OF JUNEAU
HEIRS TO $4,000
FROM A.G.BR0WN


The people of Juneau are heirs
to $4,000, which must be used for
something that Juneau needs"
according to the will of the late
Augustus George Brown.
The legacy-in gilt-edged secur-
tiles and real estate at present
was left to the city by Mr.. Brown
when he died in Seattle last fall
at the age of IS. The terms of
the will have been carried out and
the inheritance turned over to the
city.
Mr.. Browns will stipulated that
the city shall decide to what use
the legacy shall be put. He sug-
gested it be used as nucleus of a
fund for construction of centrally
located swimming pool-"not in
Evergreen Bowl"
He also suggested in his will that
dam on Gold Creek at the west
end of Evergreen Bowl would make
fine large skating pond for use
during the long winters.
But no decision has been reached
by city officials. Mayor Waino
Hendrickson said today, We're not
going to be in rush to spend this
money"
He said city Officials want first
to determine What project of bene-
fit to the greatest number of people
could be carried out with the funds.
Juneau Pioneer
Mr.. Brown was pioneer of Ju-
neau. He came here first in 1886
from Iowa, where his English par
ents had sent him to study agricul-
ture. His father was a captain in
the British armys 7th Hussars.
He became citizen of the United
States at the U. S. District Court
here in 1891.
A few years later he went to the
Klondike with the late Mark Russell
of Juneau, and became one of the
prospectors who struck 1t rich
After selling his claims, he pro-
ceeded to Nome, where he pros
pected the beaches before going to
Valdez and more prospecting.
