EXCAVATION IS
 STARTED TODAY FOR APARTMENT
Warrack Construction Co. Begins Work on Mrs.
 Decker's Building

A dream for Juneau which Mrs. E. O. Decker, well-knoWn property owner here, has held for many years, was realized today when ex- cavation began on the site of the three-story apartment-store struc- ture being built for her by the Warrack Const ruction Company south of the Nugget Shop on Lower Front Street.
 The letting of the contract for the $4o,00o building, which will aid in alleviating the city's housing problem, was announced last Fri day.
 The building will have 50-foot frontage and will be GA feet in depth. It will include a basement and three stories.
 The first floor will house two modern stores, which are expected to add to the business activity of Lower Front Street.
 Mrs. Decker, as owner and man. ager of the building, will have her private apartment on the second floor. Two other apartments will be built on this floor. The top floor space will house four more apartments. All apartments, except Mrs. Deckers, will include a large living room, kitchen dinette, a bedroom and a bathroom.
 The exterior facing of the struc- ture will be carried out in a mod ern motif.
 The walls will be built Of rein forced concrete. The boiler room also will be constructed of this material.
 Excavation for the basement and the construction of a heavy re- taining wall will probably take two weeks. By that time it is expected that the steel for the walls will ar rive in Juneau. A telegraphic or der for this steel was filed last week.
 Construction company officials said today that the building would be ready for occupancy by October l, and earlier than that if wealth CT conditions are good.
 Mrs. Decker long has had the dream of such a structure. She has been identified with Juneau de- velopment since the days before the gold rush to Alaska. She is the widow of E. O. Decker, who, with brother, operated mer- chandise est b Is h ment in the building which now houses the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company.
 Mrs. Decker was represented in negotiations with the Warrack Construction Company by w. c. Irish, well-known Juneau account ant.
 Plans for the building were drawn by the firm of N. Lester Troast and associates. Associated with MT TroaSt in this firm are Herb Red man and William Manley.

Electricity For
Farmers Will Be
Reduced In Cost
Rural ElectrifcatiOn Program
Should Result In Better
Conditions

On the basis of less than 10 per
cent of American farms having any
sort of electric service-even lights
and most of these truck farms near
large cities, as against SO per cent
of the farms in France, the Rural
Electrification Administration (REA)
figures that the $100,OOO,0OO of WPA
money allotted to it will electrify at
least 10 per cent more.
REA makes no outright grants. 1t
lends money only for extending lines
on 20-year maturity at 3 per cent.
Borrowers may be either a private
power company that will extend serv-
ice to rural districts; a municipal
power project that will do the same;
or farm cooperatives or other organ
lied groups of farmers who will build
lines to town and then contract with
power firms for current.
Ninety per cent of the applications
filed, representing 46 States to Nov.
1, are from municipal power plants
and from farmers themselves. The
other 10 per cent are from big pri-
vate power companies.
In the past, power companies have
charged about $4,000 mile for put
ting lines out to farms, which farm
ers couldn't afford to pay. REA has
shown that the average price of such
extensions, with fair profit, should be
and must be $1,000 per mile. At
$1,000 mile, REA's 100000, 900 will
build 100000 miles of power lines to
farms, an average of three farms to
the mile or 100000 farms served.
No farmer will be permitted to
mortgage his farm for this purpose.
REA takes lien on the line itself.
The private and municipalScompanies
have other assets for security.
REA has been in existence only five
months and has not quite 200 en-
ployees, all stationed in Washington
and mostly engineers and lawyers. IL
maintains no field forces and it has
nothing to do with the wiring of
homes and supply of appliances.

William J. Casey
Heads Commission
To Make Tax Study
Governor Nice Will Seek Relief
Before Calling Extra Session
Of Maryland Legislature

In an effort to disentangle Mary
lands knotty relief problems before
calling an extra session of the Legis-
lature, Gov. Harry W. Nice this week
announced the appointment of William
j. Casey, senior vice president of the
Maryland Trust Co., as chairman of
"a nonpartisan commission to formu-
late a constructive plan of taxation
for enactment at the next meeting of
the General Assembly.
The Governor, advised by legisla-
tive and financial leaders that an i'm
mediate special legislative session was
not needed, took primary steps which
will lead to a clarified view of relief
demands and the drafting of new
tax proposal in accordance with that
view. The measure is to be submitted
to the Legislature in January, before
the expiration of the / per cent gross
receipts tax.
The full personnel of the commits
sion, to be composed of one more
member from Baltimore and three
from the counties, will be announced
later, Gov. Nice said. The nonpartisan
body will gather relief data and hold
frequent conferences with legislative
and financial leaders before finally
recommending a tax program to the
Governor, who will submit it to the
Legislature for approval. The COM
mission also will offer State unem-
ployment solution.
The Governor conferred with Casey,
Attorney General Herbert O'Conor,
Charles Reiman, president of the West
National Bank, and Judge Oscar Lesser
chairman of the State taxing commits
sion. They discussed relief problems,
exchanged views and mapped out ten
tative plans.

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTco

"FEW PEOPLE REALIZE that as
many lives are lost, each year, in
accidents in homes as IN automobile
accidents; and that there are twice
as many deaths from injuries re-
ceived in home accidents as in those
received in industry, DIR. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said recently, in urg-
ing better precautions in the count
less "little" things that make for
safety and greater attention to the
necessary safeguards in the home.
"OUR RECORDS SHOW that
deaths from accidents now occupy
sixth place as causes of death in
Maryland; and that one out of every
fifteen deaths occur in the State is
due to injuries received in an acct
dent of some sort. There were
/, 421 deaths from accidents recorded
in the State, last year. Injuries
received in automobile and other
motor vehicle accidents were respon-
sible for 500 of these deaths that
occur in the State is due to injuries
received in an accident of some sort.
There were 1,421 deaths from acct
dents recorded in the State, last
year. Injuries received in automobile
and other motor vehicle accidents
were responsible for 500 of these
deaths and larger number were due
to injuries received in home acct
dents. Falls which take the heaviest
toll in home accidents We're respon-
sible for 355 deaths. Burns, which
have second place in home hazards
caused 96 deaths. The real signifi-
canoe of such totals is more appar-
ent when we realize that it is esti-
mated that four times as many as
the number who die are permanently
disabled each year from some hap
pening in the home that might have
been avoided if better care had been
exercised.
