|FLUE FIRE DAMAGE
 DOESN'T EXCEED $50

the shallow area at the northwest end of the roadway TOT lots. The first lots in this area could be fill ed for $400 each lot, and the aver age cost per lot including roadway would not exceed $500, provided all the shallow ground available were filled.
 "The advantages of the alterna- tive are as follows:
 Tt provides for filling Willough- by Avenue from Main Street to Femmer's Corner; it requires no capital expenditure for equipment; few lots can be filled and then as these are disposed of the pro- ceeds used for filling others so that at no time would a large amount of money be required; the road, being shorter and requiring less fill would be completed and available for use more quickly; the cost per lot would be practically the same and there probably would be less interference with the project from people already living along the shore of the tide flat.
 Realty Owners Cooperate
 With reference to that section of Willoughby Avenue between Main Street and Femmer's Corner, the slope of this fill will extend onto lots that are already occupied and which will undoubtedly be fill ed soon after the street is. It is quite probable that some scheme could be worked out whereby the adjoining property owners would pay part of the cost of filling this section of Willoughby Avenue.
 ''If the cost of keeping up the plank roadway on Willoughby Ave nue is $7,000 per year, then the filling of Willoughby from Main Street to Femmer's Corner, thence northwesterly from Gold Creek, is well worthwhile whether any lots are filled or not The establish ment of a road from Femmer's to Gold Greek is advocated for the reason that the road would be straight and the distance much less than to follow the present route of Willoughby Avenue, and the aver age depth is also less.
 Nh Immediate Action
 The estimates contained in MT Metzgar's letter are based on pre- liminary surveys and more detailed study would be required if the work is to be contracted. However, the amount of filling is said to be ap- proximately correct and prices used are ample to cover the work if contracted by some responsible builder.
 The matter was turned over to the Civic Improvement Committee which was directed to place the report before the City Council for it's information. It is said to be practically certain that it will re- quire one or two years at least to initiate the project, if and when it is approved, and considerably longer to do the work
 The Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles Chambers of Com merce all now have active Alaska Committees, the Chamber was told in a letter from Ernest Walker Sawyer, Assistant to the Manager of the Alaska Railroad. Everyone of them is eager to assist Alaska development and any matter refer red to them for action will receive prompt and sympathetic attention
 He added the members of Con- gross from the three cities, through the respective Chambers of Com merce, could be obtained to ale Alaska's delegate in getting con- sideration by Congress of Terri torial legislation.

French Scientists Find
Paralysis Germs
In Dairy Foods

PARIS, Nov. SIN a paper
read before the French Acad-

King and Lapine reported ex-
periments supplementing work
done in the United States on
the theory that milk, butter and
water may be the means Of
transmitting infantile paralysis.
They reported that they had
inoculated monkeys with this
disease through infected foods,
using mashed potatoes infected
by butter and bananas infected
by milk. They made butter by
the usual commercial processes,
injecting it either by adding in
fected milk or by. washing the
butter in infected water. In
both instances the butter re.
tained the infection at least 81
days, during which time the
disease could be contracted by
monkeys to which this butter
was fed. Infected water re-
tains it's virulence 10 days,
