MORRIS TO ADD
TO BUILDINGS;
TOSTART SOON

Plans were made known today by
Llano Morris, of the Morris Con-
struction Company, for the cree
ton in the near future of four mod
ern bachelor apartments and three
private garages on the Morris
property at Second and Franklin
Streets.
The building will be erected be-
tween the Morris shop and the
Legion Dugout and extending to-
ward the Rice Plumbing Shop. The
structure will be modern in all re-
spects with garages on the ground
floor and small, but up-to-date
apartments above.
The construction is to start, ac-
cording to Mr.. Morris, as soon as
the ground thaws and it is suffi-
GENTLY warm to permit the pour
ing of concrete foundations. The
work will be pushed to completion
for occupancy by late spring.
According to Mr.. Morris there
is a scarcity of m a II, modern
apartments and private garages.
The three garages to be con
structed are at this time rented
for three year period and the
apartments are already spoken for

Final Canvass Tomorrow

The Territorial canvassing board
will meet tomorrow in tie office
of Gov. George A. Parks 20 begin
its official canvass of the vote in
the election last November, it
was announced today by Gov.
George A. Parks, Chairman. Other
members of the board are: Karl
Theils, Secretary of Alaska, and
j. C. Mcbride, Collector of Gus
toms.
The Board has met several times
since the election, but owing to
the incompleteness of the returns
received, no start was made on the
canvass. While no list has been
compiled of the precincts so far
received, it is believed that the
returns are sufficiently complete
to proceed with the compilation.
While some of the races were
close on the face of the unofficial
returns, it is not believed the
check of the board will make any
material change Unofficial re-
turns showed the following candi-
dates for the legislature, to have
been elected:
First Division: Senator Charles
Benjamin. Republican, Wrangell;

hour today Federal officers had
not been able to locate the man
who is believed to be making an
effort to escape from the country.
The amount of the alleged de-
falcations is not definitely known,
but it is believed that it will be
several thousand dollars. An audit
of the company's books is now
being made by j. A. Davis, well
known local accountant, and it is
reported that numerous discrep-
ancies involving varying sums CT

by the laundry since December

on the streets in the vicinity of
the Alaskan Hotel. With Mrs.
Thompson, Mrs. James Smith and
Coast Guardsman from the I'm
alga, Thompson walked down to
a local theatre earlier Sunday
evening. He left them at the
door saying he had some work
to do at the office. Mrs Thomp-
son said she had not seen him
since that time.
Apparently he had revisited
his home later Sunday evening
as a shaving outfit and hand
bag was missed there. However,
