 TO BE LAID BY
 JUNEAU MAS0NS
Permission Is Granted for Honor at New Federal
 Building Here

The Mt. Juneau Lodge of Masons has received a favorable reply from the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department in answer to their request for permission to lay the corner stone of the new Fed eral and Territorial Building now under construction here Construc- tion Engineer J. I. Marshall and E. M Curtis, Superintendent for the N. P. Severin Construction Company have also recommended this ceremony by the Jun a u Masons.
 In view of the fact that this event will mark an epoch in the history of Alaska, the officers of the Mt. Juneau Lodge contemplate making the ceremony of special in- terest to the citizens of Juneau and the Territory at large. The lodge is now in communication with Arthur w. Davis, Most Worship fui Grand Master of the Grand Lodge Of Masors for the jurisdic- ton of the State of Washington, in an effort to have him and his Grand Lodge officers come to Ju- reau for participation in this cere- mony.
 The ceremony will be of public nature and it is hoped that two hour closing period may be se- cured throughout the city in order that business men, Federal and Ter litorial officials, and school chil- dren may attend the exercises.
 No date has been set for this ceremony, as it will depend largely on the progress of the construction of the building, but it is antici- pated that the stone work will ad vance to this period by the last of March or early in April.

They Werf working for the third and final fall when MalceWlcz was dis qualified.
