 Shortage
 This patrol was accomplished by q force of state policemen, short by twersSy-two men of the full statutory limit of one hundred and seventy five. This deficiency in the depart n1ent's personnel is the result of an error in the wording of the legisla- tive act providing funds to offset the increased expenses to the de- partment by the addition of this number of officers.
 The daily patrol average of forty six policemen was also maintained, 1n spite of extensive police work of Oth1r kinds in the state during the 1aonths of July. August and Sep- tember.

While working in the terrific heat several firemen had eyebrows and hair singed but none was burned badly.

 cilman and contractor, in discuss ing the conflasration said that good sized pieces of flaming wood were flying up the street as he came out of his house, and that these fell everywhere and ignited houses and buildings
 He further stated that had it not been for Douglas new water system, in his opinion, much more of the town would have gone. One of the numerous freaks of the fire which apparently skipped over nearby buildings and ignited those farther away was the fact that the new building MT. Nunamaker is constructing for Walter Bacon was not even scorched on the out side, although practically adjacent to the Odd Fellows Hall which. burned to the ground. Inside the incompleted, windowless building several holes were burned through the. second floor where flaming em- bers were blownsaby the swiriing Chanpel wind. s
 The Douglas City Council will meet at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Mr. Nunamakers home,
 Tom Cashen, whose home is ad- Jacent to that of Felix Gray, said that he thought that both his home and the Gray home would burn as both were scorched and embers flying all around. Cashen and others. including Representative Harry Race, threw snow on the roof and also played a garden hose on var ious parts of the house, while en- deavortng to move out bedding and clothing, believing the house would go any minute.
 Likewise Felix Gray and Gordon Gray worked feverishly and suc- fcessfully to save their home, al- though numerous windows broke from the intense heat and sides of the house were badly scorched. Gus :Wahto's house burned to the ground. AS he stood near 1t today he talked of his efforts to salvage some few things, and said that just then all he wanted was a place to lie down. When it was suggested that he come to Juneau and take a rest he declined saying his wife was taken care of and he had already radioed his children at the University of Alaska that the family had suffered no cas- ualties.
 Although the Owl Restaurant did not burn, 1t is said that all food was missing.
