} ORDINANCES ARE PRESENTED
 CITY COUNCIL
Peddlers Are to Be Regu- lated-New Moves
 Made for Floats

Two ordinances regulating ped dlers. solicitors, and itinerant mer- chants. and one regulating the use of the City Float were introduced for first readings at a busy session of the Juneau City Council last night.
 The ordinances covering peddlers and solicitors will require that ap- plicants for a license must be residents of Alaska for a period Of one year prior to application, and must enter applications seven days previous to going into busi- ness. License fees will be Sl5 per day. A bond of $500 will also be required.
 Requirements
 Solicitors and peddlers will be prohibited from entering upon pri- vate premises or residences, ring ing doorbells, or knocking upon doors without permission from the owners of such premises. on the ground that such activities con- stituta a nuisance. Violations will be treated as misdemeanors and will be prosecuted as such.
 Objections on the grounds Of constitutionality of this last pro- vision are nullified by a Green River. Wyoming, case in which the United States Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an ordinance pro- hibiting nuisances of this type.
 Under City Control
 The purpose of the peddling or dinances is to put tiinerant mer- chants under the control of the city. and to remove the previous advantage which such merchants have enjoyed over local business men. The ordinances are also in tended to prevent fraud and mis- representation.
 The ordinances will repeal pre- vious legislation in this field.

 The service of the company is also hindered when persons use their telephones unnecessarily, im- mediately after a fire alarm. The operators have more than sixty calls to make to the various mem- bers of the department at their homes and places of business every time an alarm is sounded.
 Another interesting service of the company is that of calling shipping agents, wharfingers, long, shore foremen. and taxi companies when a steamer comes into sight in the channel, giving them time to meet it. These things are done without cost"

During the past three months the Juneau and Douglas Telephone Company has made extensive re- pairs and alterations on their lines.

 Call By Number
 Mrs Anna Webster, President of the Juneau and Douglas Telephone Company remarked upon the prac- tica of calling by name instead of number.
 If people realized how much extra work it caused the oper- ators, they would use their direc- tories more" she said.
 By actual count, 800 calls went through in one hour when there was only one operator on duty. Looking up numbers for people who call by name, and giving the time, slows up the operators until service is badly interfered with. It is almost impossible for a person to care for that many calls with
