CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE IS
 NOW IN JUNEAU

Members of the Interior Depart. ment sub- committee of the House Appropriations Committee arrived here last evening on the U. s Fisheries boat Brant and this morn ing held a public meeting in the City Halls cramped Council Cham bers to hear Territorial and Fed eral officials explain why and how more Federal money can be put tc use in Alaska.
 Head and shoulders among all problems presented was that con corning the Territory's health needs, especially in the fight against tuberculosis. Commissioner of Health pr. c. E. Allbrecht pre- sented the Territory's case, while pr. E. w. Norris spoke for the Alaska Native Office.
 While the Congressmen seemed convinced that more Federal money is needed in Alaska, Rep. Ben Franklin Jensen. of Iowa, warned that with every Federal dollar comes more Federal control.
 Rep. Michael J. Kirwan of Ohio said that we're shipping billions to Europe and ought to be able to afford to spend billion in Alaska. '"
 James c. Ryan, Commissioner of Education, also spoke before the committee, pointing out that the Territory is educating some 1900 native children at Territorial ex- pense for which it receives no funds from the Federal Govern ment, while in the States the Fed eral Government allows tuition.
 Territorial Commissioner of Mines B. D. Stewart also spoke, outlining the need for mining aids, and Ava Blackerby presented the grievance of the Federal employees in Alaska concerning the impending disap-

ANCHORAGE I5T0 HAVE NEW POLICE
 DEPARTMENT HEAD

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 21.- Residents of Anchorage breathed easier when Brig. General R.. E. Mittelstaedt, m m Il din Fort Richardson, disclosed he never threatened to place the city "off limits" because of the prevalence of prostitution and venereal dis ease.
 The General said the letter to the mayor threatened to place only certain establishments off limits unless undesirable conditions were eliminated before Saturday.
 Mayor John Manders, who an nounced Tuesday Gen. Mittelstaedt had issued to the city the ulti- matum to clean up or be off Hints Saturday, left for San Francisco Thursday.
 Meanwhile, the City Council pre- pared to elect an acting mayor to carry on while he is gone. The first item on the calendar at a meeting Monday will be the ap- pointment of a new Chief of Po- lice, something they had been un- able to accomplish due to differ enceS with ManderS.
 In a conference with Councilmen yesterday, Mittelstaedt said the city's problems are a result of con- fusion in the Police Department.

overlap the street paving by two feet, which would permit a three foot. walk He averred that a four-foot sidewalk is needed. An other request concerning sidewalks came in a letter from John D. Kennedy He cited that the side walk at Fourth and Harris Streets is badly in need of repair.
 Earle L. Hunter again presented his claim for damages resulting when a blocked sewer overflowed into the basement of his residence. His claim was turned over to City Attorney Howard D. Stabler for in- vestigation.
 More Insurance
 Councilman Stanley V. Grum- melt, who had been asked to look into liability insurance for the City for streets, sidewalks and sewers. reported that $10,O0O and $20.OOQ coverage would cost the City $400 a year. He recommended a com prehensive liability coveragc of all City properties which would cost $500 year The Finance Commit tee was called upon for further recommendation.
 Another City Insurance matter was decided by the flip of coin, when identical bids were submitted by the Shattuck Agency and Grum- mett's Insurance Agency on acci- dent coverage for Juneau Volunteer Bremen. Each offered a bid of S240 for one year, the same rate as in the previous policy written by the Shattuck Agency. The Mayor Tipped dollar-loaned by Councilman Nielsen: Grummet call cd heads; the coin fell heads up; the Council voted Grummett the contract.
 Shelter at Dock l
 The Council voted to accept the Northland TransportatAn Com pany's offer to construct a shelter over the loading ramp and plat form and a marquee over the walk at the City Dock, in lieu of paint ing of the dock property which had not been done during the first five year period of the dock lease to the steamship line.
 An estimate had been presented by the contracting firm of Trip lette and Kruse, stating that the cost of a shed-shelter and 80 feet of marquee would be $1000, the figure settled upon as reasonable substitute for the painting. The Councils approval was given with the understanding that the work be contracted by the Northland Company and carried out under the supervision of the City Engineer and in conformity with specified tions approved by him.
 No action was taken on con- tracting for cement in carload lots when only one bid was presented under the revised specifications. The Columbia Lumber Company bid $l45 per sack for Standard Portland cement, Sl60 for Hy-Urly cement, whole sacks only to be furnished. Lower bids had been presented at the previous meeting by the Juneau Lumber Mills and Nick Rocovich. The bids then had been turned down and a new call issued because of difference in bid conditions; Rocovich assuming re- sponsibility for broken sacks and the Lumber Mills not. Neither of the latter firms bid on the recall

