CITY COUNCIL ORDERS RADIO
 LAW ENFORCED
Heavy Fines Possible Ac- ton Taken on PWA
 Bond Issue

Radio interference elimination is to be pushed forward with all the resources of the City of Ju- neau, according to action taken by the City Council in a special meet ing last night. Property owners have hitherto appeared somewhat apathetic about making suggested changes in electric equipment which would improve radio reception in their vicinity, it is said, but steps are to be taken to enforce com pliance with the city radio ordi- nance.
 Instructed to Report
 H. E. Regele, radio interference locater for the city was instructed to report all cases of interference resulting from faulty equipment to the City Magistrate who will in turn issue a warrant for the arrest of offenders, provided that the source of annoyance is not eliminated within ten days from the time of notification
 The ordinance carries a maxi mum penalty of $100 fine, all of which, or any part of which, may be assessed against anyone who fails to comply with the enacted rules and regulations regarding the installation of devices to do away with radio interference.
 Tax Adjustments
 Other activities of the council at the meeting consisted of acting as a Board of Equalization for the last time this year, several adjust ments in tax assessments being made, and passing the necessary legislation providing for the is suance of the bonds authorized by Juneau property owners at the spe- cial election held August 28.
 In order to expedite matters, rules were suspended to permit passage of the ordinance for all three readings in one session.
 It was also decided to request permission of the Public Works Administration for the City to do the preliminary grading for street paving and other items of the projected work, it being felt by members of the council that the city equipment in the way of tools, wheelbarrows and street grader could be used to good advantage and with considerable saving in the total costs of the various pro- jects.
 Issue As Needed
 It was brought out in the course of the meeting that not all of the bonds would be issued at one time, necessarily, but will be issued as each call for bids is made, thus saving a considerable amount to the city in interest on the bonds.
 For $103,O0O in public improve ments, the city will be called upon to repay $80,000 to the government, that sum being divided into 20 annual payments of $4,000 each. Interest on the bonds will be at the rate of four percent.

 REPORT TODAY
Budget Director Said to Have Placed Retirement in Presidents Hands DISAGREEMENT ON
 POLICIES IS CAUSE
Administr a ton s Relief Plans Will Continue with
 Two Chief Aides

HYDE PARK, N, Y. Sept. l.- The resignation of Lewis Douglas, Director of Budget, is believed to be in the hands of President RooSe- welt as the result of the difference of opinion over expenditures for unemployment and drought relief.
 Although it is not officially an- nounced, there are reliable reports Douglas handed in his resignation in a conference with the President on Thursday and it was accepted.
 Disagrcements Douglas has disagreed with the President on some of the Adminis- tration's spending policies. It is well known that Roosevelt has overiuled his Budget Director on several major propositions this year including determination to spend half a billion .dnllars above | the budget for drought relief.
 Budget Balancing Douglas, who resigned from Con gress as a member of Arizona to become Budget Director, made bal ancing of the budget his principal aim and therefore favored policies which will restrict. some Govern ment outlays. He specially opposed Cxpanding activities of the Public Works Administration contending the resulting employment was not great enough to justify the huge expenditures involved.
 Relief Plans
 Despite the reported resignation of Douglas, the President is going ahead with his relief plans. Hop kins and Tugwell, two of his closest aides, are with him, bringing the latest data on unemployment ana drought. There is no sign the President has changed his ideas on relief.
