and set upright on its floats once
more on the ramp in front OF the
hangar-but in sorry plight; its
wings broken and tail assembly
smashed.
Hangar destroyed
Damage to the plane is estimated
at about four hundred dollars,
while the hangar building is in al
most irreparable condition. AS the
hangar roof went fitting by on
the breast of the wind, it neatly be-
funneled the boiler on the pile
driver standing behind the hangar.
Other principal sufferers along
the waterfront were: The Juneau
Commercial Dock, where the wind
first broke in the large loading door,
then beloved out and ripped off
the corrugated iron roof, from in
side. y
Across Willoughby Avenue, the
Juneau Motor Company besides hav-
ing one of the large plate glass win
dows of it's showroom blown in, saw
the total destruction of the recently
added parking shed adjoining the
main building. Jagged scraps OF
metal roofing, snarled timbers, and
shattered glass, all remaining of the
70 To- fhic ro1nrrli1lO
scattered over all the empty lot be-
hind the garage, across Willoughby
Avenue, and mingling with the flot-
sam pounding on the shore of the
bay.
Dock Damaged
Femmer'S Dock did not entirely
escape the onslaught, either, several
newborn openings showing in the
metal roof covering the dock ware
house this morning. The old PAA
ramp, ordinarily moored along the
length of Keeny's Float, near Fem
mer's, broke entirely loose and went
travelling during the storm, finally
being captured and lashed to the
face of the City Dock, at the other
end of the bay-a skiff and pom
toon-boat still aboard it, having
ridden safely throughout the storm.
Although they were tossed around
a great deal-small boats suffered
little damage. Only one was reported
missing.
Shortly after the city was plunged
into darkness with the failure Of
powerlines on the mountainside, the
top layer of roofing paper on the
Elks Club building gave way and
carried across Franklin street,
smashed windows in DR.. j. w.
Bayne's office on the top floor of
the Triangle Building.
Unroofed
Other roofs losing their paper in
the fury of the storm were those of
the Valentine Building, Goldstein
Building, and st. AIMS Hospital.
Windows were smashed in parts OF
the city. Nearly forty small panes
were blasted in the Coliseum Apart
ment building alone. Among the
commercial establishments losing
large windows were. The United
Food Company, the lynda Hotel,
Montgomery and Ward, the office
of James Cooper and Keith Wildes,
on Seward street, the Snap Shoppe,
the Juneau Drug Store, Juneau Lii
quor Company, Pay'n Takit, Juneau
Bakery, the White Spot, Empire
Printing Company, Fred Wendt's
Paint Store, Alaska Music Supply
Company, and Lu Listens Sign
Shop.
Large patches of shingles were
torn from the roof of the building
housing Lu Listens shop. A large
mass of corrugated iron and lum-
Der, ripped from the front of the
building on Second street occupied
by Bert Caros bottling works was
carried down the street and broke
one of the large panes of plate glass
in the show room of the new Light
Company building.
Windows Smashed
Besides losing the top layer of its
roof, the Elks Club suffered a broken
pane in one of its ballroom windows.
