CITIZENS TO PROBE
LOSS Of GAS BILLS
Burroughs Group Inquiry
Results From Ban on
Mail Box Use.

Postmaster General Farley's order
of several months ago prohibiting
placing anything but mail in private
mailing receptacles resulted in an in
vestigation being ordered last night
by the Burroughs Citizens Association
regarding loss of gas bills.
Since passage of the regulation, as
sociation members contended, the gas
bills which were formerly placed in
the receptacleS are now put on porcneS
and often lost or blowA away. resulting
in fine by the Washington Gas Light
Co. for not having paid the bills on
time.
L. M. EidsmeSs, vice president OF
the association, was directed by the
Burroughs group to determine the
cost to the gas company If the bills
were mailed.
Harry NJ Stull, chairman of the
Schools Committee of the Federatlcn
of Citizens Associations and member
of the Stanton Park Citizens Assocla-
ton. told the meeting of the growth
of communism in Washington high
schools. Propaganda in the schools is
definitely increasing. he said, especially
In cclored high schools.
Urges More Center Work.
The best way to alleviate this condi-
ton is for Congress to appropriate
sufficient funds to carry on Community
Center work in the city and occupy
the time of the students, he said. He
estimated an appropriation OF $780,
900 should be made. A S42 900 appro-
priation was requested in this year
budget, It was pointed out
In answer to a queStionnalre from
Traffic Director Van DuZer, the asso-
ciation went on record as unanimously
opposed to an all-night parking ban
In its section.
It left to the Police Department the
question of whether all-night parking
should be prohibited on arterial high
ways.
A protest was made against local
park authorities for permitting the use
of the Taft Recreation Center terri
tory by the Gentry Bros. Circus when
community activities were prohibited
from selling or charging admission to
base ball games on the property. The
ground was used yesterday and last
night by the circus.
Other Action Taken.
The association also commended the
Commissioners for recommending
public hearings be held on matters
pertaining to the District; registered
complaint against the high hedges
near street intersections, which pro-
fibit drivers from seeing oncoming
automobiles: asked that a stop sign
be placed on Kearney street at Eight
eenth street northeast; ordered a con-
tribution given the Washington Fourth
of July Celebration Committee, and
announced the Burroughs association
would cooperate with the Michigan
Park Citizens Association in holding
a community celebration, and request
ed the paving of streets and sidewalks
around Taft Recreation Center.
Last nights meeting was the fifth
anniversary meeting of the associa-
ton. Following the business session,

The worker was about ten feet
below the surface of the land, when
his shovel struck a bottle. On ex-
amining it he found that it contained
about seven ounces of metal, in tiny
globules. Local jewellers. who ex-
amined the find, said it would
yield about three ounces of refined
gold, worth approximately 500 at
present prices.
The place where the strike" was
made was apparently part of an
early-day pack trail. Workers dig
ging for sand there have found re-
mains of campfires and the charred
bones of small animals, evidently
used for food by pioneer prospectors.
The bottle of metal, it is believed,
was left near a camp-site by one of
the old-time miners.

A POOR PROGRAM

William A Hesse, Territorial
Highway Engineer and chairman of
the Pioneers Home Building Com
mission, in letter written recently
to the Hyder Herald discusses the
plans for the new building and gem
eral conditions of the Pioneers
Home. He advocates cremation of
the inmates who die in the institu-
ton. The excerpt from his letter on
the subject follows:
One of our big problems here is
the question of burial and | believe
that we should resort to cremation
and get away from this cemetery
fooIishness. We now have over 400
pioneers buried here in three ceme
teries and to say that it is a mess
is putting it mildly. OF course, no
surveys have ever been made and
the records are bad, but we hope to
straighten it out and get started
right; and continue so until some
have had six deaths SO far this
month (November), which empha-
sizes the necessity of burial grounds
which we are now undertaking to
provide"
We believe that a cremation plan
for the old Pioneers is poor one
and we doubt if Mr.. Hesse will get
very far in such a program. The in
mates of the Home are not accus-
toned to that form of disposal of
bodies after life is gone and it is
safe to say that the thought of
cremation would strike horror in the
hearts of the majority of the
men. Their idea of decent burial
at the end of the trail is not by
cremation and their wishes should
be consulted before a change is made
from the established custom of
burial at the Home.

So long as cannerymen can continue
to pack fish at the increased costs
which will result from a combina-
ton of these new regulations and
MIRA in competition with Japanese
packed salmon subject to neither OF
these heavy cost increases the regula-
tions will unquestionably work to
the advantage of Alaskan labor.
II may be assumed, without past
performance justifying the assump-
ton, that congress will act to offset
this discrepancy in the form of a
tariff which will save this already
sadly harassed industry and that
salmon win continue to be packed
from Alaskan waters. That being the
case it behooves Alaska to take steps
to get the maximum of benefit from
the new regulations which abolish
large number of traps and throw the
waters open to the portable types oil
gear.
AT present there are scores of
seine boats which leave the Puget
sound area each year bound for AL
askan waters and manned by Czecho-
Slovakians or Austrians who buy
their supplies ON the outside, live on
red wine, cheese and hard bread and
cigarettes in Alaskan ports They fish
cigaretts in Alaskan ports. They fish
during the cream of the run and
then hurry back to sound waters in
time for the late run, retiring to
their homes in Puget sound towns
for the winter months. To force these
people to maintain residences in AL
aska and to replace the revenues on
trap-caught fish which will be lost,
the first opportunity should be taken
to hand them a nonresident license
fee which will get results.
The majority of Alaskans have
long sought the abolition of fish
traps. 1t now appears that such is
the intention of the present COM
missioner of fisheries. In the minds
of many it is moot question as to
what may result, particularly from
standpoint of market for Alaska
packed salmon.
We are hoping that the packers,
with governmental cooperation, will
be able to work the situation out so
as to maintain a market at increased
prices in competition with foreign
packed products and with competi-
tive food products. If they are able
to do so Alaska has gained much if
she takes advantage of the posi-
bilities.
