WHALE BONES ARE
 UNEARTHED AGAIN

When Harry Oids started to dig up his front yard for spring plant ing he found part of the skeleton remains of a whale in the yard of his residence across from the City Hall.
 The history of these particular bones proves to be an interesting one as the result of information received from the Father A. P. Kashevaroff. The bones are about as old as the city of Juneau, the Rev. Kashevaroff stated, and are probably the ones which Dick Will loughby brought from Muir Glac- fer claiming they were the skele- tai remains of a mamouth masta- don The Rev Kashevaroff check ed the report at the time and con- firmed his opinion that the bones were merely those of a whale.
 The whale bones were left on the property of MT. and Mrs John Pryor.
 When Calhoun Street was widen ed the bones which include the jaw bone and some of the ribs ot the whale were covered up, the Rev Kashevaroff said.

OVERCROWDING BAN
DECREED IN ENGLAND
Ministry of Health to Make Prac-
tice Illegal After January
l, 1887.

Overcrowding in residential prem
ises will be illegal in England after
January /, 1887, according to re-
cent announcement Of the minister
of health. Overcrowding will be ap
offense in all areas where the num-
ber of overcrowded families is less
than 100 or less than per cent of
the number of working-claSs houses,
In districts where overcrowding is
more acute, extension of time may
be granted, and authorities were
asked to submit their cases for con-
Sideration.
The standard of overcrowding
adopted for the recent surveys was
too low, members of the National
Housing and Town Planning Council
stated at a recent conference. and
therefore the results are misleading.
The council contended that districts
having an overcrowding percentage
of 2.87 would show 1000 overcrowded
houses out of 1000, If the living rom
had not been counted as a bed room.

mittee of the AngleSey County Coun-
Gil states that 200 houses have been

CARE IS ADVISED
ON REPAIR WORK
Eleven Points to Bear in
Mind Suggested by F. H.
A. Official.

Suggesting that the usual business
precautions should be taken when
making an investment as important
as property repairs or Improvements,
L. r. Gignilliat, jr., deputy admin
istrator of the Federal Housing Ad-
rinistration, recently outlined a num-
Der of steps that home owners and
others may take to serve their
interests and obtain tie best values
available.
when planning any modernization
Job it is advisable to select carefully
the dealer, contractor or builder who
will supply the material and do the
work, to get two or more estimates
before agreeing on prices and to put
the transaction on a strictly busl-
ness basis with written specifications
and conditions" said Mr.. Gignilliat,
who is in charge Of the modernization
program under Title I of the national
housing act.
Mr.. Gignilliat suggested II points
to be borne in mind when ordering
repairs, alterations and other prop
erty improvements. These are:
l. Specify completely, in writing,
the work to be done. outline the
exact work to be accomplished, the
methods to be used and time limit
for starting and completing the job.
Stipulate that all laws and regula-
tions are to be complied with and
that the work is to be inspected and
found satisfactory by the purchaser
before the Job will be considered conn
pleted.
State All Details.
2. Specify completely, in writing,
the materials and equipment to be
used. State all details.
g. Specify price to include all
work and materials and miscellaneous
items, such as permits, etc.
T. See that the work and materials
specified are furnished. Stipulate that
no changes. substitutions or extra
charges will be allowed without the
prior written consent of the buyer,
5 Provide that payment will be
made only when the work has been
satisfactorily completed or after GER
tain stages of it have been satisfac-
torily completed in accordance with
the price set. Require that proper
against mechanics liens. Have a
definite understanding as to guaranty
of satisfactory performance after pay
ment has been made.
6. Be careful not to sign completion
or installation certificate prior to the
actual and satisfactory completion O.
the job.
Deal With Reputable Concern.
7. Deal only with reputable contrac-
tors, dealers. etc. Investigate the
length of time they have been in busi
ness and check with people for whom
they have done work.
g. Consult the Better Business Bu-
reau or local chamber of commerce If
there is any question as to the integ-
rity of the dealer or contractor.
g. If possible, call upon the dealer or
contractor at his place of business to
note the general appearance of his
establishment and to judge his re-
sponsibility and permanence.
10. Obtain two or more bids so as to
get the lowest cash price consistent
with quality. Generally moderniza-
ton loan is for the full amount of the
job Hence the dealer or contractor is
paid in full as soon as he completes
his part of the transaction. For this
reason he should figure his price on
cash basis.
II. If the job warrants it, employ
capable architectural or engineering
services.
