COUNCIL CANNOT GIVE STREET
 LIGHTS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS

(Continued from Page 0ne) city light plant, submitted the fol- lowing plant report for October:
 At the close of the cannery sea- son the 120 h.p. engine was inspect ed and it was found necessary to replace all of the main bearings which was done and the engine re- aligned, some difficulty was en- countered in the re-alignment, but at the present time the unit is run ming satisfactorily.
 "The Institute transformer in- stallation was completed, with the larger transformers installed in the building which is giving them bet ter service.
 Six meters were installed, mak- ing it necessary to order 10 more so as to replace our stock. There are at present several customers being served at a flat rate that should be on metered service. One cut off.
 We have received several re quests for the restoring of street lighting in the north end. They were referred to the council for action.
 "We also have received com plaints relative to radio interfer- ence. It will be necessary to pass a suitable interference ordinance, so that pressure can be used on the offenders to compel them to install suitable filters or suppressing de- vices.
 An inspection was made on the pole in front of the Cold Storage and it was found to be in dan gerous condition. A pole should be installed at the end of the McCor- mack warehouse and the power transformers moved. This will thereby serve the dock with better power. The cost will be approxi- mately s150. We ask that this ex- penditure be approved.
 We are compiling load data so that this information will be avail able to the lighting department to determine the growth of the towns power requirements and to estimate the size of the unit required to serve the town in the future."
 Following the reading of the re- port, the councilmen decided it was beyond their jurisdiction to furnish free street lights outside of the city limits, and the matter of submit ting to the residents of the district north of town, plan to pay nominal sum for street lights, was left to the plant manager
 The light pole in front of the Cold Storage was ordered removed according to MT. Wellons' recom- mendation.
 Discussion as to radio interfer- ence terminated in the decision to ascertain if an interference detec- tor could be rented from a munici- pality owning one, so that sur vey could be made in Wrangell pre- liminary to passing radio ordin- ance.

ATTENTION, BACHELORS!

Alaska is losing some of its TO- mantle appeal to the women of the states, and the back-to-the-land movement, so noticeable during the depression, is not so successful as press reports have indicated. At least this might be an interpreta- tion placed on conditions along the coast from letters received by The ketchikan Chronicle.
 But romance is not deadl Far be it from so. And bachelors re- siding in this vast northland may rejoice that they are being singled out as the soul-mate for a forlorn woman pining away in one of sun ny California's many shelter camps," or brayely facing alone the trials attendant upon operation of farm in the Pacific northwest.
 Three women-widows all-haYe written to The Chronicle, letters in which they make a frank appeal to upstanding Alaskans to join them in holy wedlock for the remainder or their days. Companionship Is the keynote of these earnest ap- peals as none carry even the slight est inference that the man must be wealthy-a repugnant inference so common in letter appeals to Alas kans in previous years.
 Urbanites Disdain Country
 One of the three women, resi- dent of Tracyton, Washington, re- yeals that eligible men in the cities lack a fondness for things bucoIic and prefer the urban life. She says, "The city men down here are not interested in country fife and l know there must be some good man in the north who is lonely and would appreciate a home and good woman"
 This womans description of her self is as follows: T am 55 years young, very active, practical, 9 good manager, homeloving, do not smoke or drink. Born in Tacoma, lived in Seattle S0' years, retired nurse. My five acres need a man to take care of them. 1 cannot carry on alone. l want man who does not drink, healthy and clean liy- ing, ambitious, good principIes more essential than good looks. Amerl- can protestant about 55 years old"
 The farm, she says, consists of five acres of good, rich soil, good timber, water and small house." Tracyton is four miles from Man cite, Washington, near the Brem- erton navy yards and an hours ride from Seattle.
 No Time for Triflers
 "I am greatly in earnest" she adds, and have no time for tri- Hers. If there is some good man coming down this fall who can help brighten up the long, winter days, both financially and with good company and enjoy home life, we can have a good Christmas dinner, home-cooked, together"
 Now Californias widows issue their call. One is 37 years old, the other 45. Both have "heard there are many good men in Ketchikan looking for good wives.'
 Residing at present in a camp for women near Pacific Grove, these women say that they are used to their own homes, and would prefer

ALL ALASKA REVIEW

A commercial club committee in vestigating a skating pond for Pet ersburg has prepared charts show ing the possibilities of having a pond 40 feet wide and 150 feet in length by merely plugging up a portion or break in the wall which was built by the American Legion several years ago back of the gym nasium. It was also shown that by making this wall about a foot or two higher that it would be possi- ble to have a skating rink about 50 feet in width by 150 feet in length at an estimated cost of $50.
 J. J. Zerbetz of the Central Mar ket at Ketchikan. showed in his window some oysters in the shell caught near Ketchikan. For several years now oysters have been taken in this vicinity. While planted, usually they have been kept pretty well cleaned out by people having local knowledge of where they grow. So far as known there is no law in Alaska to protect spawning oyster beds. Before such an indus try can be made to thrive it is said it will be necessary to extend sorle kind of protection to those inter ested enough to try and raise them for the market, according to a re- cent issue of the Alaska Fishing News.

running on Wednesday noon and
will continue to grind out the spe-
cial issue "a hours a day-without
a stop-until Saturday morning.
This difficult task could only be
accomplished with the assistance
and cooperation of the compositors,
printers, stereotypers, pressmen and
mailers of the Daily Worker.

rests with the Party and mass or
CARNATIONS in the field whose Job
it is to place the special May Day
edition of the Daily into the

who never before read the paper, at
the same time utilizing this issue
to build the regular circulation CT

Toward this end every district of
the Party during the past six weeks,
through its sections, units and frac-
tons in the mass organizations,
has been modifying for the dis
tribution of the DAILY" this COM
