majority who voted for the custer with
charges that he was depoSed because he

Maurice Maschke, Republican leader
and refused to allow councilmen to run
the police department.
Hopkins made his charges as a coun-
ter tack on the list of reasons which
council said week ago were the expla-
nation of his dismissal. They had ac-
cused him of failure to provide for
proper maintenance of the municipal
light plant, negligence in failing to pre-
vent q playground deal in which the
city was swindled out Of $33, $50. and
that he usurped powers of council and
mayor. Several less important charges
also were listed.

TREASURY HAS S720,85O CASH
 AT YEARS END
In Best Condition on Rec ord Building Fund
 Totals $l24,000

The Territorial Treasury yester- day closed the year 1929 with a cash balance of $720,350.41 on hand, it was announced by Walstein C.. Smith, Treasurer, This sum, with $l24,0O0 on hand in the Pioneers Home Building Fund, totaling $844, : 85041, puts the Territory in the strongest end of the year position it has ever known.
 On December 31, 1928. it's cash balance was SG5797857, and it had $61 900 in the Pioneers Home Building Fund. A year prior to that time, it's resources were $772, = z58.59 and in 1926, s614,O10O7.
 Little of the major taxes from 1929 are included in the present balance, Treasurer Smith pointed out. The bulk of the salmon pack taxes, which constitutes the main source of the Territory's revenue, has yet to come in Usually these

Apparently the fi- nanoial position of the Territory at the end of the current bien- nium, March 31, 1881, will be at least equally as satisfactory a5 it was on that date in 1929 when there was almost $1,25O,OOO in the treasury.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-American cities are 90 per cent ugly.
 So says Charles H. Cheney of California, Chairman of the Am crican Institute of Architects city and regional planning commission and he thinks this ugliness can be overcome.
 "The glorious new architecture of New York" he says, caused by the zone ordinance in it's step-back provisions for light and air, is one profound esthetic result of the city building of our time.
 Few persons know that these regulations were deliberately work cd cut by some of our greatest architectural thinkers"
 The institute has inaugurated a campaign against architectural ugli- ness by exhibiting motion pictures of Washington improvements to schools, colleges, business organi- zations, wcmens clubs and art bodies.
