RALEIGH, June z -RE Attor-
ney Genral Harry MCMILLAN ruled
today that municipality may not
now levy a special tax for the pur-
pose of raising funds to apply upon
the cost of future construction Of
a water works syctem 70 be built
when materials become available.
Mcmillan also ruled that a per-
son who is member Of the U. 5.
armed forces could become can
didate for the state legislature, so
far as the law is concerned.
However, he said, it may be inn
possible for such candidate if elect
ed, to be present and qualify as a
member of the legislature. T h e
General Assembly is the exclusive
Judge of the qualifications of its
members.
In reply to request for rul-
ing from Governor Broughton, the
attorney general said that females
may not enlist in the North Caro-
lima state guard.
In other opinions, Mcmillan
ruled that:
Principals or local school au-
thorities have no authority to i'm
pose fines or other penalties on
teachers who are habitually tardy
in beginning school work. The on.
ly remedy in such cases, he said,
would be suspension or dismissal
under the procedure outlined in G.
S. 115-117 and 115-143.
Sales of tangible personal prop
erty made by seller outside of the
state to manufacturer in this state
are exempt from use tax, if said
property enters into or becomes
an ingredient or component part
OF the manufactured products.
In the absence of a public-local
act to the contrary, a register OF
deeds may not charge as his fee
more than one dollar for the t.
suance of a marriage license, even
through the license be issued aft
er office hours.
Chapter So of the general sta
tutes contains authority for h e
establishment by municipalities of
jointly operated airports. No spe-
cial enabling act is required.
When prisoners are sentenced to
central prison, Raleigh, the time
for which the prisoner is sentenced
should be counted from the day
he actually begins to serve his SEN
tence.

employees rather than public of.

Weather is playing an important
role in the successful Allied land

rough sea having made bobbing
landing ships difficult target for
German guns and low clouds and
rain having given the invasion
forces good protection from aerial
attack and preserved the elemen-
of surprise in initial operations,
officers of the Army Air Forces
weather wing, which maintains
world headquarters here, pointed
out today.
Closely following the progress of
the invasion and watching with
particular interest for any men
ton of weather as a factor in the
operations, officers of the wing
said the cloud cover probably kept
German reconnaissance planes

sion would be-" Col. john Arnold,
Jr., deputy wing commander,
said today" 1t is with great salts
faction that we watch the weather
pattern for the week unfold and
see that our service, working with
the British, has apparently been
so successful in giving the high
command an accurate forecast for
this the greatest of all military and
naval operations in history"
The wing, which serves as bust

ice, has maintained close liason re-
lation with the service in Britain
during the months of preparation
for the invasion, and many of the
weather officers now in England
have served at headquarters here.

OFFICIALS FROM
 zELLERBACH GO. INSPECT TIMBER
HeintzIemdn Conducts h. vestigation of Paper Mill
 Project Near Ketchikdn

Regional Forester B. Frank Heintz- leman has returned to Juneau after spending a week in the field with four officials of the Crown-Zeller- bach Corporation who came North for the purpose of inspecting the pulp timber unit which is being laid out by the Forest Service in the Ketchikan district and which will be offered for sale on application of any substantial companies that may become interested in the post war development of the paper in- dustry in Alaska.
 H. L. Zellerbach, President of the Zellerbach Paper Company at San Francisco and Executive Vice-Presi- dent of wn-Zellerbach, was in charge of the group which also in- cluded R. A. Mcdonald, Executive Vice. President of the Zellerbach company, San Francisco; F. N. Youngman, Vice. President in charge of the Portland, Oregon, office and area; and Donald Denman, Vice. President in charge of the Seattle area. Denman is also in charge of all timber lands and logging opera tions for the company from Ocean Falls, B. C., to California.
 When interviewed at Ketchikan the officials stated that they could make no statement this early on the prospects for pulp and paper mill in that district but did say that they believed the day would come when the paper industry would contribute very materially to the wealth of Southeast Alaska.
 The men returned to the States August 19, MT. Heintzleman stated and almost simultaneously two other groups of investigators from the same company arrived at Ketchi- kan. One group consists of spec ialists in the matter of water sup ply, which, said Heintzleman, plays an important part in the paper mak- ing process. The second group con- sists of timber cruisers and logging engineers who plan to spend six weeks making detailed checks of the figures on timber volume and quail ity and on logging costs that have been supplied by the Forest Service.
 The unit being laid out is under stood sufficient to supply a paper mill of 500 tons daily capacity for a period of 50 years. Such plant of this size would cost upwards of $20,- 900, ,0O0, according to the office of the company, and is one of the highest investments per unit of production in American industry.

CHAMBER WILL INVESTIGATE
 NATIVE RIGHTS
Committee to Report df Session on Next
 Thursday

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce this noon approved action of the Executive Committee to request the Legislative Committee to inves- tigate the question of aboriginal rights" of Alaskan Indians in con nection with the proposed new reservations and to submit a report at next weeks meeting.
 Harry. Godson, chairman of the Transportation Committee, gave a report on the investigation into the question of whether or not certain Coast Guard regulations could be relaxed at this time. He said that Captain of the Port It. Warren M. Caro has advised him that changes are to be made to assist small boat operators in reporting in and out of port Under the new sys- tenn, operators, other than commer- cial, may report in and out at the dock verbally, and those who have boats in the small boat harbor and are going to Aux Bay by way of the North Channel may telephone in and out.
 The system of keeping such a check, Godson reminded, is for the protection of the boat owners and should be continued in the opinion of the committee for this reason.
 Godson explained that regulations pertaining to civilians on the docks are made in Washington, D. O., and apply to all ports of the United States. Persons having business on the docks or on boats will not be denied entry to the dock area or vessel providing they have Coast Guard pass and permit issued by the transportation agent.
 The matter of boat passengers being allowed to come ashore in Alaskan ports, he said, is left up to the discretion of the ships mas ter, depending upon the length of time the vessel is in port.
 Howard Stabler, heading a special committee to investigate the feas- ibility of removing the light and telephone poles from Juneau's city streets, reported that the commit tee is of the opinion nothing can be done at this time, particularly on the paved streets. He said the committee recommends that before further paving is done the city council be asked to put the wires underground. He said that the committee also is of the opinion that such matters should be left up to the city council.
 Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips reminded members of the Chamber that the school teachers will be back next week and asked the cooperation of Juneau house. holders in aiding the school teach CTS in finding living accommoda- tions-apartments, houses, rooms.
 Attention was drawn by Ernie Parsons to the pessimistic attitude of many Juneauites concerning the future of Juneau, and he urged that the Chamber take action to promote a better attitude. Others speaking on the subject included President Homer Garvin, Arthur Hedges and Harold FosS.
 Mayor. Emil Knudsen of Kodiak spoke briefly, telling of the Presi- dents visit to Kodiak. Other guests included A. H. Kingsbury, Jr., Haines Postmaster; Everett E.. Smith, former U. s. Commissioner at Haines; Henry Hogue, new man. ager of KINY, and F. L. Thorn hill, of KINY's Seattle office.
