WENEEDIT THATMUcH:

The proposed new extension and widennq of Seward Street to the Pacific Coast Dock is certain to be an expensive improvement for the taxpayers of Juneau.
 The City is already heavily burdened with debt Possibly more hun is legally justified The interest on this is q mortgage dgdinst every property owner and tdxpdYer in Juneau, because they have to pdy the freight in the long run which must be added to their cost of living.
 At the present rate of retirement of the municipal interest bearing bonds it will be Yeors before the Sl0 GOO present owners o dbutting properties the pro posed extension ore asking from the community will be retired and to this must be added some thousands of dolldrs in interest
 The community needs q lot of other improve nents for more thun they need this one. Our schools are crowded paving and sidewalks are budly needed in many ports of town the approach and equipment for the projected small boot hcnbor must be construct ed This proposed street extension will delay them just tho much
 Remember thut the oriqnol slOOOO is just the beginning The streets will have to be paved and liqhted and sidewalks constructed. Because of it's location priority will be demanded
 Conceding thd the development is desirable, it is after all a commercial venture Abutting property owners undoubtedly pldn to build dozen or more new shops along the street to rent t profitable figures They surely not giving away valuable property tor nothing. It is the ordinary practice for the promoters of such projects to donate to the community, without any cost the land required to CQrTY out the necessary public improvements. If in the present instance the interested owners desire to show their good faith they should do the same thing. They would then be in position to ask the City 10 do it's shore.
 Most of the sgneTs ot the petition supporting the project doubtless expect to reap some benefits of ddi honal business diverted from other streets 10 the new one.
 The City Council should move slowly in voinu public money 10 did privde commercial ventures and no Councilman who has financial interest in it should vote on the question.
 Let those who are to eat the coke pay for it. A new street may be fine thing. but this one should not be rushed through without some thought. Every tox- payer should have time to think it over adv.

In time of war.
A Government group headed by AS
sistant Secretary of War Louis john
son. obtained commitments from out
standing utility executives yesterday
to place immediate orders for generat-
ing equipment to step up power output
by about 100000 kilowatts.
Military experts had expressed con-
Germ that power shortage might de-
velop if industrial production was in
creased to wartime basis.
The expansion program applies
chiefly to Is manufacturing centers, all
but Birmingham, Ala, in the indus
trial East or Midwest
Utilities executives estimated 1t
Rould result in expenditures of 81
600 100000 in the next two years.
Part of the expenditure will be
financed through the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
The Nations entire power capacity
at the end of 1887 was just over
37.0OO.O0O kilowatts, Federal power Of
flials reported.
Only Start OF Program.
Mr. johnson said the expansion
would be only a start on a still
greater program and expressed belief
other utilities would cooperate.
The 47-year-old Assistant Secretary
of War is the key man in the resur-
vey of defense needs BY law. he is in
charge of advance preparations to mo-
biize industry to meet any wartime
needs.
Mr. johnson is a former American
Legion national commander. In the
World War he was an infantry cap
tain.
An industrious worker. he has
shunned WashlngtOn's social life since
Mr.. Roosevelt named him to his post
l6 months ago Aides report he is at
his desk daily before 8 am. and is
usually there after dark.
A native of Roanoke, Va, and
University of Virginia graduate, Mr.
Johnson's home is Clarksburg. w. Va.
He put aside fourishing law prac-
tice there and at Charleston to tackle
the present task.
Close Cooperation.
Floyd L. Carlisle of Consolidated
Edison Co. of New York acted as
spokesman for the utility executives
when the expansion program was an
nounced. He said the Government and
private concerns have co-operated
closely and not the slightest difficulty
has arisen"
Some other utility men who would
not permit use of their names said
they doubted the program would be as
great as pictured.
+, Expenditure of billion dollars a
year would about double capital ex-
penditures in the utility field for the
last several years.
Some in the industry have blamed
tagging capital expenditures on the
difficulty of new financing because of
uncertainty over the Governments
power policy.
