On the other hand, it is urged that some ot the improvements outlined in the PWA loan program Will nave Ito be made this year that all of them would be under taken within the four five gradual scale By making these Improvements now under the h6erai lterms of the PWA oan the City will clear profit of $22 800 on an INVESTMENT of $75,OO0 save a sub stanal sum of money each year maintenance expense o streets bridges and and speed the retirement of the present bonds which 6% interest being paid We believe that the completion of the proposed inn Iprovemen program would benefit directly and indirectly every property and resident of the city It would add imeasuraby to the ctys appearance of permanence and sodity and and stimulate the investment o capital and the making of improvements by residents and non-residents And last, but not leastand this IS
 the reason why the Federal Government offers to present to the City of Juneau gift of program would furnish employment large number of workers who must be looked after this summer The distribution o such large sum of proposed would be tremend ous factor in the promotion of prosperity for Juneau
 All funds received from the PWA loan would be ex- pended under the supervision of representative of the
 Public Works Administration Every effort would be made o course to that not dollar be wasted and that the lCity get full value the money invested

TINE Summer of 1894 will have

u just released by the Columbia

junction with the McGraw-Hill Pub

Eighteen million homes, or 60 per

Is estimated at more thah a million.
These and the millions of portable sets
IN vogue assure radio reception to va
cationists even while travelling.
Another salient point brought out
in the survey is the fact that of the