AIRPORT PLANS
 AWAIT PICKING,
 NEW ARCHITECT
Fire Mains Give City Coun- eiImen Concern at
 Meet Last Night

City Council committees were given plenty to do in the near fu- ture when a flood of civic matters was channeled their way by Mayor Parsons at last evenings confer ence of the City Fathers.
 Councilman Edward Nielsen's City Properties Committee was handed a problem the Mayor de- clared to be urgent; that of recommending a new architect to prepare airport building plans for submission to the Federal Works Agency with an application for a chunk of the postwar planning money being disbursed by that bu- reau.
 The problem arose from com munication from Forest Service Landscape Architect Linn Forrest, stating that altered circumstances left him unable to undertake the project for the City. The Council had voted on July 6 to engage MT. Forrest for the work on facilities for the airport here.
 Action on the airport building is needed now, the Mayor declared, stating that group of Pan Ameri- can Airways officials is to be in Juneau on Monday and will wish to discuss their airport require ments.
 Fire Mains Give Trouble
 Another project previously given post war status took on more press ing complexion when City Engineer J. L. McNamara reported that salt water fire mains in the City are in very bad shape, that Street De- partment crews have recently been required to devote large part of their time to repairing leaks that have developed.
 Chances for getting suitable pipe from the Army-particularly from the dismantling of the Excursion Inlet base-were discussed. It was finally decided that the Mayor and Street Committee should immed- lately investigate possibilities and report at the next regular meeting.
 Also going to committee for recommendations were request S made from the audience by Pete Warner and Milton Daniels, Mir Warner, of the Warner Machine Shop here, called to the Councils attention the very bad condition of the Upper City Float and gridiron He stressed the heavy usage to which they are put
 No Bids on Dock Work
 Tn line with that problem, the Mayor reported that no bids hae been received for repairs and main- tenance work at the Boat Harboi and City Dock. Driver operators have indicated, he said, that if the bid call were again issued about the middle of September, that pile drivers and crews would then be available for the work.
 MT. Daniels asked that the side walk being installed about the new Snow White Laundry building bt permitted to extend an additiona foot onto the street. He had pre- yiously been given permission tc

Profit Shown
in City Gas

Things are looking up for the city
financially.
At city council meeting Monday
evening Engineer T. Fred Older re-
ported that the annual audit for the
city gas department showed profit
OF $4,000 as against loss Of So
600 in the previous year The audit
covered the period OF Sept. !, 1914
to Aug. 81. 1945. The profit was at
tributed to reduced costs and to
increased revenue from new rates.
That there is a possibility OF
greater service and profits II ma
tural gas can be brought to the
CITY was called to attention OF the
aldermen by Mr. Older. Prospects
for this in the near future are NOT
bright. however. following federal
action in cutting rates. Pipeline
companies claim that present rates
are too low to permit profitable eK-
pansion OF their services and they
point out that municipalities alrea-
dy receiving natural gas are VIII
ing to take all OF the product that
can now be supplied.
Members Of the board OF public
works are. however, making every
effort to obtain the natural gas for
Ypsilanti.
There is little possibility Of re-
ducing rates here under present
conditions. Mr.. Older pointed out.
since II will be necessary TO build
IN a reserve to make additions
and requirements in the system
now in use II the natural product
cannot he obtained or TO convert
appliances. II it can.
