 They are licensed not as car- riers but as traders, and buy their produce outright in Seattle for re-sa e here
 By saving some on handling and wharfage fees, the men find they can lay the produce down here more cheaply, they feel, than it can be gotten here any other way. Last month they sold thelr supply to the navy, but this time are selling only In ! town, to letall outlets On it's return trip to Seattle, the Clipper will carry the dis mautled surplus rawmIll from A. fognak which the partners hay purchased

Bryan Asks REA To
 Reconsider kEA Plans

Hope for an Okey Ol the p!aus for the new generating plant for the IKEA, disapproved earlier by the REA in Washington. re eeived a slight boost this week, with the receipt here of a copy of a letter written by Herbert Bryan, Alaska REA represtenta, tive, to the REA in Washington.
 Mr. Bryan's letter was read to the local KEA board at special meeting Monday night.
 In his letter to Washington. Mir. Bryan explained why the certain features. disapproved by Washington, for the new plant. had been included in the sub. nlitted plans
 He also outlined the great need for the new system, point- Ang out that the growth of the Glty. the erection of the propos- ed cold storage plant, the sub naarine cable to Woody Island and the increasing power load oa the present system make It imperative that the new gener- se,ng plans be reconsldered.
 A telegram from the REA in Washington to the local board said that the plans had been dls- approved because the type of overhead crane requested was tao costly and the type of cool iBg units were not practical for the local plant.
 The board has already asked the kEA ln Washington for an additional loan ot $l00,OOO. The slams were originally drawn up two years ago and increasing costs have Iaised the approxl' mate cost of the new system on present plans, from $3lO O0OU to ssS5 900. The additional 1925, ,OoU would be a reserve in Case of even higher prices.
 Despite the REA disapprova| for the generating part of the msw system, bids will be accept aa in Anchorage on Aug. II for tlse contract of setting poles and construction of the new distribu ton system. Ten days after the hisls are in the contract will bt let and the project must be com pIeted 90 days later.
 A KEA board member saic this week that with the com plet.on of the new distribution system we should be able te take care of the local situation this winter"
 Poles and wire for the new system, as we'll as some overhead equipment, are already here,
 Also on Monday evening, the heard read letters from , appll eants for the position of manage ef the local plant. Several are being considered.

$4,000 District Employees
Get Less Pay This Week

More than 10000 District en-
ployes, instead. of getting pay raise
along with Federal employees, actu.
ally got decrease in pay this week
When Congress adjourned without
giving District employees the raise o.
$3.50 a year which the Federal en-
ployes received, the spirits and mo-
rale OF workers dropped consider
ably.
This week, when they received
their pay checks, they represented
less than they have been receiving
The reason Is that the retirement
deduction was raised from to
per cent along with the Federal
employees.
About $500 policemen, firemen
and teachers did not get the addi'
tional retirement deduction, be-
cause their pensions are fixed by
law that was not changed by the
recent congressional action.
