HydrO-Electric Power
In 1925 the Associated Gas and
Electric Company began to operate its
plant at the mouth of Hoye's Run, fed
by the water of Deep Creek Lake. The
company plans to build a second dam
at tie River falls below Ginseng Run
and a power plant above Friendsville.
A 90-foot dam here will food the val
ley of the Youghiogheny five miles,
forming a lake even more beautiful
than Deep Creek Lake. It will radi-
cally change the topography and eco
nomic life of the old Sainging Ground
and will make this a favorite resort
for tourists and the site of summer
cottages.

FAIR BUILDING AS RECRE ATI0N CENTER PLANNED
Proposal Calls for Swim ming Pool, Rifle Range
 Other Activities

A proposal to develop vast re- creational center at the Southeast Alaska Fair grounds was presented at the regular session of the City Council last night in the City Hall.
 The recreation plan, submitted by Councilman G. E. Krause, would entail an expenditure of approxi- mately $25,000 to outfit the Fair Building with swimming tank, roll CT skating rink, bowling alley and rifle range.
 According to the Coun ci lman, tentative plans have been agreed to by w. s. Pullen, Secretary, and John F. Mullen, President, of the Southeast Alaska Fair Association.
 Turn Building Over
 These plans would have the Fair Building turned over to the or ganization which sponsors the out fitting of the building at no rental for either the ground or the pres ent building. The only proviso would be that the Fair Association be allowed the use of the building for four days every year for the Fair The building, under regula- tions of the Fair, will be turned over to the city at the time all current ob..gations are liquidated.
 Details Given
 Under details announced by Councilman Krause, approximately $6,000 would be spent on a swim ming tank, $4,000 for sheeting the building, $5,000 for heating plant and $10,000 for miscellaneous ex- penses. The pool would be 40 by 60 feet, the rifle range 100 feet long, the skating rink circling the 100 by 200 feet building, and the bowling alleys of regulation length.
 The proposal will be taken up at the next meeting of the Permanent Swimming Pool Committee, Coun- cilman Krause stated.
 The City Council did not take action, but the members favored the idea in round-t table discussion.

 A demand for municipal owner ship of the electric light plant in Juneau was brought up at the session.

MATTERN CAN'T
 TAKEOFF LOADED FROM PAA FIELD
Must Have Re-fueling Ship Say PAA Pilots -Soviets
 Lost on Alaska Side

Pacific Alaska Airways pilots ar- irving here last evening from Fair banks at the controls of the Electra transport, explained Soviet Searcher Jimmy Mattern's need for refuel- ing plane for his big Electra.
 Pilot s. E. Robbi-es stated that. though the PAA fielc. at Fairbanks is large enough to permit takeoff of the airliner's regular commercial planes, and though Mattern's plane is of the same type, it is slightly lowerpoWered in proportion to it's weight, and when fully loaded with the extra fuel needed for the ex- tended searching flights, would find the runway too short to permit its taking off.
 Refueling in Air
 For that reason, Mattern plans to use the big Ford plane, flown north by Garland Lincoln, as a re-fueling ship, Mattern taking his ship off partially loaded, then having his fuel tanks filled to the top from the other plane. It is possible that Mattern may have the re-fueling ship meet him part way out of Fair banks at times to re-fuel him, thus adding to his cruising range on the search. Mattern's plans till his takeoff yesterday, however. were in- definite.
