City Heads 10 Hold 7 Senate Units 10 Hear
Public Hearing May22 Testimony on Bills 10
On Enclosing Porches Aid D. {. Teachers

The Commissioner will hold a
public hearing May % on what
to do about the enclosing of frame
porches in closely built areas.
The problem has been nagging
District officials for some time.
During the war, many home own
ers enclosed their porches to make
extra rooms because of the hous-
ing demand, without getting
permits to do so.
A proposed regulation change
would prohibit the enclosing of
porches in the so-called B. c and
D areas-where all exterior walls
must be of masonry construction
after July l. unless the en-
closure is of masonry and COM
plies with regulations for light
and ventilation.
1t also is proposed to clarity the
regulations on now porches may
be built.
At present. frame porches built
on masonry buildings in the areas
concerned before March 25. 1882,
may be enclosed, but those built
after that date must be rebuilt
OF masonry If enclosure is desired.
Porches enclosed without per-
mits in violation of present regu-
lations still remain in violation.
and the owners still are subject to
prosecution.
j. j. Ilgenfritz. deputy director
of inspections, explained it always
has been customary, although the
regulations were not too clearly
defined, that a wooden porch with
a railing could be built on a ma
sonry building.

redecorating plan submitted by an
Eastern art student. Runner-up
was Beverly Freeman, 1872 Eight

Bills to liberalize the sick leave
and salary acts for District teach
ers are scheduled for a public
hearing at $3.50 pm. tomorrow be-
fore a joint meeting of two sub
committees of the Senate District
Committee.
They are the health subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Leahy,
Democrat. of Rhode Island, and
the fiscal subcommittee of which
Senator Hunt. Democrat, of Wyo-
ming, is chairman.
Spokesman for numerous teach
er groups as well as officers of the
school system and other witnesses
are scheduled to appear.
An additional so days of sick
leave. with part-pay granted,
would be allowed permanent, pro-
bationary. temporary. and annual
substitute teachers and attend
ance officers, under a bill intro
duced by Senator Johnston, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina.
The present law allows the
teachers so days of paid sick leave
a year. plus 20 days in case of Sc
rlous illness. The Johnston bill
also would liberalize the law by
changing one of the present rea-
sons for paid sick leave from
pressing personal emergency" to
pressing personal business Tin
Guiding leave to observe religious
holidays and to participate in civic
and educational work.
In addition, the bill would lib
eralize the law further by specify
ing that teachers should not be
charged with sick leave for Sat-
urdays, Sundays. or holidays rec
ognized by the Board Of Educa-
ton. Under this provision, teach
ers charged with sick leave for
such days would have the time re-
stored. 4
The other two teacher bills are
designed to correct inequities In
the teacher salary act applica-
tions. One is sponsored by Sena-
tor McCarran, Democrat. Of New
ada. at the request of the teacher
union, to liberalize the law in a
number Of respects. The other is

Districts Dog Pound
Will Not Be Moved,
Commissioners Rule

The Commissioners have de-
cided against moving the District
Pound from it's present location
Representatives of several civic
organizations recently had asked
that the dog pound be moved
In the past, the Board of Educa-
ton and the Recreation Depart.
rnent have asked the move.
Poundmaster Frank Marks ad-
vised the Commissioners it woulo
cost about $5O,eOO to build a new
pound. In addition, he said that
moving to location such as Blue
Plains would be detrimental tc
the yearly revenue.
Mr.. Marks said the pound takes
in nearly $4,000 a year from sale
and redemption of dogs and
licenses. He said moving the es-
tablishment to a less accessible
location would cut down its use.
The pound. at South Capitol
and I streets. cannot in any
sense be construed as obnoxious
and noisy to anyone for it is al
ways maintained in a clean, sani-
tary and orderly condition" Mr.
Marks declared.
He pointed out it is a full city
block from the nearest school
surrounded by coal dumps and
gas tanks.
The Recreation Department
feels the pound is not located
properly in the well populated
area, and should be moved to a
more open section.

PAINTING, WIRING
IN PROGRESS ON
DOUGLAS bridge

Remuneration of the Juneau-Doug
las bridge is well under way, al
though recent rain and wind have
delayed progress in rewriting and re-
painting.
Jerry McKinley's three-man crew
has been busy since the middle OF
the month on the wiring job, eX-
peeting to be through now in a
week, weather permitting.
The Mckinley Electric Company
was awarded the Bureau of Public
Roads contract on its low bid of So
021.25. The only other bid was sub
mitted by the Alaska Electric Light
and Power Company, which esti-
mated S3,24425.
According to Chris Wyller, BPR
district engineer, replacement wiz
ing for navigation and obstacle
lights has been urgently needed for
some time. No other illumination Is
being wired.
The wiring project is primarily
to bring the bridge up to Coast
Guard and air safety requirements.
Due to short circuits, the marker
lights have been out from time to
time for several years, and COM
plants have been registered by both
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton and the Coast Guard.
This is the first rewriting since
the bridge was built by the Alaska
Road Commission in 1884. 1t was
transferred to the Bureau of Public
Roads in 1913.
A foreman and six men of the An
derson and Runnels Company, Seat
tie, started work Wednesday on the
contract fer repainting the bridge.
An Anchorage firm has a sub-con-
tract for sandblasting the old paint
