Improper Detention
Of Boys Denied by
Alexandra Police

Alexandria Police Chief Edgar
Sims today denied charges by
Judge James r.. Duncan of the Al
exandria Civil and Police Court tina,
the police department had improp-
erly held three New York juvenile
boys in the police station from Fri
day to Wednesday.
Chief Sims said the boys were moi
kept in cell block but were held
in the authorized detention room
on four charges of housebreakine
after their arrest Thursday night.
The police department was ready
to prosecute them Friday morning
but, at the request of the Juvenile
Court probation officer, Miss lGrace
E. Troeller, the case was postponed
several times.

in the absence of Judge Marion West
Of the Juvenile Court, found the
boys delinquent on two counts and
at further hearing on Tuesday
they were found delinquent on two
more counts, Police Chief Sims said
On Wednesday morning at the
expense of the city, because neither
the boys parents nor the Warwick

portation, the boys were taken by an
Alexandria police representative to
New York, where they were turned
over to authorities of the Juvenile
Aid Bureau Of the New York police,

but that out-of-town boys must be
detained in the room which has been
approved by the Alexandria Juvenile
Welfare Committee until their
parents can be contacted.

The new boo-- let is being distributed in connec- ton with the campaign to Du-4u a hundred percent volunteer Rc9u- lar Army by July 1, l947, to meet Americas commitments in the postwar world.
 Americas health standards have risen, and the people are more health-conscious, says the Army, since millions of veterans have re- turned from the war with a new appreciation of the value of or ganized health programs.
 During the war years, when medical facilities were taxed to the utmost, the death rate from disease in the Army was only about a third of mortality rates among comparable civilian groups.
 The dreaded scourge, pneumo- mia, for example offered no real threat to the health of the Army. Deaths from pneumonia were only six-tenths of one percent, a re- markable improvement over World War I, when "A out of every hundred men stricken died from the disease.
 During World War II, the death rate from all types of disease was less than one man out of every

The City Council held their reg ular meeting Monday night au- thorizing the payment of all bills owed by the City, with the excep- tion of the amount of four thou sand odd dollars for the bulkhead built across Lanes Way during the past season and which recently sustained considerable damage from the heavy seas. It was moved to postpone payment until some explanation could be made by the contractor for apparent neglect to fulfill contract.
 The City tax roll was discussed regarding the taxing of properties owned and used by churches and charitable organizations and it was moved to table the action for the l946 tax assessments.
 A letter from an Anchorage firm of city appraisers was read and discussed. It was moved that the City Clerk be instructed to re- ply to the letter, giving whatever information the firm desired as to the population and value of Nome, in arriving at figure for the cost of reappraising properties in Nome for the purpose of taxation.
 Remission was granted to the Ministerial Association of Nome for the opening of an ice-skating rink on River Street between C and D Streets.
