WPA WORK WILL
END IN COUNTY
ON NEXT MONDAY
Drastic Slash in Funds-Future
Projects Must Be for Defense;
Savage Dam Not Affected

The Works Progress Administra
ton will "fold it's tent" in this coun-
ty on June 80, due to drastic slashing
of the funds which the Federal Gov
eminent has provided for the next
fiscal year. Of the 200 to $50 people
now on the WPA rolls, all will be
dropped with the exception of twelve
men who are employed at the mu
nicipal golf course club house, and
those who might be transferred to the
Savage River dam project. The ones
at the golf clubs house have until the
last of July.
Most of the WPA workers have in
recent months been employed on road,
street or county sewing projects. At
one time there were over 700 on the
rolls, but over 200 of these were
shifted to the Savage River dam
project, and the remainder have
found employment in defense indus
tries or in other classes of work.
The County Commissioners have
received orders from E. F. Hovermill,
district manager of WPA, to close
the county sewing projects at the
same time. These projects are located
at Oakland and Kitzmiller.
1t was revealed yesterday by the
County Commissioner that there are
eight road projects underway
throughout the county, upon which
there is WPA labor. Four Of these
are under supervision of the County
Commissioners and four under the
supervision of the State Roads Com
mission. 1t was intimated that if pos
sible private employment would be
used to complete the county roads
projects, while it was understood that
the State Roads Commission would
complete the projects under its super
vision.
The four county road projects in
clude one near Bittinger, l mile; the
Mayhem Inn road toward Swallow
Falls and the Dam, 1 mile; the Bert
Smouse road, near Loeb Lynn, l mile;
and the Blooming Rose road, l mile.
The States four projects are those at
Table Rock, 1 mile; at Bittinger, l
mile; Bloomington road, four miles;
and the road from Gortner toward
oaL I VIM, villas
Those who are dropped from the
rolls on June 80 may apply for work
on the Savage River dam. This
project is considered of Importance
in the defense program, as is the air
port at. Cumberland. In Allegany
county the reduction is expected to
affect around 500 workers.
All records of the Oakland WPA
office are being transferred to the
Frederick office, it was stated. James
Pollock, who has been in charge of
WPA activities in the county, will, in
all probability, be given some position
on the Savage River dam project. All
other workers will have to apply
through regular channels for employ
ment there.
All WPA projects in the future
must be for the purpose of defense.

STATE POLICE TO HELP
GONTRUM ENFORCE EDICT
Insurance Commissioner Acts to
Curb Sale or Discharge of Fire
works Throughout State

Given a judicial green light, Insur-
ance Commissioner John B. Centrum
has acted to enforce the fireworks
regulations which will be the states
only pyrotechnic curb until after the
referendum on the statewide anti
fireworks bill in November, 1912.
Gontrum's regulations automatical-
ly became effective Tuesday, twenty
days after their filing with the de-
partment of legislative reference.
Under an enactment of the last
legislature, the insurance commits
sioner sought to curb the sale of all
fireworks except to persons holding
permit, issued by his office, for a
public display.
Judge Eli Frank, acting on a petit
ton for an injunction against enforce
ment of the rules, decreed that Con
trum had authority only over ex-
plosive displays.
The insurance commissioner was
promised the full support of the state
police force in the enforcement of the
safety regulations.
Colonel Beverly Ober, police super
intendent, said the force has full po-
lice authority throughout the state,
except in districts with local regula-
tions.
The regulations provide fine up to
$500 for the sale or discharge of fire
works, except where display permit
has been issued.
Judge Frank, who handed down an
opinion, in the injunction proceedings
on Saturday, signed the decree deny
ing the appeal, but enjoining Con
trum from enforcing that portion of
the regulations which "relates to
sparklers and other fireworks which
attain only visible and non-explosive
display by combustion"
The courts decree also held the
regulations "inapplicable in any
county, municipal or public corpora
ton, special district or political sub
division of the state now or hereafter
having duly adopted laws, ordinances
or regulations covering the same sub
ject matter"
Oakland Has Ordinance
Oakland has its own ordinance ban
ming either the sale or setting off of
fireworks which was passed August
7, 1889. 1t prohibits any person or
firm or corporation to sell within the
corporate limits any fire crackers,
torpedoes or fireworks of any kind or
description by whatever name known
and also prohibits any person from
setting off any firecrackers or fire
works of any kind or description by
whatever name known.
The Mayor and Council may grant
permits and prescribe rules and regu-
lations for fireworks displays upon
request in writing.

