Two-For-One Share Split
Proposed For L. & N. Stock

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.- up "A
two-for-one share split-up OF the
CAPITAL stock of Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Co.. was proposed
today by the directors and Will be
submitted to the shareholders. The
change also is subject to the ap-
proval of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The plan calls for reduction IN
the par value of the stock from
500 to $50 and the issuance of two
shares for each present share.
There are around 100000 shares
now outstanding.
This action was taken, the COM
pany said, in the belief that 1t
would be beneficial to the com
pany and its stockholders to bring
about a wider distribution OF the
shares than the present corporate
structure permits.

CHAMBER HEARS
TALKS ON PLAN
TO IMPROVE CITY
Mayor Hayes Speaks
Urges Paving Streets
and Sidewalks

In connection with squirting in
terest in the current Chamber of
Commerce letter writing contest on
How to Improve Juneau" Harry
GodSon was in charge of the pro-
gram at today'5 Chamber meeting,
introducing a pair of speakers on
the subject.
Mayor A. B. Hayes spoke, urging
more paved streets and sidewalks
not only to improve the citys looks
but to cut down the cost of main
tenance. He said mat a new City
Hall is needeo-no part of the
present building is adequate for city
departments. He also spoke of fire
and health hazards, but pointed out
the difficulties in removing and
wrecking ancient structures at
present, due to the high expense
involved and lack of labor
Many houses and buildings need
to be painted, he pointed out, but
there is a shortage of painters.
Pool Discussed
Mayor Hayes also said he is in
favor of getting more use out OF
the swimming pool in Evergreen
Bowl and predicted it could be used
eight months of the year if roof
was built over tbs pool and heat
ing facilities installed.
The schools are in poor shape
and there is a lacl; of winter rec
reational facilities for the children,
he pointed out, stressing the need
for a civic center building.
We will also need lot of money,
Mayor Hayes said.
The Rev Robert S. Treat, new
minister of the Methodist. Church,
was the second speaker. Although
he praised many features of the
city and thought the, Evergreen
Bowl fine place, he remarked on
the, shell of the former Goldstein
Building and the approach to the
city from the water.
Charles Burdick, Assistant Re-
gional Forester who has been alb
sent from Juneau for almost two
years in work On the Alaska Spruce
Log Project Program, was welcomed
back. He spoke briefly, said the
project has meant IS million board
feet of spruce logs produced, more
than half of this suitable for air.
plane production. The project, on
the West Coast of Prince of Wales
Island, folds up July 81 Equip

the present form could be retained
and improved, that the present low
tax rate could be increased, the
mayor paid a higher salary and the
term of office heightened.
Ernest Parsons said that even so
we would still have to elect mayor
who might not be trained man
and the city manager would be
qualified.
Foss agreed, saying that under
the present system the city election
is a popularity contest"
Foss said that move is being
started to ask the present council
to raise the tax rate from 17ia to
20 mills and to set aside perhaps as
much as 5 mills for postwar i'm
provements.
Betty Mccormick said that the
town should be cleaned up and if
we need a city manager to do the
job, we should adopt the system.
Next Meeting
Next meeting of the group will be
two weeks from now, July 10 at 8
p. m. in the City Hall.
