i sanitary condition of present sewer age system.
 Bidwell suggested a special cleo. tion to ascertain the will of the
 tax payers, but the clerk, referring
 to Dr. Smiths letters, informed the Council that the offer of govern ment funds was limited to applica- Iions received before the first of the new year, and there would scarcely
 be time to advertise and hold a special election, and still get the application to Juneau on the speci- fled date. Hanford pointed out that the town might apply for the funds, subject to the vote of the taxpayers. If the vote was negative, the town was at liberty to refuse the loan.
 After considerable discussion Sumption made motion that the town apply for the necessary funds in three separate loans, namely: S29,000 for the water works, $12,- 900 for the Front Street improve ments and $6,1OO for the sewerage system, and that the election bal lots be printed in such a way that the voters could indicate their ap- proval. of any, or all, or none of the projects. This motion was seconded by Hanford and carried over the negative vote of Bidwell
 A letter from Acting Governor Griffith, asking for an estimate of the number of men who could be employed in improving streets and other community property and re- conditioning unsightly property, was read and discussed. The Civil Works Administration offers to pay the men if the town will furnish the necessary material and equip ment. As the only necessary ex- pense to the town would be a few additional picks and shovels, the clerk was instructed to inform Mir. Griffith that 30 men could be use fully employed.
 The clerk was also instructed to write to the proper Territorial of- ficials relative to payments for the airport. The voaI,oii irVius ti.N~t t,.v site was chosen with the advice of the Territorial engineer, that 1t is of no practical use. and that the Town should not be required to pay all of the sum demanded, which is 25 per cent of the original cost.
 Upon receipt of advice from at tornies that the proposed closing ordinance for restaurants might lead to expensive litigation, the Council decided to defer the matter of
 mending the ordinance.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS
 DISCUSSED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL

At a special meeting of the Town Council held in the town hall We'd nesday night, letters from Dr. Phillip S. Smith, Alaska Director for the Public Works Administra- ton, were read and discussed. Also telegram from Acting Governor l Griffith, asking for an estimate of the number of men who could be employed in reconditioning civic property with funds provided by the Civil Works Administration. An amendment to Ordinance "A, pro- viding a penalty for the unlawful use of electric current from the municipal lines was approved and passed.
 The principal topic under dis cussion was the letter from Dr. Smith, setting forth the conditions under which the Public Works Ad- ministration proposes to loan money to municipalities for public improve ments. AS stated in previous issues of the Sentinel. these loans are a part of President Roosevelt's pro- gram to relieve unemployment. States, territories, counties, towns, are invited to submit plans for improvements that are deemed necessary or advisable together with an estimate of the cost. If the pro jet meets with the approval of the PWA. the Federal government gives outright 30 per cent of the cost of such project, and loans the remain ing 70 per cent on long term notes at per cent interest.
 At a previous meeting of the council the services of a competent engineer were authorized to make a survey and draw up an estimate of the cost of certain public inn provements in Wrangell Wednesday Frank Metcalf were read and dis cussed. They include the construc- tion of a new dam to provide ad- ditional water storage for the town, a sewerage system, and a concrete retaining wall for Front Street. In submitting his estimate of approxi- mately $29,000 for the water system, MT. Metcalf admitted that his fig rres were high, owing to the situa- tion of the proposed dam. His esti- mates for a trunk line sewer ap- proximated $6,100; the retaining wall and the reconditioning of Front Street, $12.000.
 The Council as a whole appeared ito view these projects with favor, deeming them necessary improve ments. but several members con- sidered the estimates too high, and others were reluctant about obligat- ing the town without the approval of the tax payers.
 Councilman Sorset pointed out the hazards of fire and Dr. Turner's recommendation regarding the un-

No Discrimination In
 Alaska Federal Work

The following editorial, which ap- peared in the Juneau Empire for November 2S, under the caption of No Racial Discrimination" merits publication in the news columns of the Wrangell Sentinel, because it contains information and statistics not readily available to this paper. It is published in full:
 Qne 9f the FRai9r fcti9pa nf ,h9 convention here recently was to declare by resolution that the h. dians of Alaska have been barred from receiving relief fund benefits on racial grounds. Discrimination. it asserted, has been practiced by Federal agencies in charge of Fed eral relief funds to the end that Indians were unabe to get jobs, and in this connection it named specifically two organizations-the United States Forest Service and the United States Bureau of Public Roads. This is grave charge and one which, if true, would be just cause for condemnation of those responsible. Since no supporting data was included in the resolution, proof, or lack of 1t, must be obtain ed from other sources.
 ''The Emergency Conservation Work, under the Forest Service, has in the main constituted the major relief activity in Alaska during the past nine months, except of course, the Public Works Administrations allotment for roads which was ex- pended through the Alaska Road Commission. AS the later organiza- tion was not named by the Indian leaders it is reasonable to assume it's administration has been satis- factory. That leaves, then, the Forest Service and its ECW pro- ~ram and the Bureau of Public Roads and its few MIRA projects. Since work has been started on but one of these, that on Glacier High way where some day labor Is being done by the Bureau, it's alleged dis crimination would necessarily be limited And as a matter of fact. the engineer in charge of the work is authority for that statement that at the time the resolution was pass ed not a single Indian had applied to him for work. Until it can be shown to the contrary, the Bureau of Public Roads must, therefore. be exonerated from the charge
 "Now as to the Forest Service. Last Spring, when President Roose- welt included Alaska in the Nation al Emergency Conservation Work. a definite setup was made. Except in Alaska the work was assigned to the Civilian Conservation Corps. or ganized under direction of the Army with the Forest Service directing the conservation program. The Army enlisted the Corps, command ed it and paid it off. It still per forms those functions. In Alaska, the Forest Service organized the ECW camps, enrolled the workers. directed the work, and the Army paid, and pays, the bills.
 In the National program, the Army did not, and does not now, organize Indian companies or camps. (Continued to Pags Four)
