The question being raised at the meeting of the city council as to whether the city had the right to furnish fire fighting equipment outside the city limits, the clerk was instructed to write to the Juneau and Ketchikan fire departments to ascertain how these towns handled the matter.
 The chief of each town very kind ly answered the Wrangell query. "The City Council of Juneau, wrote Chief V. W, Mulvihill, twill not permit our trucks beyond the city limits, unless call is just right out of the city, and there might be dan ger to property owners in the city.
 We have a special permit to take one truck with ten men to make calls to Douglas, in case that we are needed there at any time, but while the truck is out, the other one is ready with crew standing by for any calls that might come in,
 "We have at times, taken chem icals out the road on private car to give assistance, but the city feels that is is the property owners who keep up the Fire Department by their taxes and they are entitled to all protection that can be given them.
 we have your letter of Septem- Der which refers to fire apparatus leaving the city limits', wrote Chief Stanley w. Adams of Ketchikan,
 This is rather Q hard problem

The City Council, through a waiY- Ter signed by each member, changed it's regular meeting for October to last Saturday night, instead of the following Thursday. This action was taken in order to have a council meeting before the departure of Mayor F. G. Hanford on a business trip to the States. The full council, Mayor F. c. Hanford, Councilmen Campbell Gunderson, Cunningham, Mcbride, Hansen and Hungerford, were present. Others in attendance were L. B. Chisholm, city clerk. D. c. Anderson and a Sentinel reportea, spectators.
 H. Wellons, city light plant op- orator, sent word that he could not be present but would mail a copy of his monthly report to each coun- cil member.
 The finance committee reported claims for the month against the light department as being S3,962.00 and against the general fund at $4432.OO These, were voted to be paid with the exception of one bill which was turned over to a special committee for investigation as be- ing higher than the contract price. City revenues for the month of Sep tember were $2926.4I from the light plant and $2781.9O from the general fund source.
 Lower Interest Rates
 An investor willing to assume the Fairbanks-Morse company revenue certificates of the city light plant at a rate of interest which would save the city $500 year, was reported by Mayor Hanford The council viewed the matter with caution and asked the mayor to confer with Fairbanks Morse during his trip to Seattle as to the possibility of a lower interest rate from that company.
 Playshed Bids
 Ernest C. Anderson was found to be high bidder at $342 for the play shed at the edge of the city hall property. Only one other bid, that of Ken HalVOrsen, at $50, was re- ceived.
 The council voted to accept MT. Anderson's bid, after discussion re- vealed that the lumber in the play shed, 8x8 posts and 8x8 timbers, was too light for any use that it could be put to by the city at pres ent. It is estimated there are be- tween eight and ten thousand feet of lumber out of which probably eight thousand feet may be salvaged.
 The galvanized iron roof has ney- CT been painted and although in use but ten years, was declared to be in much worse shape than similar roof ing more than twice as old at the A. P A. cannery which is now be- ing sold at 90 cents per sheet.
 Cunningham, who favored retain ing the material for city use, in the end cast his vote, which made it un-

 Unsanitary Conditions
 4 letter from Mrs. P. c. MCCOr- mack protesting the filth conditions of the premises at some of the cab ins belonging to the Patenaude es- tate on Second street and the fact that little children living in one of he cabins were permitted to play naked in the streets, was referred to the health and police committee for action. The mayor reported other unsanitary conditions brought to his attention that day on Indian Posses sion lands off lower Front Street. The health and police committee was instructed to take drastic action in all unsanitary cases.
 The building and maintenance committee, by Gunderson, reported that the gym addition for the new heating plant was coming along sat- isfactorily Need of shingling of the gym was noted and he was authOri- zed to have the more urgent shing- ling done and to ascertain cost of complete shingling.
 Hansen, chairman of the harbor committee, reported dredging had started on the small boat basin, and told of the need for more signs on the breakwater and of winter plans for the city floats.
 The water committee had nothing to report The fire committee re ported two fires for the month. In this connection the clerk said that C. ". Miller, director of Wrangell Institute, had stated if a bill were made out in the amount of $50 for fire department services at the re- cent Institute fire, he would see that it was put through the proper channels.
 Due to the absence of c. H. Lloyd, street and water commissioner, the council did not take up any prob lems connected with street improve ments.
 Good Fill Material
 The mayor stated that he had ex- amined the material being nrLed Dy the dredging outfit from the har- bor floor, and although some citizens were skeptical of it's use for street fills, in the mayors opinion, after the top slime had been removed, he did not see how anyone could want better fill.
 The mayor told of comforting while in Juneau recently, with J. J. Con nors, Collector of Customs for Alas ka, in respect to that departments sharing the expense of building a seawall and filling in Stikine avenue for the portion of the waterfront adjoining the Custom house in Wrangell.
 The street committee was author ized to contact an engineer and have estimates made of such a project for both a rock wall and log cribbing.

