SALES TAX BEGINS
AUGUST 1; RULES
TO BE AVAILABLE

Collection of Juneaus one-per-
cent special purpose sales tax will
begin August l, the City Council
has decided.
This was announced at the reg
MAR meeting of the council last
night. Rules and regulations gov
erning collection of the tax were
accepted, after some changes had
been made in those drawn up by
CITY Attorney Howard Stabler at
the councils direction.
The council ordered the printing
of the rules so that they will be
available to anyone wishing to
study them before the tax goes
into effect.
Mayor Hendrickson said after the
meeting that an announcement Will
be made when the rules are ready
for distribution.
At special election June TO-
Juneau voters decided by a slim
margin in favor of the tax, pro-
ceeds from which will go into
special fund for paying off the
city's present and future bonded
Indebtedness.
The tax will end in the quarter
that the city's bonded indebted
ness is paid off.
Architects Chosen
The council passed a motion
naming the firm of Foss, Malcolm
and Olson as architects for the
planned municipal building which
will be constructed at Marine Way
and South Seward Streets.
1t also accepted the bid OF the
Thorpe Contracting Company for
clearing and filling the Harri Ma
chine Shop property on which the
new building will be erected.
The firms price for the job was
$4,000. Five bids were submitted.
One of these was rejected because
of discrepancy.
The contractor will keep all ma
terial in the burned-out building
which can be salvaged and will
complete the clearing and filling
job within 80 days from the date
on which he receives word from
the city to proceed with the work.
Wages liked
City laborers, truckdrivers, n.y.
drant caretaker, and gradermen
were granted a 25-cent hourly wage
increase by the council last night.
The action came after Coundl-
man J. P. Christensen called to
the attention of the council the
need to increase the rate Of pay
for the street workmen before
trouble starts"
He pointed out that the present
rates-$l37 per hour for laborers,
S15O for drivers and hydrant care
taker, and $l.75r for gradermen--
were well below the wages asked
by union drivers and laborers.
He said that, although the lower
wage rate is compensated some
what by steady employment, he
believed a wage hike should be
granted retroactive to July 16.
Councilman James Larsen made
the motion for granting the wage
boosts, and it passed unanimously.
License Transfer Approved
The council approved an appli-
cation for transfer of the liquor
license held by Warren L. Hager,
operator of Buds Bar, to H. c.
and Georgia Bryant.
A motion was passed providing
for the calling of bids for the city's
pile-driver 1t was stipulated that
the minimum acceptable bid should
be $1,000.

MIzE 5WATS OUT
BALL FOR YANKS
IN BIG COMEBACK
BY RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sportswriter


The big cat is on the prowl again.
Johnny Mize, who terrorized Ma
tional League pitching for so many
years, is blasting away as of old
for the New York Yankees in their
American League pennant bid.
Big Jawn, who a short while ago
was on the brink of drawing his re-
lease, has hit fantastic .867 for
his last four games. He began to
purr against st. Louis Tuesday,
and has banged out Is hits in Is
trips-including five home runs -
since then.
Mics amazing performance has
raised his batting average 119 points
from 258 to BIT.
Big Comeback
Mize assembled the heights of his
comeback last night as he belted
out two homers, a pair of singles
and drove in five runs to lead the
Yanks to a smashing 14-5 victory
over the pace-setting Detroit Tigers
in the opener of a vital three-game
series at the Yankee Stadium.
The overwhelming triumph. wit
messed by 62823 fans, cut the Tigers
lead over the Yanks to IL games.
The Yanks can assume the lead by
winning today and Sunday.
Mize, who took over the fourth
slot in the batting order when Joe
DiMaggio became Ill, was kept in
that position against the Tigers. Di-
Maggie dropped to fifth. The move
paid off as DiMaggio dubbed three
singles and double.
The Yanks jumped off to lead
they never relinquished. The Bomb
ers cracked Lefty Ted Gray for two
runs in the first inning, added two
more in the second, and drove him
out with three in the third to take
TO lead.
Vic Raschi, Yankee starter,
BANKED the Bengals on two hits 60
ing into the fifth. The Tigers sud-
denly came to life and scored four
runs to knock Raschi out.
In National League
The pennant race in the National
League also frightened up as the
Philadelphia Phils tied the st. Louis
| Cardinals for the lead.
The Phils, behind the eight-hit
pitching of rookie Bubba Church,
beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. Al.
Eddie Watkins scored three of the
victors' runs and Dick Sisler drove
home two. Ralph Kiner accounted
for Pittsburgh's run with his 18th
homer in the eighth inning.
st. Louis dropped Sd. thinning
decision to the New York Giants
An error by Eddie Miller allowed
Alvin Dark to score from third with
the winning run. Stan Musial sent
the game into overtime with two
out homer in the seventh, his 18th
off Sal Maglie, who went the dis
lance for the Giants. Cloyd Boyer
went all the way for the Cards.
The third place Boston Braves re-
manned a game off the pace by drop
ping 4-3, 13-inning game to the
Chicago Cubs. Bill Serena singled
| home ANDY Pafko from second with
the payoff run, spelling Johnny
Sains bid for his 18th victory.
Brooklyns fourth-place Dodgers
moved to within two games of the
co-leaders by trouncing the Gin
cinnati Reds, I'll. Veteran Preacher
Roe tanned the Redlegs on ght hits
to pick up his 18th victory.
