new PATROL CAR FOR
JUNEAU POLICE TO BE
BLACK NASH SEDAN

The Juneau Police Departments
new patrol car will be a black NASH
This was decided at the regular
meeting of the City Council last
night after Christensen Brothers
local Nash dealers, submitted the
lowest of three bids for medium
priced car.
The Christensen firm offered the
four-door sedan equipped with
heater and defroster for S2,331.5(
delivered in Juneau.
1t will arrive here in about five
weeks.
The car will be fitted with a
wire screen between the front ana
back seats after it arrives.
The Police Department requested
a new car at council meeting two
weeks ago. Chief Barnard E. Hulk
told the council that the pane
truck the department now has i:
badly in need of major overhaul
He said the panel truck is not
efficient for use in chasing speed
ers. 1t was purchased to be used
as both an emergency ambulance
and a police car when the city
was without an ambulance.
The Juneau Elks Club has since
announced it will provide the Gas
tineau Channel area with an am
bulance.

TO 5ITkA
PASSENGER RATES
TO BE cut BY AGA

Fares between Sitka and Juneau
will be Topped IL percent by Alaska
Coastal Airlines June /, A. B. Hol-
den, co-manager of the company
announced today.
The fare reduction, subject to APP
proval by the Civil Aeronautics
Board will mean a total saving OF
$3.50 for a one-way flight. he said.
There will also be reductions in
children's fares and express and
freight rates. The usual 10 percent
reduction for round trip tickets will
be continued, Holden said.
The company made a similar
downward revision in fares on the
Haines and Skagway route a year
ago, and on the Petersburg, Wran-
CELL and Ketchikan route two years
ago.
Holden said the fare reduction is
possible only because of the in
crease in the number of passengers
on the Juneau-Sitka route.
Flights are scheduled between Ju-
neau and Sitka each morning and
afternoon. Alaska Coastal Airlines
will inaugurate a third scheduled
trip when the need arises. Holden
said.
The Juneau-based airline pur-
chased a 24-passenger Consolidated
ply aircraft last summer and its
| fifth Grammar last month, putting
the company into an excellent po-
sition to accommodate all requests
for transportation which may be
made" he stated.

CITY AWAITS MONEY
FROM TERRITORY
FOR BUILDING Site

No action can be taken by. tie
city to acquire site for new
municipal building until the Terri
tory pays the city 100000 for the
City Hall property and the vacant
lot adjoining it on Fourth Street.
Meanwhile the city council is
looking over possible sites for the
new structure. Councilman James
Larson said at the. City Council
meeting last night that many peo-
pie he has talked with believe
downtown should be left as a
business district"
Larson is chairman of the city
property committee.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson tolo
The council he will see Territorial.
officials early next week in an
effort to get the funds. The. Ter
ritory agreed to pay the 100000
for the City Hall property and the
vacant lot next to it.
Juneau voters agreed at special
election April 20 to accept this sum
for the property and to give the
Arctic Brotherhood Hall property
to the Territory as a site for new
Territorial Building.
A city assessor was appointed at
the meeting of the council last
night, but he will not be named
until after an informal council SEES
sion Wednesday night, the council
decided. Three applications were
received.
Other business carried out by the
council included the authorization
to the Juneau Transit System to
extend its route to include loop
through the Highlands district.
The new route, which will not
be brought into use until street
improvements have been completed.
will include a loop from Glacie,
Highway, over Behrends Avenue
to Highland Drive, and over High
land Drive to Glacier Highway.
Mayor Hendrickson instructed
Police Chief Bernard E. Hulk to
cite contractors for violating the
traffic code by moving vehicles
with lugged wheels over city streets
and damaging streets.
He also instructed the police
chief to watch for violations of
the section of the ordinance pro-
hibiting spilling of oil on city
streets.
A motion was passed calling for
an estimate of the cost of cutting
Parks Street through. The street
would connect Alder Street in the
Scatter district with Benrends Av-
enue in the Highlands and would
permit the laying of a six-inch
water main for fire hydrants. The
council also authorized the city en-
gineer to call for bids on the job
after the cost estimate is made.
The council also passed unani-
mously a motion calling for pur-
chase of 1000 feet of new two and
one-half inch hose for the Juneau
Fire Department. Cost of the hose
is $166 per foot.

LIBRARY FUND GOES
OVER TOP AS NICK
BEE GIVES $1,000

Like a salmon free of the rapids
in its long upstream pull to reach
its Spawning grounds, the Juneau
Memorial Library fund made a
prodigious leap today-even though
it had reached that long-sought
$4,000 ground-a leap 81 800 high.
Yesterdays contribution from the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Union of Juneau put the drive right
into its "cycle"-which took four
years to make-and today's totals
put it further than even the
heartiest optimist on the library
had dreamed Of
Responsible for this mighty las
leap are four canneries operated by
Nick Bee, wellknown Alaska salmon
packer. who gave 81 200; five mem
bers of the Alaska Department OF
Fisheries staff. who gave $50; ant
an anonymous pledge and contribu-
ton totalling $170.
Four checks from as many can
neries in which Bee has an interest
when they arrived on the desk OF
DR.. James C. Ryan. library boaro
member. brought gasps from al
concerned. B. d. Stewart. acting
drive chairman, couldn't say any
thing, DR.. Ryan took off his glasses
and wiped his forehead; and the
Empire representative just kept
shaking his head and trying to keer
the tears back.
The four canneries are the Todo
Packing Co., located near juneau
and Bez' Alaska home; the P. e
Harris Company, recently purchased
by the Bee interests; Peninsula
Packers, and the Columbia River
Packers Association, Inc. Each gave
a check for $3.50.
That same morning c. L. Ander-
son, director of the fisheries de-
partment, announced to DR.. Ryan
that he and his staff had $50 for
the fund-and then in the mai
came a $3.50 pledge and $40 check
from unknown donors.
Thus the weeks total adds up to
more than has been brought in for
many, many weeks-$2. 1929. Last
Saturday saw $92219 needed tc
finish the uphill drive.
This money isn't unneeded in
any respect, because change Of
plans in the building OF the new city
hall has changed the picture some
what--a single heating plant hac
been planned for the two buildings
when they were figured on going
up together between 4th and 5th
Streets and siding on Main.
The city council now is looking
for a possible spot somewhere else
but it is definite the library viii
go on 4th Street, where it had beer
originally planned some years ago
This means new plans for a fur
mace room and new underpinninf
which will cost money
how much hasn't been determined
yet. but it will be figure not esti-
mated during the days when it was
believed the two structures would
be side by side.
The General Services Administra
ton, federal agency which will
match funds for the building. will
do the actual construction, and
then upon completion, will turn the
building over to the library board.
Plans have heretofore beer
handled by the federal agency, but
these required changes will 5e
assumed by the board itself, tc
speed up matters, and expenditure
will eventually be matched in the
same manner the building itself
will be.