SURATT MADE WELT ARE ACT
 AT WRANGELL

Richard suratt. United States Commissioner, has been appointed Agent for Wrangell by the Alaska Department of Public Welfare it was announced Tuesday 6y Director W. B, Kirk at Juneau.
 Under the recent legislature. the Alaska Department of Public Well fare was established to take oyer the old Age Assistance work which had formerly been done by the Gov ernor's office and commonly referr- ed to as old Age Pensions.
 Dollars Matched
 This change was made in order to give Alaska opportunity to cooperate with the Federal Government in the Social Security Act Under this Act. the United States Government matches dollar for dollar Of Terri torial money up to $3O per month for care of the aged Prior to July. 1887, all the money expended for the aged was from the Territorial funds and was heavy drain upon the taxpayer.
 Under the new organization, agents have been designated over the Ter rtory to carry out the work of the department. This includes accepting Applications for Old Age Assistance and making necessary investigations. Twenty-one agents were designated for Southeastern Alaska
 Assistance For Aged
 According to the new law, the qs- sistance granted is for the needy aged who have attained the age of 65 years or over, who are citizens of the United States, have resided in the Territory five years out of the last nine years immediately pre- ceding filing of the application, and who have not made a voluntary as- signment of their property for the purpose of obtaining assistance.
 In order to protect both the aged person and the taxpayer, the De- partment of Public Welfare must satisfy itself through an investiga- ton that the applicant is in need of assistance before such assistance can be granted.
 Residence and Citizenship
 The old law emphasized residence and citizenship. An aged person was required to furnish proof of citizen ship through certificates of natural ization. He was also required to fur nish uncontrovertible proof of resi- dence. The new law requires in ad- dition to these two, proof of age through such documents as a birth certificate, church records, pass ports naturalization certificates, army or navy records, licenses issued by the Steamboat Inspection Ser vice, or other official licenses, i'- surance records, homestead records, trapper's licenses, employment re- cords, hospital records, entries in family Bible, lodge records, voting registration prior to 1880, or any other official documetn of applicants age.
 Those desiring to make appliea- tions will facilitate the work of the Department of Public Welfare if they will be careful to bring these proofs to the agent at the time they are applying for assistance.

Bank To Reduce Rate
 Towns Red Warrants

Mayor Hanford, at the meeting of the city council Saturday night re- ported that it was possible to get lower interest rates on three red warrants in the sum of $100O each which are held by the Bank of AL aska at per cent.
 Reduce Interest
 The Redmens lodge, he stated, had a fund of $400O for investment which in lieu of the two and three per cent postal savings and general run of government bonds, the trus- tees wish to invest in the towns red warrants and are willing to take them over at per cent. The bank was willing. said Mr. Hanford to reduce two of the warrants to per cent interest if the town would pay off the third one.
 In the discussion which followed 1t seemed to be the consensus that despite the saving effected it would be poor policy to take the loans away from the bank. No definite action was taken, however, beyond instructing the clerk to pay off one warrant.
 Red Warrants
 The system of red warrants Was put into effect many years ago. It was first used when the city con 5tructed the municipal waterworks. Various citizens advanced the money to finance the project and the coun-

Pre-RegistratiOn Jam Is All But
Assured

With the December 81 deadline only
II working days away, clerks in the
motor vehicle commissioners office
looked forward gloomily today to
last-minute jam of applicants seeking
new driving permits.
Harry S. Bullen, supervisor OF the
re-registration required of all Mary
land drivers under an act of the 1897
Legislature, said yesterday only about
$500 applications are coming in daily,
instead of 10000 which should be filed
to avoid the last-minute rush.
Approximately 10000 of the states
100000 automobile operators have
failed to make application for the
new permits, Bullen said. He pointed
out that it would be impossible for his
office to issue licenses before Jan. 3
to persons applying by mail later than
December 20.
Applications post-marked later than
midnight Dec. 81 will be returned to
the senders, Bullen said, with instruc-
tons to appear for the regular exami-
nation. Cost for this will be $3.5O IN"
stead of the 81 registration fee, Bull
