10 DEGREES BEL W IS
 REGISTERED
Fourth of City Without Wafer This Morning.
 Big Main Frozen

Old Man Weather Is trying nara to break the all-time record low temperature in Juneau. and came close to doing it last night when the thermometer hit right on the 10 below zero spot and remained there at o'clock this morning.
 During the forenoon hours, the temperature rose little, but off cial predictions say tonight will be as cold or colder.
 And with the minus 10 degree temperature, practically one fourth of Juneau residents, those from the Seventh street hill down through the Casey-Shattuck district. turned on their water taps this morning and got only trickle then nothing at all.
 There wasn't any water due to frozen 10 inch wooden main half a mile up the Basin Road. Juneau Water Company Superintendent Minard Mill had crew of seven men working this afternoon install ling a temporary wooden Hume to replace the frozen pipe for the 100 foot stretch across Gold Creek car rying water from the AEL&P Hume to the main on the South side
 Supply Soon
 As soon as that water can get running again. conditions should improve. The Is inch supply main from the Basin Springs is running full volume into the Seventh Street reservoir, but even so the pressure in downtown pipes has been reduc- ed to 60 pounds.
 An effort has been made to keep up the supply to hotels, laundries and business houses more than the supply to residential districts, as it is felt this is the more important.
 Superintendent Mill asks that residents run their faucets no more than is necessary. as this is ser ious drain on supply that is all ready below normal. The emer- Rency reservoir, for fire use, is at safe level, Mill states. and so far no fire mains have been frozen. However. residents are urged to take particular watch against fire dangers.
 That All-Time Low
 According to Claude V. Brown, meteorologist in charge of the local Weather Bureau, the all-time low of minus l5 degrees recorded way back in January, 1916 and also i'll February 1917 was equaled at the Airport this morning A temper ature of minus 15 degrees was re- corded there at 10 am.
 The reading taken on top of the Federal building in Juneau at 7.30 o'clock this morning was minus 10. This equaled the minus 10 of December l8. 1883. which was the lowest recorded subsequent to the 1917 date
 Handy Jim Orme
 Neighbors from lower Gold Creek to the small boat harbor are keep ing a warm spot in their hearts today for James Orme. and calling him the man of the hour for his generous help i'll the frozen water pipe situation in that district.
 Since Orme has his own well. he decided to lend helping hand to the frantic housewives of the district who were trying to carry on sans water for cooking, kiddies face- washing and so forth Orme loaded his truck with two barrels of water and drove up and down the streets doling out the precious that was missing from so many. water taps at the frosty break of dawn

EXPLANATION FOR DEFICIT
 ASKED OLSON
Walker Questions Treasur. CT on Report = First
 Bills introduced

Territorial Treasurer Oscar G. Ol- son this morning felt the prick of the legislative probe deftly wield- ed by Doe" Walker, Senator from Ketchikan. Olson was called to the Senate stand by Walker to ex- plain the inclusion of various specific appropriations and funds some of them Federal-in his state ment of the Territory's cash on hand at the end of the year l946.
 Olson reported a year-end ball. ance of $231 ,303.21. However, that total apparently was reached by inclusion of such funds as the World War II Veterans Fund, the Public School Current Fund, monies reserved to the University of Alas ka and to the Pioneers Home and various earmarked Federal grants. Their subtraction, according to Walkers calculation, left a minus total of $235 ,507.90 in the general treasury instead of the reported credit balance.
 Asked for explanation of the deficit, Olson at first advanced that it is not really a deficit" then later acknowledged:
 You can call it a deficit if you want to- He argued that there really is no deficit because there is money available to cover obliga- tions as they come in. He added. however, that all obligations could not be met by the Territory with cut additional taxes coming in.
 Olson asked for time in which to study the exact figures on which Walker wished to question him in detail Walker asked If he would be ready to answer by 2 o'clock this afternoon, and upon Olson's affirmative the Senate recessed un- til that hour.
