cluded in the new building.
 Mayor Hendrickson said that a good reason why voters should cast ballots in favor of turning over the city's property to the Territory is so that work can begin on a new Territorial Building before the Leg islature can meet and change its mind about the city in which the building will be constructed.
 Martin Anderson, contractor con- structing the History Mendenhall Apartment building at Fourth and Franklin Streets, and spokesmen for the owners of two apartment buildings on Fifth Street above the property on which the new struc- ture will be built, asked the coun- cil what the city could do about the sewer lines cutting through pro- perty.
 During the first days excava- ton yesterday two sewer lines were cut. Anderson told the Coun- cil that we can't turn wheel until the sewer line is fixed"
 The councils decision was that the city could and would make connections on the trunk sewer line wherever the properties owners wished, and run the line to the curb. It was pointed out that the responsibility for bringing the sewer to the curb was the property own CTS.
 City Engineer J. L. McNamara said for reasons of sanitation work on connecting a line into the sewer trunk lines would be begun today and rushed.
 Discussion of new precinct boun- diaries for the city was held, put it was decided that, although boun- diaries will be changed for the city and Territorial elections next fall, the recently annexed Highlands will be included in the Tihrd Precinct for the Territorial Primary election. Councilman Arthur Walther, the chairman of the boat harbor com- mittee, reported that work on catwalk on the new gridiron at the small boat harbor has been start ed. He said part of the new grid is now ready for use.
 Arnold Hendrickson has been ap- pointed acting harbormaster, he said.

UNEMPLOYMENT
 PAYMENTS HEAVY
 A55ERTS SHELDON

Wide spread unemployment among Alaskan workers has placed an unprecedented work-load on the Employment Security Commission during the past few months, accord ing to R. E. Sheldon, Executive Di- rector.
 Unemployment insurance pay ments to workers who were invol- untarily unemployed during the month of March. amounted to S654.- $500, as compared to $413,997 GO paid in March, last year." says Shel- don.
 The basic principle of unem- ployment insurance is to provide workers with at least portion of their normal buying power during periods of unemployment. There is no doubt that these payments, dis tributed through the Territory, help maintain buying power which pro- vides the worker with at least the basic essentials of living.
 "The Central Office in Juneau has been swamped with requests from claimants who believe their benefits have been unduly delayed It should be pointed out that the agency has taken all steps humanly possible to pay benefit claims promptly. Claimants whose status under the law, i.e., whether eligible or ineligible, is not clear, are re- quested to wait at least a normal length of time to allow for nail delays and routine administrative processing, since requests for spe- cial information only tend to in- crease the work-load in the Central Office and thus further delay all benefit payments.
 "A review of the benefit payment operation discloses that time lapse between the receipt in Juneau of 6 compensable claim and writing of check therefor has ranged from four to eight days. At the present, this interval has been reduced to three or four days following receipt of claims
 Tt should be pointed out, how ever, that some claims are neces- sarily delayed because claims forms have not been filled out properly In nearly every instance where complaints are received, we find that delays are directly traceable to the claimants failure either to fill out the forms properly and completely, or to provide positive information to the local employment office claimstaker. It is urged that claimants be prepared to give dates of past employment and positive causes for separation from last em- ployment before filing an initial claim. This will save time and pro- vide greater accuracy, thereby speeding up the payment process.
 "Economic conditions throughout the Territory would seem to indi- cate that the majority of able bodied Alaskan workers will be placed in employment within ninety days"

The passage OF the Federal Hous-

promise Of improved housing for mi

though the act was passed without
any provisions barring racial dis

The armed services substantially

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Public and

1919 Saw Negroes Make
Definite Advancement

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - The
year of 1949 witnessed a number OF
encouraging developments in the
protection and extension OF civil
rights in the United States, accord
ing to the balance sheets just re-
leased by the American Jewish Con-
gress and the NAACP.
There was not only improved or
concerned with the fight for equal
ity, but the courts decided some IA
vorable victories, and public officials
manifested an increasing awareness
of their obligations to protect and
enlarge the civil rights of all groups
in the population, the report show
ed.
The states enacted more civil
rights laws last year then in any
previous year in the nations history.
Campaigns for anti-discrimination
legislation were conducted with
vary ing degrees of success in more
than 20 states.
-Four states enacted FEPC laws
during the year, bringing the num-
Der of states with effective legisla-
ton against employment in discrim.
ination to eight. New Jersey and
Massachusetts, banned discrimina-
ton in colleges, universities, trade
preparatory and other schools, while
New Jersey and Connecticut improv.
ed the legal procedure for prevent
ing discrimination in places of pub
lie accommodation. Six states pro.
hibited discrimination and segrega.
ton in the National Guard, while
three mid-Western states forbade
segregation in their public schools.
New York City and San Francisco
enacted ordinances forbidding dis.
elimination in publicly-assisted
housing. An anti-lynching law was
passed in Texas and an anti-KKK
mask law in Alabama. At least %
Southern cities also adopted anti
mask ordinances.
The civil rights issues were kept
before the public throughout the
year by means of the public press;
the motion picture industry, which
produced four important and serious
pictures dealing with various prob
lens facing Negroes in this coun.
try; and through the 20 books pub.
Hshed during the year which en-
phasized some aspect of group rela-
tons os their theme.

SOME AMENDMENTS

AS result of this constant fight
for civil rights for all groups,
number of communities established
official and semi-oficial group rela-
tons commissions.
FEPC bill passed the House Of
Representatives, although the more
effective McGrath-PoweIl bill was
