CONGRATULATIONS

An acute shortage Of transient
rooms in Juneau last night caused
Purser Kon Ericsson Of the steamer
North Coast to turn hotel clerk.
Recent heavy infhixs q people
into the city have placed accom-
modations at a premium and ior
passengers aboard the North coass
scheduled for Decentralization here
it was either a case of tlompins the
rainy juneau streets al night o.
staying in their boat stateroons.
Consequently a large portion Of
the So passengers on the vessel
spent the night in the steamer state
rooms.
According to purser Ericsson CHS
is the first time in his experience
such a situation has occurred.
The lack Of room space in Local
hostelries may be explained Icy the
sudden burst Of travellers as a re-
suit of a three weeks accumulation
caused by the recent steamer t'a-
up. Also plane schedules. which
would remove some people TO Tire
Interior, have been held up by nn-
favorable weather.

TEACHER SALARY
MEASURE FACES
Senate CHANGES
Committee Agrees in Prin-
eipIe, Holds Cost
Too High

Agreement with the principle of
the teachers minimum salary bill
was expressed this week in the Sem
ate when hearing on Representa-
tive Ed Coffey's measure was held
by the Education Committee.
General attitude of Senators, how
ever, seemed to be that the $278,00
added burden which the plan would
place on the Territorial Treasury is
too heavy.
Amendments which will maintain
the salary schedules in the bill
passed by the House but which will
modify the feature requiring the
Territory to shoulder the entire cost
of all teachers salaries were fore
cast by members of the Senate Com
mittee.
Boards Would Share
A plan is being worked out by
which School Boards would be en-
couraged to share part of the added
cost of the salary boost, with reim-
bursement provisions being so ar
ranged that it will be more to the
advantage of the various districts
to comply than not to comply.
The salary scale laid down by the
bill is for a minimum of $1,000 in
the First Division $1,980 in the
Third Division, and $2.100 in the
Second and Fourth Divisions, with
the pay to be increased $45 for each
years service up to ten years.
Members of the Juneau School
Board and the Territorial Board
of Education were among those
heard at the Senate Education Com
mittee hearing
