Offers to Supply l97 ,000 Feet for Matanuska at
 $l4.25 Per Thousand

The Ketchikan Spruce Mills was low bidder on the second consign- ment of lumber for the Matanuska project. it was revealed today when bids were opened by the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation. The Ketchikan firm bid s1425 a thousand for the l97,00O feet and will be awarded the contract.
 The Juneau Lumber Mills which was awarded the contract for the first ll5,000 feet on bid of $l7.50 thousand, was second low today with an average offer of $16.03 per thousand. The other bidder was c. A. Berg of Anchorage, who bid s29 thousand on certain kinds of lumber. Knutsen Brothers of Wrangell, who were invited to make an offer, wired they would be un- able to supply a bid at this time.
 The North Star, scheduled to leave the States next Wednesday, is ex- pected to pick up the lumber at Ketchikan and at Juneau for trans port to Matanuska.
 The comparatively tow offers made by Ketchikan and Juneau concerns was, attributed by corpor- ation officials to the fact that big percentage of the lumber is already cut and in the yards ready for shipment.

HITLER SENDS CURT NOTE TO
 GREAT POWERS
In Birthday Message De- clares Action Discrimin-
 atory Against Reich ROME IS SURPRISED AT TONE, COMMUNICATION Germans Reserve Right to Make Known Her Posi-
 tion, Note States

ROME, April 20.-A short, curt note to the powers flatly rejecting the League of Nations Councils condemnation of German rearma- ment was President Hitlers birth day gift to himself and the world, made public at Rome today. The note characterized the deliberations as new discriminations" against the Reich.
 The government reserves the right to make known soon her po- sition on different questions touch ed upon in the deliberations" Hit Ter said. "The government sees in the work of the council an attempt at new determinations az aims Germany therefore rejects it in the most resolute manner"
 Rome officials were not surprised at the arrival of the note but were surprised at the curt. sharp tone taken by Hitler British officials were away for the week end and the note was forwarded here
 Strengthened by manning the French steel ring along the border, now nearing completion, Rome of ficials disclosed what they called the biggest annual recruiting of aviators ever held in the world, as applications poured into the air ministry for the 1900 pilots posts. Four thousand seven hundred spe- cialists and mechanics were notified preliminary to temporary recall to service next month.

SCHOOL BUDGET
 1. OF s75,189.18 IS PRESERVED
Raise of $l0,823.58 Call ed for as Vim Presents
 Figures to Council

A budget of $75,189.18 to oper- ate the two public schools of the city during the school year, 1885, 36 was presented the City Coun- cil last night by Grover c. Winn School Board member. The Coun- cil received the list of proposed expenditures and will study il pending vote on acceptance al the next meeting.
 The 1935-36 estimate shows an increase of S10.823.58 over this years costs. However, about hall of this amount is refundable from the Territorial Board of Education so, if the budget is approved, the city actually will be paying an in- crease of $5,5l8.28.
 Increases along three major lines forced the budget boost. MT. Winn explained Hiring of two new teachers, furnishing of free text books, and needed repairs" to the Grade School building are the three items.
 Need Two More
 MT Vim showed that at least two additional instructors, one ir both the Grade and High School are needed. He said that, on the average, attendance figures are raised about ten per cent each year He explained that already teachers are overtaxed, and that at least l25 new students are ex- pected to enroll next year. These two new instructors, if hired, will add $2,480 to the budget.
 The second new item to boost the expense costs is the decision to give free text books. Hereto fore, pupils have purchased their own books. But the last Territorial Legislature allowed municipalities a 70 per cent refundable account on all purchases of new books. It is estimated that the new books will cost sl,000 here next year. The city's share will be only $500
 The third detail-repairs to the Grade School building-adds most to the city's share of the proposed budget MT. Winn explained that weatherstripping of all windows and installation of new window frames are needed in this structure Furthermore, repairs to the heating plant are necessary, he said.
 Wouic Repair Room
 To allow for expansion, a room which has never been completed for use in the Grade School = should be prepared for occupancy. This brings total cost of $6,1l0 for building repairs. MT. Winn pointed out that this extra expense of maintenance to the city, $6,114, more than offsets the total increas- ed amount to the city, $5,5l8.28.
 Small wage raises in both teach ing and janitorial staffs, the hir- ing of a full time secretary for the superintendent, additional library facilities, and added equipment make up the other items in the raised budget.
 A. B. Phillips, superintendent of Juneau schools, aided MT. Winn in the budget preparation.

COUNCIL GIVES
 | PAVING AWARD TO LOW BIDDER
Gastineau Construction Company Gets Contract
 for II Street Blocks

After having it's low bid turned down a week ago by the City Council because it was held to be too high. the Gastineau Construc- ton Company was awarded the contract to pave Il blocks of down town streets last night by the Council.
 This action came after E. J. Bowling and Hans Berg, associates in the contracting firm. had pro- tested against the Councils initial order in refusing the bid.
 The City Fathers did not make a blanket acceptance of the com pany's original bid In resembling their previous action, they insisted that the company's bid be accepted, providing that Public Works Ad- minis .ration officials did not reject it and providing that the con- tractors give the city credit for free crushed rocks furnished by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company.
 Rcck May Aid
 This free crushed rock, the offer for which was made by Mine Sup erintendent L. H. Metzgar after the city had turned down all bids Ia week ago. is expected to save several hundred dollars: The Gas tineau Construction company's or ieinal bids for II blocks of street paving was s33,745. This was about ten per cent higher than the City Engineers estimate.
 To Call Bonds
 Another. important Council &C., tion was the decision to give a two-wesk public notice that s3o,- eco of callable Juneau school bonds new paying 6 per cent interest would hc taken up and re-issued at 4 per cent. Present holders of the bonds would be given prefer ence cn purchase Of the new issue. Another ,000--sewer bond5- will be treated in the same manner in September if the school bond at tempt is success.
 Councilmen estimated that about $500 will be saved by the lower ing of the interest on the bcndJ. The public notice will call for voluntary returning of the 6 per cent bonds to the City Hall by May IT.
 A third action was the accept ance of the complete audit of the citys books completed by the Wal lis s. George and Company. Aud itor James c. Cooper, in presenting his report, said that he found that the city had two peaks of income, in March and September, and that the heaviest expenses were noticed in the summer. Heretofore, it has been necessary for the city to bor- row money to carry it over the summer months.
 MT Cooper suggested that an attempt be made to have the Ter ritory advance all or a portion of the $40,000 school fund early in the year. If this attempt is suc- cessful, about S70O in interest would be saved, he said.
 The application for a two-auto- mobile taxi cab stand at Triangle Place where Franklin and Front Streets meet were denied to M s. Rhodes.
 The Juneau City Band was voted $25 monthly for expenses.
