this: If he himself joins the critics

lose confidence In him too and he
can't do that successful negotiat-

when and IL he is President.
Mr.. Wallace himself indicated that
Russia had approached the patho-

statement that: There = probably

 Novick asked for certified copy of the Painter resignation which was promised.
 The reading of the ordinance providing for the lease l82) of the Marine Ways took large portion of the evening before an even larger crowd of townsmen.
 Novick asked the Mayor under what authority he had leased the property and did he have title to it
 The Mayor answered we own it; we have all the authority in the world.
 Novick said, Do we have title?" Mayor: "Yes, we have" Novick: "A decd?"
 Mayor. "Yes. We have the title"
 At this point Novick produced a telegram which he asked City Clerk to read
 A telegram from the head of tn War Assets Administration was then read. It was from Don aid R. Wilson. Regional Director and dated March l. l948 at 4::53 PM. and addressed to Fred C. Howard. the present lessee of the Seward Cold Storage

signed the lease for the Marine Ways This was also not forth coming and the Mayor, in self protection, told him he was out of order and he retired.
 The Mayor then made the state ment that already the army, due to the loss of the Marine Weys by fire at Adak recently, was con- sidering Seward as a repair point for several barges very shortly.
 (Ed. Note: We would here call attention to the clause in any l. ase or Bill of Sale which is giv- en for land on navigable water that the Government may at any time take over any installation for it's own use at any time. The ownership is not considered.
 The next order of business was the contract for garbage. Bids were read and order of read ing number one was the Vets Transfer which bid was 20 per cent to the city.
 Painters bid was l5 per cent and the city to take care of the collections.
 The last bid was from Martin placed the figure at flat SLIGO per month and guaranteed two trucks, giving specifications.
 Painter was not present. evi- dently because of this bid, and. questioned. the Mayor stated he would have to resign if his bid was accepted.
 The Vets Housing Project came up for some discussion and a meeting is planned shortly. The matter of another taxicab company came up ana it was pro- posed by MT. Gardena to operate taxi and limousine service if there was sufficient population. The present ordinance shows one company for every 500 population.
 The matter was also discussed by Councilman Sellers and a meeting will be called very short ly to take it up.
 The meeting adjourned soon thereafter.

 Novick produced letter from Attorney Davis of Anchorage which he had dictated in the presence of D. C. Brownell at his request and which was delivered to MT. Howard by MT. Brownell. The letter had to do with a com- promise which might have been affected at the time it was writ ten.
 Mr. Brownell was then called in for his statement. We did not take down the statement of Mir. Brownell. However. we called Mir. Brownell at 4:09 Tuesday. March 2nd, and he stated he did not care to give a written state, ment as to what he said before the council. 1 is true too. that we
