TOWN TRUCK
AGAIN In SPAT'
Cop Speaks and Car Parked
Illegally Is Let Alone.

Police tow-in truck No. 9, drawn
into the spotlight recently in con-
neotion with "boners" in enforce
ment of the tow-in law, is respon-
sible for another complaint to The
Times today.
About 9:15 this morning, accord
ing to witnesses, truck No. 8 came to
halt in front Of 22O North Illinois
street and began the preliminaries
Of towing in double parked car.
The car bore license No. 83-001, ac-
cording to witnesses complaining to
The Times.
Just as operators of the two-in
truck started to attach the crane
chain to the front axle of the il
legally parked car, a motorcycle po-
liceman, whose identity was not
learned, rode from an alley near
where the car was parked, and con-
ferred with the policeman in charge
of the tow-in truck.
Two-in operations ceased imme-
diately, the witness said, and the
tWo-in truck drove away.
Twenty-Five minutes later, two
women emerged from a building
nearby, entered the double parked
car, and drove away At the same
time. witnesses said, the motorcycle
officer left the scene.
At the statehouse, it was reported
the car with license 83-001, a large
sedan, is owned by Ocal Muters-
Daugh, 1947 North Lasalle street.

LOSS IN
NORTH SIDE FIRE
Blaze, Started in Vacant
Home, Is Costly.

Fire which started from sparks on
the roof of a vacant house at 2128
Central avenue, shortly before noon
today, spread to three nearby struc-
lures, causing damage estimated at
$4,000 before the blaze was extin-
guished.
The fire started when Walter R.
Burford of Lawrence, paperhanger,
built a wood fire in the furnace of
the vacant house to dry walls and
ceiling for papering.
The flames spread to the resi-
dence of Bert Keene, druggist, 2134
Central avenue, and to 2126 Central
avenue, occupied by Paul Earhart
and G. F. Benson. The blaze also
spread to a vacant duplex at 2122-24
Central avenue.
Majority of the loss to building
and furniture was covered by in
surance, owners said.
Burford told police and fire
squads he heard some one yell fire"
several times, but did not heed the
alarm until he heard the roof
cracking above him.
The roof of the vacant house col
lapsed. Traffic was tied up for some
time. Two alarms we're sounded for
north side departments
Losses to the properties, all of
which were frame structures: 2128
Central avenue, $4,000; 1926 Central
avenue, $4,000; 2134 Central avenue,
$4,000, and 2122-24 Central avenue,
$4,000.

STATEMENT IF TIE TERRITORY AUDITOR
 |S S162 736 29
CUT HEAVILY FROM LAST YEAR ON ACCOUNT INCREASED
 EXPENDITURES

At the close of business on Mo- vember 30 the books of the Terri torial Auditors office showed a cash balance of $162, ,73629, which is $400, 0,305.66 less than that shown on November 30, 1880. This loss Is largely due to increased expendi- lures, plus some decreases in mis- cellaneous tax receipts and 8 20 per cent reduction in fish pack taxes.
 Some of the canners, appreciat- ing the Territory's financial condi- ton, have sent ill their taxes three months in advance of when they usually pay. The Alaska Packers Association have paid $80,000 and several small canners have paid amounts which will bring the total to approximately $1O0,000. This aic will permit payment of Territorial obligations which otherwise coulc
