for tonight's 10-round main event
at Griffith Stadium that brings box

nature OF comeback for Perry, who
was chilled by Danny Kspilow the

Perry needs this one to go into
the winter campaign as the same
drawing card he was at the end of
the last indoor season. Aaron's two
flsted power attacks have made him
a big gate attraction here, but as it
stands now the suspicion that he
has glass chin detracts somewhat t
from his worth. The crowd likes a
Slugger, though, and Perry is all of
that. Nevertheless Horne rates as
a rs choice for tonight's fisticuffing
largely on the strength of his hav-

Perry's hackers are counting on

nearer to chnching when both the
second-place Yankees and the third

two to end all mathematical chance

tomorrow when they meet the

 The Senate notified the House that House Bills 43 and 45, com mittee on education bills relating to minimum salaries for school teachers and refunds to school dis tricts, and House Joint Memorial 5, providing additional landing strips for planes by widening Territorial roads at appropriate points, had been passed.

Most liberality was shown by the Councilmen in the item of City taxes, which was boosted above the 1945 payment in order that the next Councils hands will not be tied when equalization time comes round again; slO,0OO even was al- lowed for that item
 Both Stuart and Mayor Ernest Parsons indicated that it will be up to the next Council when year end audit reports on the company's l946 operations come in, to make adjustment to see that the com pany receives its SIT 300 profits and no more. Suggested was that t>.e rates for l947 may be altered to compensate for either more or less profits; or, if profits run higher, the company may be ordered to make refunds to customers.
 Ten More Items
 About 10 items of operating ex- pense, among them the most con troversial such as maintenance and income tax, are yet to be acted on. They will be the order of business for the next rate session, set for this evening at o'clock at the City Hall.
 After that, the biggest job will still be ahead-one that will have the Council humping to get it com pleted before election time-that of fixing a schedule of new rates. Just how much actual rate cut the schedule will determine cannot be well established until operating costs are established. All that has so far been established is how much yearly profit the company shall be allowed to make.
 That stroke the administration Monday when it lop- ped an approximate 60 percent off 1924 profits.

COUNCIL GETS UNDER IN FIXING COSTS
Another Light Rate Session Set for This Evening"
 No New Rates Yet

All was fairly smooth, but dull sailing at last evenings rate ses- sion as it took up Alaska Electric Light and Power Company operat- ing expense items. set anticipated figures for this and ensuing years and voted on them one-by-one.
 In general, there was little op- position by the company to any of the amounts set, especially after it was explained that adjustments would have to be made at the end of each year, when audits are made, in order to correct for miscalcula- tions.
 In some instances, light company Cashier c. B. Holland contended that ratios used in apportioning system costs among Juneau, rural areas, Douglas and the merchan- dising department were too low ac- cording to his computations from the 1945 books. The proportion general used was TT percent to Ju- neau; 85 percent on items into which the merchandising business does not enter.
 A few cost items were arbitrarily set after discussion by Councilmen and company representatives-such as advertising, placed at $2,000 yearly and a $l,000 sum set up for donations. The rations used were those computed by City Utilities Engineer Walter T. Stuart. Most of his computations were adopted also.
 HoD Figures Based
 For the most part, figures arriv- ed at were baseG on an average of expense for 1914 and 1945, In labor items, a gross increase in wages of about 28 percent, which is an act ual raise for this one class of work CTS of about 19 percent, was added for l946 increases, now being nego- tiated by the company.