Southeast Alaska Banker Says Housing Prob
 lem Severe

Sitka's Federal housing project for defense workers on the south side of Japonski Island is nearine completion and approximately 1oC of the two-unit dwellings already are occupied w. A. Bates, Sitka and Ketchikan banker, said today
 Bates, e-President of the First Bank of Sitka and Cashier Mana ger of the Miners and Merchants Bank at Ketchikan, stopped in Ju- neau overnight after flying from Sitka. He left by plane for the First City this morning.
 I25 Buildings
 The housing project, designed to alleviate the intensely overcrowded defense area, will have 125 two- unit frame buildings when com- pleted, Bates said. Moderate month ly rents of $19, $21 and $26, vary ing according to size of rooms and with two-bedroom residences draw ing the higher rent. are charged Each unit was built at an overall cost of $3,600 under direction of defense housing experts.
 Population of $500
 Although accurate figures are not available, I believe the popula- ton of the Sitka area is well oyer $500 at present" Bates said, add ing that while the population may shift somewhat when defense pro- feet construction is completed, the old Russian Capital City will bene- fit permanently from the Army and Navy bases now being con- structed there. .
 Despite the Japonski Island housing program, newcomers to he district still find it difficult secure satisfactory living quar- CTS, although much new private construction has been completed and more is under way. The popu- lation has been surging upward for the past four years, Bates pointed out. and it has proved i'm possible for dwelling construction to maintain the pace. Only de- fense workers and their families are offered quarters in the new section.
 Times Are Good
 Nevertheless, times are good in p Sitka; thanks not only to the de- fense work but also to the pros porous fishing season which Sitka enjoyed this year in common with the rest of Southeast Alaska. The canneries were busy all the time, money was plentiful and there s still the fall fishing pack to come. All in all, the city is developing consistently and it's future seems assured

SALMON SEASON BRINGS RICHES
 TO PETERSBURG
Cannerymdn Flies Here Says Community Is
 Prospering

Approximately 40 per cent of this years Alaska salmon pack will be shipped to England through pur- chases made under the American Lease-Lend Act, George Ringstad, superintendent of the Pacific Fish cries cannery at Petersburg, said today he had been informed by authoritative officials.
 Ringstad arrived from Petersburg yesterday in the four passenger Waco airplan1 of the Petersburg Air Service, piloted by Tony Schwamm, former Juneau aviator. The cannery official joined his wife, who is visiting their two daughters, Miss Geraldine Ringstad, Juneau High School instructor, and Miss Jeanette Ringstad, Social Security Office employee, at the Baranof Hotel. MT. and Mrs. Ringstad's home is in Bellingham.
 The prosperous combination of high prices, increased demand and generally heavy salmon runs, which gave Alaska fishermen and packers one of their most successful seasons ia recent years, has been reflected to the fullest extent at the Peters burg canneries, Ringstad said. His FA.F two-line plant packed 10000 cases of sockeye, pink. cofoe and ohum salmon approximately three times greater than the plants 1940 pack and the largest total estab- lished since the cannery first went into operation in 1898 under the direction of August Buschmann, now in Seattle.
 Fine weather was one of the most important factors contribut- ing to the successful season." Ring stad pointed out The run was extraordinarily heavy, but we en- countered few delays because of climatic conditions"
 Ringstad pointed out that all though Petersburg normally has one of the highest annual per capita in- comes of any city under the Ameri- can flag, an even more prosperous winter than usual may be expected, because both resident fishermen and cannery employees earned high financial returns during the season.
 Ringstad has been superintendent of the Petersburg cannery since 1884, The plant was purchased by P.AF in 1929.
