much if we work in the real inter
ests of the Town. Above all things
let us not forget that our little town
is in debt and therefore let ECONO-
MY be our watchword. Every UNI
necessary expense should be avoided
to the end that we may soon be in
position to pay all our outstand-
ing red warrants and stop paying
out good money in interest on these
obligations.
l sincerely trust that my selec-
ton of the various committees meet
with your approval and in this con-
nection l wish to make the follow
tons.
STREET COMMITTEE:
This is a very important commit
tee for to 1t is intrusted the main
tenance of our streets and side
walks, the building of new streets
and the supervision of the work OF
the Street Commissioner. The up
keep and construction of any new
sewers also comes under the work OF
this committee. AS there is nothing
that impresses the visitor more than
we'll kept streets, l hope that this
committee will give their attention
particularly to this item. Well kept
streets also reflect the general pros
perity of any town.
If this committee finds it neces-
sary to hire additional help, l hope
those greatest in need will receive
their first consideration.
WATER COMMITTEE:
Everyone knows the importance
of this committee and any negli-
gence on their part which would
result in a shortage of water, es-
pecially during the salmon canning
season, would be little short of a
disaster for the Town.
If we are not successful in secur-
ing Federal aid in charging our
| present water system, recommend
that this committee at once secure
necessary data which will enable us
to proceed with this work on oul
own resources.
l also recommend that the COM
mittee at once secure necessary in
formation regarding the expense OF
installing a filter system.
In case of a break in the water
pipes, | feel that same should al
ways be repaired AT ONCE regard
less of the day or hour, so that the
Toup NAV he denriVed Of water for
as short time as possible.
also recommend that an ordi-
nance be drawn prohibiting the run
ming of water taps to prevent freez-
ing and also prohibiting the waste
of water at any time. An offender
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-04-27

when convicted should be fined.
Until such time as we can en-
large our present system, this COM
mittee should at all times exercise
a supervision over the use of water
to the end that a good supply may
be at all times available for the use
of the public, our industries and for
fire protection.
HEALTH AND POLICE.
To this committee is allocated the
important duties of guarding the
public health and to proper policing
of our Town. I recommend that this
committee should satisfy itself that
requiring vaccination are enforced.
also feel that in case of an epide-
mic, such as the one we are pass
| ing through now, a more rigid
quarantine should be enforced and
so stamp out the disease as soon as
possible.
l also feel that an inspection of
all homes not having direct sewer
| connections should be made and il
found in an unsanitary condition,
steps should be taken to correct
same
l also recommend that the night
Waterman should be required to
cover a Larger portion of the town
than has been done heretofore.
Every taxpayer contributes to his
salary and should share in the pro-
lection Many complaints are con-
stantly being made regarding the
noise made by drunks on Front
street during most of the night. This
is not to be tolerated and unless
stopped, other methods than those
now in use will be adopted.
FIRE COMMITTEE:
l think one of this committee
should attend each meeting of the
Fire Department and that the com
mittee as a whole should cooperate
with the department so that we may
have as great a degree of fire pro-
lection as possible.
l wish this committee to keep it
self satisfied that all the equipment

CAREFUL PROGRAM

The best assurance of success in
any undertaking is a carefully pre-
pared program. We believe that the
majority of Wrangell citizens will
feel confidence in the program
which Mayor C. P Kirkland has an
nounced to be his hope of directing
during the coming year in the ad-
ministration of the cfty's business.
While the mayor has no vote except
in case of tie, it is believed that the
council members approve of his
plans generally and will give him
the needed support to carry them
out.
Following the organization meet
ing the mayor read the following
letter of recommendations:
To the Members of the Wrangell
Common Council
Gentlemen:
We are about to enter upon
another year of work in administer
ing the affairs of the Town of
Wrangell. l am sure that you all
must feel the real responsibilities of
your positions as councilmen and
will endeavor, to the very pest of
your ability, to merit the trust that
the people of Wrangell have reposed
in you. While there Is no financial
remuneration connected with our
work, the satisfaction Of doing a
hard job we'll should amply repay
us for our efforts. In order to do
our work as efficiently as possible.
a close cooperation at all times is
absolutely necessary. l do not mean
by that, that l wish you to be a
council of Yes" men for as such
you would be of no practical use TO
the Town. Whenever a problem pre-
sents itself, let us discuss it anG eX-
press our views freely but in a
friendly manner and let us always
stand by the wishes of the majority
We have much work before -

