SITE
WILL Be SELECTED
Park and Planning Commits
sion to Meet on Several
Matters Next Friday.

The location of two incinerators, au-
thorized for the District, will be taken
up by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission at its meeting to
be held on Friday of next week.
A. L. Harris, municipal architect for
the District, will appear before the COM
mission and give further details OF the
plans and arrangements for the new
municipal center, to be constructed near
the Capitol.
The commission expects to get a re-
port from the Advisory Board of Archi-
tectS with relation to the tranSporta-
ton questions in the triangle, which
will house some 10000 additional en-
ployeS when the public buildings pro-
gram has been completed.
The possible development of Conduit
road as a commercial street will be con-
Sidered by the commission. It is pro-
posed to have this highway set apart
for commercial traffic, as the proposed
park boulevard will likely be nearer the
river. Provision for the boulevard is
made in the Cramton park purchase
bill, now pending in the Senate, after
its recent passage by the House. The
program calls for a park driveway on
both sides Of the Potomac River be-
tween Great Falls and Mount Vernon
on the Virginia side and from Great
Falls to Fort Washington on the Mary
land side.
The commission will take up the
question of major street widths, Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, the commissions
executive officer, announced. An effort
will be made to Standardize street
widths and ascertain, if possible, if
definite widths for pavements can be
set. Col. Grant made it clear that
there is no thought of wholesale tear
ing up of streets under this program.
The best width, Col Grant said, will be
considered with relation to traffic lanes
for automobiles.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1930-10-23
FIRE PROTECTION

Following last weeks fire cit izen of WAngell dropped in at The Sentinel office and brought up a proposition which is here passed on for what it may be worth.
 The citizen said to begin with that he had no desire to make or cause criticism of the Wrangell fire department. But he could not help but notice that on the morning of ten minutes from the time the alarm was sounded until the first piece of apparatus arrived at the fire.
 The citizens idea was that this delay in getting into action was due to the fact that every fireman had to get from his home to the fire hall, or to the fire, and that the ap- paratus was not in readiness until someone had got to the fire hall and warmed up the engine and made whatever other preparations were necessary.
 The citizen suggested that quar- ters be provided in or adjacent to the fire hall so that one or more f1remen or other responsible parties could be on hand at all times and have the apparatus in readiness or get it to the fire in the shortest possible time.
 Without knowing any of the To- cal conditions which might be fa- vorable or unfavomble to the sug- gested plan, The Sentinel wishes to present the idea and to point out that it involves nothing more than is done by all towns and cities mak- ing any pretension toward adequate fire protection.
 Possibly the fire boys would be willing to stand watch and watch" to insure the town this measure of protection, if comfortable quarters were provided; or surely there must be reliable young chaps in town who would be glad of a place to turn in this winter merely in re- turn for being on the job in case of emergency.
 The Commercial Club this week listened to a proposal to see that all business houses are provided with stand pipes and a length of hose, but after all it is the fire de- partment we look to to put out fires, and commendable as all individual efforts toward protection are, the logical course is to devote the major effort to enabling the fire depart ment to render prompt and adequate service.

HAZEL B. BOATS ARE LAID UP; CREWS GO SOUTH

With the arrival of the Hazel B.. No. 3 from Telegraph Creek last Thursday morning, navigation on the Stikine river closed for the sea- son. Captain Hill Harrington re- ported extremely low water on the upper river. The boat was aground near the moutk of the Scud river and had to be pulled off with the aid of the winch.
 The No. and No. were hauled up on the ways near the Anderson Bros. boat shop early this week. Emmett Reid, chief engineer for the Harrington Company, will remain in Wrangell this winter to do the nec- essary overhauling in preparation for next seasons operations.
 Captains Hill Harrington and F. R. Sterling sailed for Seattle on the Admiral Rogers. Other employees who sailed on the Rogers were H. D. Brunn and Jack Steel. Purser Oar Smith has accepted a position in the Fisher Studios at Ketchikan for the winter.

fled. We make donations which are no doubt gratefully received, but there the matter ends; we are not even conceded the satisfaction of knowing how it is used. The foster fathers are extremely reti- cent. There have been dances, plays and pink teas given, the pro- eeeds of which were all turned over to the fund. Then there have been affairs in which articles were sold by the beautiful blonde mama with the big blue eyes, and, of course, the inevitable tag selling, as well as cash donations.
 When we put a nickle in a gum machine and no gum comes out don't we always give it a shake? ? In short. the Wrangell General Hos pital since it's existence has never made even one financial report. Some of us "wise guys" never de- vote ourselves assiduously to others business to the neglect of our own, but we're interested and "beefng'' is one of the few privileges left us in these days of Hoover and Pros perity," so we indulge it, if only for exercise.

A VENERABLE LANDMARK

The destruction of the Presbyter- ian church by fire last Friday morn ing marks the passing of a Vener- able Alaska landmark, and the eyes of more than one spectator were not entirely dry as they watched it burning.
 The history of the Alaska Presby- tery goes back almost to the days of the American occupancy of AL aska. MT. and Mrs. McFarbane were the first protestant missionaries in the territory, although there seems to have been some sort of an or ganization among the Finnish Luth- erans at Sitka under the Russian re- gime. They had no church, how ever.
 Credit for the Wrangell Presby- terian church belongs to the Mo- Farlanes and to s. Hall Young, the missionary who delivered the first sermon. There was no sawmill here in 1878, and the lumber came from Shakan on the schooner Nellie Mar tin, Capt. Jim Haley.
 Only two men in Wrangell can recall the building of the church; Fred Lynch and Jack Mantle. MT. Mantle worked on. the church in 1879, the year of it's completion. It was built under the supervision of George Hamilton.
 Rev. Pederson has announced that a tablet relating the history of the old church will be a part of the new building, the plans for which are now under discussion.-R. J. s.
