 Had Large First Day Sale

By 2:30 o'clock on Friday after noon of last week 500,0OO Alaska Commemorative stamps had been sold over the counter of the Juneau post office in the short space of seven hours, Postmaster Albert Vile announced.
 The numbers of covers" or en- velopes postmarked reached 150,000 and while it appeared that the Hon. olulu record of 320,000 first-day postmarks would not be reached, at least an excellent showing was as- sured
 Officially opening the sale of the Alaska Commemorative stamp, Act ing Governor E. w. Griffin stepped up to the stamp window at the Ju- neau Post Office Friday and bought a sheet of 50 of the purple, oblong stamps from O. L. Rogers, philatelic agent of Washington, D. c.
 The sheet was inscribed, 'To the Honorable Edward w. Griffin, Act ing Governor of Alaska, with the compliments of Otho l.. Rogers, phil atelic agent, U. s. Postal Depart ment."
 That was the official opening.
 First Purchase
 But eight hours before that, just after midnight, Mrs. Cecil c. Rula- ford made the actual first purchase at the same window from Postal Clerk Ed Giovanetti. Following in quick order, 35 other Juneau collec- tors stepped up to the window and purchased the stamps. The special midnight sale was ordered to accom-

modate collectors who wished to send out large numbers of first day covers.
 Many and varied were the requests sent to Postmaster Albert Vile by stamp collectors all over the blobe. One gentleman, apparently not cer- tain whether Vile spoke an Eskimo or Indian dialect, wrote his requests for first day covers in four different languages.
 Doomed To Disappointment
 Hundreds of writers are doomed to disappointment because they en- closed stamps instead of money in payment for the Alaska stamps Pos tai regulations require that all re- quests for covers be accompanied with cash.
 Forget Addresses
 Others, absent minded in their philatelic anxiety, failed to sign their names and addresses to their letters, so their money will be held until the puzzled collector inquires about his missing stamps. Rogers explained that unanswerable letters are kept in "morgue" in the Phil atelic Bureau in Washington, D. O., until the collectors demand an ex- planation.
 Dealers and collectors sent hund- reds of differently designed covers to be cancelled on the first day of issue at Juneau, but the choice cov- CTS were those which Postmaster General James Farley ordered sent to his personal friends. On expen-

 DiscOuraging Factors
 The street work has been carried on under discouraging factors for the past several weeks. It had been planned at first when dredging started to dump along the pontoon bridge between lower Front street and Shakes island to build a road way for trucks. The dredged mater ial would not hold up for trucks and the project was abandoned. A hopper was built then on the beach in front of the More property which was easily accessible from Wrangall highway, but after several loadings it was held advisable to discontinue using the dredged material at pres ent.
 Under the present arrangement, those directly involved in the mat ter of street building felt much en- couraged over the outlook for good streets at a reasonable price.

HARBOR COMMITTEE DISCARDS PLAN
 TO USE DREDGE CLAY FOR STREETS

A meeting oi the harbor commit tee called Wednesday afternoon by Mayor Hanford was attended by all the council except H. H. Hunger tord. After conferring with Street Commissioner C. H. Lloyd and NJ M. Custard and L. L. Meadows, of the contracting firm now dredging a basin for small boats in tho inner farbor at Wrangell, the committee decided that as the dredged material from the harbor has been found un- suitable for use at present in street fills, to have it stock piled. It is be- lieved that later on as the material hardens through drainage of it's water content, it will make supersr top surfacing for the streets, as it is blue clay which packs like con- crete.
 Gravel Fill
 In the meantime, an agreement was reached for the use of the con tractors equipment to load trucks at the gravel beds near the 4-mile post at Shoemaker bay. The streets were torn up some weeks ago in preparation for the harbor fill, and the council agrees the fill must be- made before snow and colder wealth CT lomes and the gravel fill was de- dided upon to meet the situation
 The council, meeting as a commit tee Wednesday, the city clerk was not present, no minutes were kept and formal contracts were not en- tered into. Instead, by verbal agree ment, the contractors are donat-I ing the use of their three-yard Crescent heavy duty scraper to load the trucks, without charge, unless it is found that by doing so, the har bor dredging cannot be completed in the number of shifts on which the
