TWO 5p0RT5MEN HERE TO LOBBY
 BOUNTY RAISE
Say Wolves Are Killing Off Fur-Bearing Animals
 Rapidly

l Two Ketchikan officials of the Alaska Sports and Wildlife Club are now in Juneau to present the trap pers' side of the argument over ar increase in the bounty on wolves from the present $20 to $50 They are Harold Blanton, President of the club, and Harry Cowan, a member of the board of directors.
 These men represent over 200 members. many of whom are trap pers and fishermen, and from infor- maj polls they have taken the past two years, it seems that most trappers desire a raise in the wolf bounty.
 The trappers and others boiled also want all of the monies paid in as game fees kept in the game fund and not half of it being turned over to the school fund, as is the case now.
 From estimates on what wolf will kill a year, Blanton and Cowan say the value amounts to $3,l25, meat value of the deer and skins Of fur bearing animals.
 Pointing out that only 123 wolf trapping permits were taken out in Alaska this year both men flatly stated it was not worth trapper's time or effort to destroy predators under the present low bounty
 They claim if the bounty were raised it would amount to but a small fraction of the value of the skins shipped out of the territory and might increase the fur catch as the wolves decreased in number.
 Today both men are contracting legislators and other interested in a bounty raise.
 A bill to raise the bounty was kill ed in the legislature a few weeks ago but Cowan and Blanton realize that eventually the bounty will have to be raised.

City Council Waits
For Federal Action
On New Water Tanks

City officials yesterday still were
awaiting action by the War Pro-
duction Board on the appeal made
December 6 by City Attorney W.B.
Campbell that recognition be given
to a contract for overhead water
tanks for Wilmington ana that the
original application be changed
from two 10000 gallon tanks 20
single 100000 gallon tank.
The latest information received
here by Mr.. Campbell is that the
WPB is Handling" the matter.
The City's extensive waterworks
program, plans for which were
made several years ago, included
the two tanks and the construc-
ton contract was let to K. o. Cole
company. of Newman, Ga. At that
time, a WPB decision prevented
Wilmington from obtaining both
tanks, and an allowance was made
for a one nillion-gallon tank, for
which materials were not avail
able
If the WPB recognizes the orig
inal contract and agrees to reas-
sign the million-gallon tank. it will
be erected at Ninth and Dawson
streets, where the City already
has purchased property.
