VOTERS TO HAVE MANY THINGS 10
 DECIDE APRIL }
Public Utilities Ownership and City Manager Plan
 Will Be on Ballots

Besides voting for Mayor, four councilmen, one school director and "yes" or mo" on the question of giving Lloyd Reid of the Channel Bus Lines a franchise, Juneau voters will give their reaction to the question of public ownership of utilities and whether they want the city manager plan. These last two will appear on separate ballots at the City Election on April 3.
 Mrs. Harold Smith, representing the Juneau Womens Club, pre- scented a petition to the council containing 475 signatures asking that voters be given a chance to express their opinion on the ques- tion of city-owned public utilities. Councilman Keith Wildes put the city manager plan on the ballot by making a motion to that effect.
 Before reading of communica- t!ons, Jack Burford asked the councilmen and mayor what had been accomplished towards getting a warehouse built for the local halibuters. Mayor Hayes reported he had talked with K. G. Merritt who is representing the local indus tries committee of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, and as yet no agreement had been arrived at on either electrical rates or what rent to charge for the gear lockers
 Mayor Hayes said certain man" was planning to build a place with IA lockers, which he would rent for $50 a year So far, he said, the fishermen did not care to pay that much rent.
 Carl Weidman, local troller, said more fishermen would come to Ju- neau if facilities were provided However, he urged cooperation of all three boat-oWning groups to- ward settling this matter. They are the halibuters, trollers and pleasure craft owners.
 He said they must do something because of the threat of the tuna industry of the state of Washing ton to draw local fishermen south
 Mayor Hayes thanked him and said the problems could probably be resolved if all groups worked together as a team.
 Other matters to come before the council were: Jack McDaniels was appointed to the police force. w A. Kelvie withdrew his application sent in last week The resignation of V. w. Mulvihill as Fire Chief was accepted
 The sewer into the channel at the foot of Ninth Street was re- ported too near the surface by E. J. Taylor. This was ordered fixed al the discretion of the City Engineer
 E. L. Hunter sent the city ar itemized bill showing damage amounting to $75.50 to furnishing

in his basement as a result of sewage flooding. This matter was referred to the Committee on Taxa ton and M. E. Monagle, City At torney, will also look up the law to determine the city's liability.
 The bid from J. V. Cole of S1,582 for a new grid in the small boat harbor was tabled and probably will be rejected, as the City En- gineer stater it was some 5400 too high.
 Ed Nelson gave a report on the city dock. He said the city, after all repair expenses are paid, made a profit of $50 a month. He recom- rlended that the next council raise the rent.
 Chief of Police John Monagle was voted $125 to reimburse him for use of his private car for police work during the past two years.
 Ed Nelson complained that air planes were flying too low over the city and suggested something be done about it. No action was taken.
 The list of election judges for the April election was read by Mayor Hayes.
 Repairs were ordered to streets and sidewalks and bills were or dered paid All members were present at this meeting, the last until after the election.

Forresial May Seek
Partial Reinstatement
|0f New Ship Program
BY the Associated Press

by tAc hsoOSidlCu Etcss
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
may seek reinstatement of part of
the ship construction program can
celed two days ago.
In announcing this yesterday
Mr.. Forrestal revealed that the or
der canceling 70 OF the "a ships of
all types projected earlier this year
originated with War Mobilization
Director Byrnes.
He said Mr.. Byrnes was so con-
scious of the impact of the program
on manpower that on the basis OF
relative demand he felt 1t was not
wise to start
While the Navy may disagree,
Secretary Forrestal said, somebody
has to weigh competing demands on
| the national economy"
The Secretary said the initial pro-
gram of "a ships was inaugurated
on the basis of insurance, because
I'VE do not know at what point
Japan can implement a damaging
attack on the fleet"
Mr.. Forrestal raised the subject
at press conference after being
handed note informing him that
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming had just used the Navy
ship curtailment to support his
argument against the need of the
manpower bill now awaiting Sen
ate action.
The Secretary emphasized that he
was neither criticizirg nor affirming
Mr.. Byrnes' judgment in canceling
most of the program. He said Mr..
Byrnes was sitting at the top and
knew where vital materials could
| best be used.
