WHARF PROJECT
on COOK INLET
IS vISUALIzED
Structure on Knik Arm 10
Tap Anchorage Com
meree, Is Claim

A wharf capable of handling all
types of salt water carriers is within
20 days of completion on Cook Inlet,
six miles south of Anchorage, ac-
cording to T. 8. McDougal, an asso-
ciate in the Goose Bay Wharf and
Trading Company, which company
is building the dock.
The wharf which is at the head
of the inlet in Knik Arm is the out
growth of long demand for ade-
quate docking facilities to permit
ocean going craft to contact the
busy commerce of Anchorage. Mr..
McDougal did not state what meas
ures would be adopted to offset the
hazards caused by the great rise and
fall of tides in this section and
which has previously been a draw
back to large vessels plying the
waters.
Mr.. McDougal, who also serves in
the capacity of President OF the
Fern Gold Leasing Company OF
Anchorage, states that the new
landing facilities will provide a so
percent decrease in freight rates be-
tween Anchorage and Seattle.
y McDougall has been connected in
the Cook Inlet section since 1904.
He said his present trip across the
Alaska Gulf on the Baranof was the
toughest crossing he has made in
the II times he has journeyed over
the waters. He is continuing on the
steamer to Seattle from which port
he will travel to Arizona to spend
the remaining winter months.

GENERAL JUMP TN SMENTS
 NOT STARTED
Recent Notices to Property Owners. Were Caused
 By Improvements

Notices sent to property owners during the past few days notifying them of in creased assessments for 1940 do not mean that any gen. eral increase in valuations is being made, Chairman John J. Kilduff of the Board of Tax Commissioners said today. A number of those receiving the notices thought they meant a city-wide revalua- tion.
 MT. Kilduff said that from 600 to 800 notices had been sent out, un- der date of November 30. This is required by law when assessments are being increased. The increases, he stated, are mostly because of ini- provements or additions to property.
 Those who feel that the assess ments levied are too high can ap- pear before the tax commissioners until December 20 to file notice of appeal. They will then be notified to appear before the board of tax review (formerly the board of relieD next month.

BLAME YOUR
 LIVER IT,

If your liver doesn't secrete 20 to 30 ounces of bile every day into your intes- tines-constipation with it's headaches, mental dullness and that "half-alive" feeling often result. So you see how im- portant 1t is to keep bile flowing freelyi And what finer aid could one desire than Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, used 50 successfully for years by Dr. F. M. Edwards for treating his patients for constipation and sluggish liver bile.
 Olive Tablets are unsurpassed in ef- fectiveness because they stimulate liver bile to help digest fatty foods, they tone up muscular intestinal action, at the same time help elimination. Being purely peoe- table, Olive Tablets are wonderful! Test their supreme goodness TONIGHTi 16f, 30f, coz. All drugstores.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-06

There has been no outward de- monstration as a result of the cut- ting off of relief. This was referred to by the council:
 "The apathetic attitude of many persons is based on absence of de- monstrations or other concrete in- dications of actual suffering, which conclusively proves to them that clients cut off from relief are some. how managing to get by without it."

When Relief Runs Out What?
Results Of Ending Help Shown To Be Critical In Toledo

By NEA Service
 Toledo, O., Dec. 6.--What hap pens when an American city closes the spigot on relief to needy u1- employed?
 Toledo has been finding out since Sept, IS, when help for all but critical" cases were cut of the re- lief rolls, and here are the answers:
 About one out of five gets Q job on WPA.
 One out of six manages to get some kind of work, some of 1t only part-time, with private industry.
 About half are left completely unemployed, and the rest drift off where they can't be traced.
 There is no disorder or rioting, but
 A total of 67.4 of those taken oil the relief rolls are found to be in actual need"
 SURVEY DISCLOSES CONDITIONS
 These figures were determined by the Toledo Council of Social Agen- cies--a non-partisan group of pri- vate gencies--through a cross-sec- ton survey of 325N of the cases dropped from the relief rolls.
 Actual need" in the council defin- ition ranges from poverty to imrli- nent starvation, but the degree of starvation can't be classified.
 The study, conducted by Norman Finch, secretary of the Council, gives the first indication of what happens when relief doesn't func- ton. Toledo, the first major city to drop relief in all but emergency cases for any appreciable time, is the unwilling guinea pig for the ex- pertinent in human misery. CRITICAL CASES
 RECEIVE AID
 On Sept IS, when relief was shut of, there were 6068 cases on the rolls, representing about 2.7 persons in each lease" or family. About 2,700 critical cases were kept on for whatever aid could be given and about 2l90 critical cases still are being cared for. The rest shift for themselves.
 About @ fifth of the "ex-reliefers" live on credit. The butcher, the baker, grocerymen and neighbors or individual charities chip in when they find neighbor backed to the wall. The Federal Surplus Commo- dity Corp, has helped greatly and about a fifth are receiving food from this source.
 More than a quarter of the total cases taken from the relief rolls have school age children-about D. 500 of all those affected are under 2l.
 "RELlEFERS" TELL
 OWN STORIES
 Here's a cross-section from the "ex-reliefers" themselves that gives an idea of how they are making out:
 T want to get a job on the WPA sewing project" says Mrs. J. O. But the doctor says l don't get enough to eat. My blood's too thin to work"
 We sold our living room suite for $l0 to get money to feed our youngsters while I was in the hos- pital," says a mother of nine just returned from the hospital, where she underwent a Caesarean opera ton. Staying in bed is the best way to keep warm 6 lollypop costs only a penny and keeps away hunger"
 T got two days work with WPA in October" says a one-eyed man.

larger cities in Ohio into difficulties over the same problem, only Toledo is in more critical spot. The crisis came in Toledo when real estate tax for relief was defeated at the polls in September, and the city found itself with relief debt of around $l,000,000 and $l40,000 cash on hand to run to the end of the year.
 FEW PROFESSIONALS"
 ON THE ROLLS
 The survey of the Council of Social Agencies indicated that re- markedly few of those taken from relief rolls were professional re- liefers." Fifty per cent of the names were not on the rolls in 1888.
 Relief Commissioner 0. A. Bene- dict verified the fact that the "re- liefers' were willing to work. We've never had a client refuse york;" he said.
