measure.
It will be up to local authorities
to enforce the broWnout, but the
War Production Board will have
final power to discipline violators
through fines or imprisonment un-
der terms of the Second War
Powers Act.
Along with his edict to maintain
home and office building tempera-
lures at not more than 60 degrees
War Mobilization Director James
]. Byrnes asked that the brown
out be enforced as a necessary
fuel conservation measure.
Officials estimate that the light
ing ban will save about 1000 5000
tons of coal annually and SUBJ
stantial amounts of other scarce
fuels. The Nations utilities, how
ever, will sacrifice an estimated
$780, 100000 to 100000 in gross
revenue.
Exemptions from the order have
been granted in California, the
Pacific Northwest, most of Texas,
part of Louisiana, New Mexico,
Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, and
other localities where electricity is
not produced by use of coal, fuel
oil or other scarce fuels.

Full of plans for the company's future, he said that he had come to help ill every way possible with the job there is to do. With the cooperation of every one in Alaska Airlines, I want to bring Alaskans the kind of air service they need and deserve.
 Our biggest handicap has been the inability to procure equipment and replacement parts during the war But this spring our two new DC-3s will be in service to be used commercially. These instrument ships will enable our flights to leave on time. We will be able to deliver the goods on schedule.
 For greater efficiency, we are making an effort to standardize equipment engines in particular Before long there will be Pratt 6, Whitney engines in all our ships Eventually I hope to see us use only three makes of planes: the Douglas for long runs single engine model, such as the Morse man or Bellanca, for use with pon- toons and skis; and, in between these two, medium-sized twin engine ship.

MORE HOME RULE?

Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett has introduced in Congress bill which it is said lis designed to give greater measure of home rule' to cities in Alaska.
 The bill would make it possible for city councils to issue bonds for municipal projects without con- sidering the will of the people of the community by putting the matter up in election
 In the light of the information we have received to date it would that the is not designed to give any home rule to cities but merely takes the control over such matters from the people of the various cities and places it in the hands of the cils. It would take the power from the many and concentrate it in the hands of the few
 We would be interested to know how the bill originated. Did the various Alaskan mayors and councimen request Delegate Bartlett to introduce such a measure? Where did it come from?
 Actually what the bill appears to do is to centralize power formerly held by the people, in the admin