lar or special meeting of the coun-
ell. Personally I intend to be at the
City Hall from l to lis b. m. dailv
except Saturday and will be glad to
see anyone on any matter regarding
the city business.
Salary Increases
| feel that owing to the increase
in the cost of living generally and
also inconformity with the spirit
of the NRA that we should make an
increase in the salary of all civic
officials as | feel that they are all
under paid at present.
l request that the Finance Com
mittee give this matter careful con-
sideration and present their recon-
mendations at the earliest possible
moment.
Personally. l do not think that
we could secure the services of any
one who would serve the city bet
ter or more faithfully than the pres
ent staff and | therefore recommend
their reappointment.
Library Appropriation
Regarding the Public Library
feel that the City Clerk should be
relieved of this work and the Town
should make an appropriation of
$500 per month for the services
of a librarian. l also believe that
the library should be closed every
evening at p. m.
l sincerely trust that you will
give my recommendations and sug-
gestions consideration as they are
made only after careful study of the
local situation and in what l believe
the best interests of the taxpayers
of Wrangell.
Respectfully submitted,
c. p. Kirkland. mayor.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-04-27

Mr.. Wellons has at all times shown
keen interest in the welfare and
success of this utility and I do not
believe we could secure a better
man for the plant. As you will note
| have eliminated the Light Plant
Committee this year as | feel that
with a competent manager there is
no need for such committee The
committee was first named before
the present plant was constructed
and served very we'll in getting the
utility started and running smooth
ly. l feel that the manager is per-
fectly competent to handle the bust
ness of the plant and will make a
monthly report to the council at its
regular meeting.
Distribute Towns Business
feel that | must insist on a fair
and equitable distribution of the
Towns business among the various
merchants, machine shops and oil
companies. To this end I recommend
that all purchases of supplies be
handled by requistion. same to be
O.K.'d by the chairman of the com
mittee for whom the purchase is
made together with the City Clerk
who will keep suitable records to
see that the business is fairly dis
tributed.
Mayor at City Hall Daily
In the past, many of the council
members have given altogether too
generously of their time in the dis
charge of their duties and often to
the detriment of their own bust
ness. l feel that great deal of this
work can be delegated to the City
Clerk. trust that the public will
appreciate the fact that our coun-
cilmen are in business and that they
will stop the practice of bothering
them during their working hours
with matters pertaining to civic af-
fairs. The place to discuss the City's
business is at the council meetings
and not on the street corners. The
public is invited to attend any regu-

with prices of spot deliveries advanc-
ing more rapidly than futures.
Winter wheat gained 3 to 4 cents

Mills were the principal buyers and
absorbed practically all of the offer

from Kansas City were large, and
elevator stocks we're further reduced.
In all, the wheat market has had
an advance of about 515 cents a
bushel in recent days and the tech
nical position is regarded as some
what impaired. Since outside buying
is not yet broad enough there is con-
siderable hesitance in following the

After ascending to new high-price
levels for the current movement, Sep
tember contracts at Chicago closed at
Sl.05H a bushel. compared with 8lA
cents year ago.
Diminishing receipts, together with
an active cash demand, is a strength
ening influence in wheat. Action in
the cash markets indicates that short
crops in all grains are beginning to
be realized. One operator says it
seems quite likely that the visible
supply Of wheat, which now is about
$1,000, ,e0o bushels, gradually will de-
crease at least $4,000 900 bushels,
and that on the 1st of July next year
it will be 100000 bushels or less.

FINANCIAL CIRCLES
Setback for New Deal viii
Be Regarded as Bull
ish in Stocks.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

special DlSpaLCn 10 ne 0IaT,
NEW YORK, September 10.-The
financial district. is giving first
thought to politics this week. That
is. the Maine elections. In spite Of
some upsets, there are many who
still believe that las goes Maine, so
goes the Nation"
Although Wall Street is by no
means predominantly anti-New Deal
for there are many stanch ad-
herents below Fulton street, not to
mention sprinkling of Socialists
the majority opinion seems to be
that it would not be an altogether
unhealthful thing for few checks
and balances to be placed upon Con-
greSs in the form of renewed strength
for the opposition.
In fact, a setback to the New Deal
would pretty generally be regarded
as bullish on stocks, on the theory
that it would be reassuring to those
business interests who have found
cause for hesitation in many angles
of the administration program.
In the slight upturn at the close Of
last weeks dealings, the stock mar
ket expressed its relief that, up to
that time at least, the break in a
leading high-priced silver stock still
appeared to be an isolated incident.
An abrupt drop of 20 points, such as
that in United States Smelling, US
ually is weather sign to professional
traders pretty much like sudden
flash of lightning in Summer sky.
If similar flashes follow, it Is the part
of prudence to seek shelter from a
probable downpour.
Two days passed without any ad-
ditional streaks of lightning, and
fear was somewhat allayed. Though
it is too early to assume that the
market is out of danger, it must be
admitted that the action of the gen.
eral list, in the face of the unsettle-
ment in the silver and other metal
shares, was reassuring.
