alaska Ju- neau and the Juneau Lumber Mills, both of which own some adjacent land have assured Mayor Judson [ they will donate all the ground necessary for the improvement pro- | ject. As soon as the present inn provements to the City Dock prop crty are completed, the Mayor ad- ! ded, the old red warehouse in the rear of the City Cafe will be rased and that lot filled in with rock. | The City Cafe will then be moved [ back 16 feet from the street. The i City already has been dedicated i sufficient ground south of the City Cafe to widen the section ! down to the sawmill property.
 From ther it will be necessary to obtain additional land on the left of the street. Some of this is available from the Juneau Lumber Mills and the Alaska Juneau but most of it is in private hands. The Committee from the Chamber f will interview these owners and see if arrangements can be made with them to get the needed space.
 Lessen Fire Risk
 By widening the street, not only will the convenience of employees of the Alaska Juneau and the travelling public be served but the fire hazard in that end of town will be materially lessened, MT. Shattuck declared. This will be of benefit to both the mine and saw mill, the community's two leading industries
 At present the street is so mar row that it is not possible to in- stall a regulation sidewalk along t. Pedestrians using the narrow walk run the risk of being splat- cred with mud and water during 'ainy weather and the situation is bad, said MT. Shat tuck. Both he and President Faulkner stressed the importance ,f immediate remedy. MT. Faulkner also emphasized

Snake Makes Visit

springing from a loop restaurant on
West Adams street last night.

Sergeants Burns and. Sheehan, dash
ing into the place.
"Snake!" hollered Sergeants Burns
and Sheehan a minute later from the
basement.
Out in the country a snake is just
a yawn, but in the loop it is a big
moment. The two officers un-
limbered their artillery and fired.
What St. Patrick did for Ireland the
Sergeants Burns and Shcehan would
do for Chicago. The snake, who had
been snoozing, poked its head up,
looked the situation over, and spat.
This was an inelegant act, but
snakes arc that way.
The ~sergcants reloaded and fired
some more. The noise finally got on
the snakes nerves. 1t yawned, spat,
r%nsnarled, and slid easily away,
down a hole.
The officers believe one Of their
bullets wounded the snake in the
hips.
