 MT. Dishaw is head of the firm of A. Dishaw & Son. He is a build- ing and general contractor. He has been resident of Juneau three or four years.
 MT. Dishaw's Policy
 My policy" he said, would be to superintend public improvement work and to employ only residents of the city as laborers. For the purposes of paving improvements, I favor the division of the city into three zones, each of which would do its own paving. Thus the gen. eral treasury would be relieved from the burden of paying the costs of such improvements"
