gro sum up, in a few words, we are asking the voters of Ju- neau to permit us to use the city streets and thoroughfares for the laying, beneath the streets, heat ing pipes or mains from a Control heating plant to the various build ings in and about the downtown area.
 Financed By Local Capital
 The granting of this permit and the incorporating of the same into a local organization will mean the inauguration of public service enterprise financed by local capital and operated as a public utility.
 The various business people have been contacted and have promised their patronage and cooperation and have signified their willing ness to hook up with our system, and secure heat and hot water provided we are able to serve them efficiently and at a cost that will not be much greater than their present means.
 We aim to use the best materials procurable and the most modern equipment in order to give the best service at the lowest cost.
 Laying of Mains
 According to our plans it may not be necessary to tear up the paving in the downtown area, as we can, if the various property owners win permit, lay our mains beneath the buildings, thus eliInina- ting the heavy cost of street ex- oavating and the higher cost of heavier insulating and in the end giving us easy access to our mains at all times. The mains will not be strapped to the buildings but will be supported on concrete shoulders independent of the buildings.
 The cost of the plant and ins- tallation vii not exceed $100,000, the construction will give much needed employment to many of our local men over a long period of time and lthe finished system will mean an added payroll, and naw source of revenue to the City Treasury.
 Supervision of Rates
 'sTlhe rates to be charged will be agreed upon by the City Council and the installation of the system will be governed by the city ordin- ances now existing.
 The central plant will be situat- ed at the lowest point available in order to facilitate the saving of the entire condensation thus avoid ding any waste of water, and also so situated to warrant the shortest distance from which to convey the steam.
 The dry steam will be fed into the individual heating systems connecting up above the different boilers and at any time patron feels that he is not getting ade- quate service he can disconnect our service and in a few minutes reconnect his old system. Tn other words no one is asked to scrap his old plant.
 Satisfaction is Assured
 Mir. Bulger has used central heating services over five years, and I venture to say that in a years time, ofter the completion of the plant, every user of steam or hot water will be a proud satisfied user of community ser vice.
 Tn summing up we say that the city of Juneau has everything to gain with no added burden whatsoever. We will have fewer downtown fires; we will be stepping

LAW 4R|NGS" SEEN
IN RECE|VERSH|PS
Chicago Fees May Be Probed
to Protect Creditors-BiI-
lions at Stake.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CHICAGO, May 1.-THE prosaic
subject Of court "receiverships" has
taken on important and popular inter-
est here as a matter presumed to be
loaded with political dynamite.
1t all dates back to the days of the
real estate boom when securities were
fioated and buildings built on a basis
that today def1es contract fulfillment.
Now with billion dollars Of real estate
paper in default here, according to
Association of Commerce figures, the
city senses a major scandal
Rich plums lie in receiverships of
buildings unable to earn full mortgage
or bond interest. Through the last
three years rumors constantly have
been heard OF properties thrown un-
necessarily into receivership instead Of
being reorganized, in order to provide
sinecures for lawyer rings, supposedly
connected with the courts.
Probed by Bar Association.
Now the Chicago Bar Association is
interesting itself in the situation. The
States attorney, attacking political
foe, called attention to practice which
resulted in loss to investors and profit
for favored individuals, and at pres
ent grand jury investigations are
hinted.
Many real estate owners have seen
their properties pass from their con-
troll through receivership and fore
closure sales, yet the interested law
yers have received fees by order of
court which so burden the property as
virtually to nullify the intended right
Of redemption" the bulletin Of the
Chicago Bar Association says.
There is a foreclosure ring COM
posed of lawyers; there is a receiver
ship ring composed of lawyers; in re-
ceiverships the estate is first carved up
by the lawyers and the receivers and
thereafter the creditors do very little
receiving.
There must be fearless investiga-
ton. The alleged outrageous fees, the
alleged political receiverships and the
alleged foreclosure rings must be
brought from the sunless caverns to
the light of day"
Clamor for Protection.
The bar association here has select
ed an active Committee on Receiver
ships to pry under the surface of
things At the moment no one knows
how rnany receiverships are pending,
cne estimate being as high as $4,000
and another as low as $4,000. But citi-
zens, with money involved, are clamor-
ing to have something done to assure
that they. and not self-seeking rings
of attorneys, get what equity remains
in a property after it has defaulted.
This whole problem is expected to
be a prominent factor in the coming
race for the States attorneyship here.

OPTIONAL RETIREMENT
AFTER 80 YEARS ASKED
Oficia1 of Federation of Post Office
Clerks Advocates Step as
Economy Measure.

OPTIONAL retirement for Federal en-
ployes after 80 years service was urged
as an economy measure by Thomas r.
Flaherty, secretary treasurer OF the Ma
tional Federation of Post ONCE Clerks
testifying yesterday before the House
Civil Service Committee.
Pointing out, for example, the average
nav of postal clerks is S2,l00 compared
to the ST 200 that would be the average
annuity, Flaherty said that the differ
ence would represent a saving because
no replacements would be required.
Optional retirement, he told the COM
mittee would permit Post ONCE clerks
who are in impaired health to leave
the service. At present they must re-
main until they have reached SO years
of age before they can retire optionally.
POST Office mail distribution Is per-
formed largely at night and at high
speed and tension and there are health
impairments at relatively early age as
a result" stated Mr.. Flaherty. While
optional retirement will cause no great
exodus from the postal service-because
of the economic necessity Of the average
clerk continuing work regardless of i'm
paired health-it will grant the oppor-
tunity to some clerks who are physically
in bad shape to leave the service before
their health is ruined irreparably."

Prohibition again bulked large in the

ranged for the renewed declaration that
Methodism will countenance no repeal

The conference held its first strictly
prohibition rally last night, when DR.:
Clarence True Wilson Of the Board OF
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals said prohibition Is still holding
its own on Capitol Hill"
He declared Methodism had neither
the desire or inclination ito dabble In
politics" The only way to get the
church into politics, he added, is to
make either party assault prohibition,
its integrity, or its desirability in its
platform or put up wet candidate to
administer it.
I've shall consider that" he warned,
"a declaration of war against US

fire as a demonstration OF the loose

Il give my unreserved support to the
eighteenth amendment and the prohibl-
ti0n law" he wrote, because they pro-
vide the degree OF control over liquor
which Is necessary for national sobriety.
AS between a law which favors drinking
and a law which favors soberness, the
American home and church and school
and workshop stand for the latter.
Prohibition is the best method that
has vet been devised to give effect to
the sober sentiment of the Nation. we
have always had excellent onclal CO.
