LED AT JUNEAU, AL
 ASKA
 We, your memorialiStS, the Com mon Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, respectfully represent:
 That incorporated cities in AL aska that construct new school buildings are without authority un- der existing law to sell or otherwise dispose of their old school build ings and property thereby abandon ed and no longer needed for schoo! purposes.
 That such cities are therefore de- prived of the money to be derived from a sale or rental of such ab- anddned buildings and property or the power to make other dis posal of the same for the best in- terests of the city.
 That the Legislature of the Ter ritory of Alaska took cognizance ot similar situation which existed prior to 1929 relative to school buildings in school districts outside of incorporated cities and incor- pOrated school districts abandoned because of the construction ot new school buildings, and be Section 100 of Chapter 97 of the Laws of 1929 empowered the Commits 'oner of Education with the approval of the Governor to sell or rent Suci abandoned school buildings.
 That similar authority should be given to incorporated cities to dispose of their school building: e'ld property abandoned because of the construction of new school build ings.
 NOW, THEREFORE, your memor- ialists respectfully urge that the Legislature of the Territory of AL aska at the present session there of grant to incorporated cities power to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of school buildings and real property abandoned because of the construction of new school build ings.
 For your consideration we re- spectfully suggest and that sa4s Section 100 Of Chapter 97 of the Laws of 1929 be amended by add ing thereto the following: When a schoo building and real property in a school district in an incorporated city is abandoned be- cause of the construction of new school building the common coun- cil of such incorporated city may in their discretion sell, lease or otherwise dispose of said abandoned building and property under such terms and conditions shali 3p- pear for the best interests of said city"
 1 And your memorialists will ever pray.
 Adopted this 5th day of March, 1881.

DROP REPORTED IN
STORAGE HOLDINGS
Quantity Of Meat, Dairy Pro.
ducts and Eggs on Hand
Shows Decrease

Cold storage holdings of most
meats, dairy products and eggs in the
United States Nov. l showed q sharp
decline below those on the same date
last year and in most cases were well
below the five-year average, accord
ing to o. M. Fuller. farm economist
of the state Agricultural college,
Fargo.
Cold storage holdings of creamery
butter shows decline of So, ,482 900
pounds below last year and 58,5l8,00
pounds below the average for the last
five years. Holdings of eggs are L.
las. 900 cases below the Nov. l, 1890,
mark but still are 588, 900 cases above
the 5-year average. The amount of
frozen poultry, 'however, has jumped
6,42l 900 pounds over last year. Tur-
keys in storage are 100000 pounds
less than the amount in storage in
1890. Other meat products all show
decline in storage, with the excep-
ton of lard, 3,43O,000 more pounds
being in storage now than year
ago.
During the last two years cold
storage operators have suffered large
losses. owing to the rapidly falling
prices of these perishable farm prod
ucts," Fuller says. THE reaction to
these osses has been a sharp reduc-
ton In the amounts of meat. dairy
and poultry products going into the
refrigerating plants. With the first
definite indication of an upturn in
business and agricultural conditions,
increased quantities of these products
are likely to be in demand for stor-
! age" he believes.
