CITY TO FILE
 SUIT AGAINST
 INSURANCE %.

The City Council of Juneau last night authorized City Attorney Stabler to bring suit against two insurance companies and the A. aska Industrial Board unless a judgment in the case of George F. Martin is paid by next Thursday.
 A total disability award was made by the Industrial Board to Martin in an amount of $9,852l0 which has grown to approximately $10,000 with interest and other fees. Mar tin claimed carbon monoXide poi soning while a city employee He later sustained other injuries which he traced to the original injury. Meantime the City which had car ried insurance with Hanson and Rowland at the time of the mon- oxide poisoning, switched insurance companies to the American Cas- ualty Go. Each company disclaims liability and a judgment was filed against the City for payment.
 Hot Water for Water Co.
 It was decided that unless the Juneau Water O. submits a satis- factory financial report as direc- ted, that the company's self-im- posed water rate increases will be cancelled out. The contention was that the water company should submit utility reports on the same basis as those given by the light and telephone companies.
 Meetings Every Thursday
 On third and final reading an amendment to an ordinance was passed that provides for regular City Council meetings for the first four Thursdays of each month.
 Boat Harbor Ordinance
 A comprehensive ordinance rela- ting to the harbegmaster and the small boat harbor was passed on first reading.

The matter of rental rates to be included was laid over until the next meeting.
 Telephone Tax
 The Council decided that the telephone excise tax should be ab- corLoJ br, fIa I,,raanDoroIoe rroI ephone Go. and should properly be charged as operating cost instead of being passed along to customers. The City Attorney was directed to investigate and write q letter to the company to cease and desist from collecting such tax from GUS toners This action, it was pointed out, did not apply to the city sales and service tax.
 Small Boat Harbor Work
 A bid from J. V Cole for removal of portion of the present sp- proach to the small boat harbor and construction of a new one with City materials was accepted His bid was S6,418 and he promised to begin work within a week which in- cluded painting of materials. Two other bids opened and read did not meet specifications.
