SECOND PAVING CALL APPROVED
 BY C0UNC|LMEN
New PWA Project to h. clude Lower Front St.
 from Dock to Tram

VIM s1SCV paving PiOJcSt iaoV iii6AAe when the Council authorized the City Clerk to call for bids on an other Public Works Administration loan job.
 This new call will embrace paw ing of Lower Front Street from the City Dock to the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company tram way. and the paving of Calhoun Avenue from the trestle, now under construction, to Main Street.
 Bids will be opened at the Coun- cil meeting on June T. The other PWA street project already is started by the Gastineau Construc- tion Company.
 Only IS Feet Wide
 The Lower Front Street paving will be only Is feet wide at pres ent. This, Councilmen felt, will mean money saving because property will not have to be con- demned immediately to allow for a wider pasage-way, In the mean time, satisfactory deals probably can be consumated with Lower Front Street property owners so that the street may be widened in the future.
 A second important transaction approved was the authorization to purchase police patrol car. The Police Department has had re- peated requests before the Council, and Chief Roy Hoffman has argued that the patrol car purchase will mean substantial saving in taxi fares as well as a better coverage of the whole city by the force. Police taxi fares have amounted to about s75 a month.
 The Council decided to purchase a Ford panel-delivery truck, con- verted with padded seats and a rear-step into a patrol car. The city will pay $879.79 for the car.
 Liquor Bill Okeyed
 Two items, which were forecast in last nights Empire, went through as scheduled. Mayor Isadore Gold stein explained the fish trap wire scheme to be used on the Thane road garbage dump, and the Coun- cil approved, for second reading, the municipal liquor regulations. Neither item caused discussion. Tn connection with the liquor vote, the Council referred to it's police com mittee for study list of IA ap- plications for Territorial liquor .li- censes. The Territorial Board has requested Council opinion.
 The only fireworks" at last nights meeting was caused when a petition, presented by Will Harris and bearing 46 signatures, was read protesting the alleged hiring of to Juneau on city work projects rather than the employ ment of taxpayers and permanent residents.
 Mayor Goldstein was quick and decisive in his firm denial that the facts in the petition were true. He branded the petition as "un- true"
 Only Two Outsiders
 This year I have found that the city has employed but two so-called newcomers as against countless Juneau men, the Mayor said. "One of those newcomers was employed for four days, the other for two. In both cases circumstances prac- tically forced us to use them. They would have gone on direct relief | if we hadn't. But they were only two out of hundreds chosen from taxpayers and Juneau residents
 A plea for numbering of houses and business establishments and the erection of new street sign posts was made by the Juneau Womans' Club. Mayor Goldstein replied that steps already had been taken in that direction and that a full report of the situation would be made at the next Council meet ing.
 Other details included the fol- lowing: Stanley Sutton was award ed the contract of painting the exterior of City Hall; City Clerk A. w. Henning reported that s33,- 900 of the $80,ooo refund city bond issue had been subscribed; and, finally, Fire Chief V. w. Mulyi- hills request for the purchase of 800 feet of fire hose was granted
