CEMENT WALKS TO BELAID AT
 TWO CORNERS
Councilman Green Advo cates Improvements
 on Three Streets

Extension of cement sidewalks in the downtown parts of Juneau was the chief business considered at the regular meeting last evening of the City Council Permission was granted property owners to lay cement walks on the Second Street side and the Main Street side of the vacant lot at the northeasterly corner of Second and Main, and on the Third Street side and the Main Street side of the lot occupied by a confectionery store at the north westerly corner of Third and Main. Cement sidewalks are advocated by Councilman John E. Green on Franklin Street from the Capitol Theatre and the Elks Building on the south to Fourth Street on the north; on Seward Street from Third Street to Fourth Street, and on those boarded parts of Main Street from Front Street to Fourth Street.
 Councilman Green is interview ing interested property owners to obtain their cooperation. Under the law the city will pay one-tnird the cost of cement and meet all the cost of filling, while benefited property owners must pay two thirds of the cost of cement.
 The councilman is quite hopeful of effecting the improvements in the near future, he told fellow members of the council.

 The contract for construction was awarded to the Berg Ship Building Company, Seattle, and for the engine to H. J. Mclaughlin.

Only seven days was available from the time funds were allotted to advertise for bids and award the contrac ts, which necessarily limited the scope of bidding.
 MT. Terhune left here on June 2. He spent the entire time in Se- attle. Work has already been started on the new boat.

ATLANTA, June 20.- Americas $ millions of school boys and girls may want to give three rousing cheers for Willis A. Sutton, of At- lanta, president of the National Ed ucation Association. He advocates mo home work rule for school children.

KIDS TO BE PAID
 TO HAVE FUN ON
 FOURTH OF JULY
Prizes to Be Given Boys and Girls that Take
 Part Tn Parade

Here's fun for the kids on the Fourth of July. Of course, the observance of Independence Day may be principally intended to con- memorate the achievements and tc rekindle the patriotism of grown folks. But still the celebration in the opinion of J. L. Gray, chief of the fire department, who is talk ing a leading part in arranging for the national holiday, cannot be a success unless 1t makes provision for children as participants.
 Won't Be Bored
 And the chief knows children. He realizes that an oration, even if delivered by Demosthenes, would bore them stiff. The head of the Fire Department will have charge of the parade, so he is going to enlist the youngsters in his part of the show.
 They can dress in character cus- toms-the funnier the merrier-and can bring their pets and playthings, the more the better. From the fund that the Chamber of Con- merce has contributed to defray the expenses of the celebration, he has chiseled several dollars that he plans to award as prizes to boys and girls in the line of march. The prizes follow:
 Boys-Best dressed character first award, s1; second award, 50 cents. Best decorated pet or ve- hicle, first award, $l; second award 50 cents.
 Prizes for Girls
 Girls-Eight years old or under best dressed character, first award s1; second award, 50 cents. Eight years old or under best decorated doll buggy, first award, $1 second award, 50 cents. Over years old best dressed character, first award s1: second award, 50 cents.
 Boys or Girls-Eight years old or under, most comical, first award

 No race, color or creed is barred, declares the chief. Inasmuch as he is also chairman of the fire works committee, he cannot give all his time to looking after details of the children's section of the parade, so he has asked and has received the cooperation of several ladies who are in sympathy with his views.
 The committee having charge of the white children's division is composed of Mrs. E. F. Watkins, chairman; Mrs H. c. Williamson, and Mrs. R. Reischl.
 The committee in charge Of the Indian childrens section consists of Mrs. Harold Smith and Mrs. Thomas Allen.
