How ever, the Alaska Public Works has to have more security than the Tobacco Tax and therefore, the Town has to back up the project with General Obligation Bonds of the Town of Wrangell This does not mean that General Fund mon ACo " III nave Lu DE uSCA AUdSliIuCu as all other towns are building schools under this same set-up, there should be little chance that the tobacco tax will be taken.
 WATER PROJECT:
 Approximately $125.O00 Cagain on the final cost of the project.) This amount is to be- paid over a period of 20 years with the money coming from the reyen- ue Of the Water Fund. The annual payments to the Alaska Public Works will be approximately S7,-I 500 (again depending on the cost of the completed project.) Again, the Federal Government needs more security so the Town will have to issue General Obligation Bonds. If need be, the Town could no doubt use sales tax monies for some of this payment for the first two years, or until the S4,00O in existing bonds are paid off After; that time the present water rev enue should be able to take care of the payments, if we don't have an earthquake or something else to break the new system apart

WRANGELL COUPLE MARRIED IN PETERSBURG
tFrom Petersburg Press

lFfom HeterSDurg Press)
 The home of Mir. and Mrs. Ed Dnhl was the setting for a pretty wedding at 6:3O Saturday evening, July 26, when Anna Hansen and Ingvald Nore, both of Wrangell, were united in marriage. Pastor John Hopp performed the cere- mony. The only attendants of the bridal couple were Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Hansen, also of WrangelI.
 The bride came to this country only recently from Bodo, Norway, which is the former home Of Mrs. Iuhl
 The bride and her attendant wore pastel afternoon gowns and the brides bouquet was of white English iris while her attendant g was of royal blue.
 Baskets dF red tiger lilies and white fo1glove were used in the living room.
 Immediately after the ceremony the party had a wedding supper at the Recreation dining room. Re- turning to the Dahl home the new lyweds cut the wedding oake which was served with coffee.
 Massed bouquets of violas and white carnations provided the cen- terpiece for the table and a lovely background for the white wedding cake with it's confeetion flower decorations.
 Besides the bridal party, Mir. and Mrs. James Leekley, Bud Peterson Mir. and Mrs. Pete Thynes and Mrs. I Carlson were guests.

would entail yearly payments of s4,600 out of the sales tax funds
 Along with the sewer project mentioned above comes a little CD problem. To put the sewer In Front Street from Grants Corner to the pavement, the slabs and seawall a. long there must be removed as they cannot lay sewer pipe in the slabs. This will make a seawall (retaining walD necessary and, of course some dirt to take care of the rotten slabs. This project should be part of the above sewer project and will probably cost the town another $1O0,000, which would have to come from the sales tax also, and backed further with General Obligation Bonds.
 I believe this brings the propos- ed payments out of the sales tax to about $24,20O a year leaving the Town about s6,SO0 a year to spend on the hospital, health nurse. ad- ministration of the sales tax and school budget, if desired.

MAYOR TO GO AHEAD WITH MOVIE HERE

At Che request of some I7# peti-
 tion signers, Mayor Eern E. Smith at Tuesday nights City Council meeting agreed to go ahead with es-
 tablishing a motion picture theater
 in the old school gymnasium build
 ing. He was granted a years lease
 on the building by the Council
 with an option for another yealr.
 Rent will be $75 per month with
 the Mayor putting the structure in shape for operating a movie.
 Lease had previously been grant ed the Mayor but due 10 objections from some residents of the com munity. who wanted to retain the old gym for a youth recreation cen ter. he had withdrawn his request. explaining that he didn't Wunt to try and provide entertainment if the residents didn't want it.
 Tuesday night. L. NJ. Williams. Jr. presented the Council with a petition which had been circulated around town during the last week. bearing 174 names, and asked that the Mayor reconsider his project and that the Council grant a lease. Williams. appearing for the peti- tioners, explained that the signers were interested only in getting a temporary show house going to fill the gap until a new theater is built to replace the fire-destroyed Coliseum. He said they would be happy to have any person interest ed go ahead with it. and with the Mayor apparently the only one in- terested. urged the Council to grant the lease.
 There was only slight objection from the newly formed Parents and Kids Association. The Rev. Paul Evans explained this group was not opposing the movie, but they were thinking in terms of ad- ditional recreation facility for the children. However. he brought out in view of the expected completion of the new gym next month and school starting, thus affording school children recreational facil- ities. the need for the old gym was not urgent. He suggested that the Council look forward 10 turning it into a recreation center next year or al some future date when the town could see it's financial way to do so. :.
 The Mayor asked that his lease be effective as of August 15. and said he would proceed immediately thereafter to get the show in oper- ation. He said he had been able to obtain projection equipn,e n t through the Territorial Veterans Commission which had it returned on a loan, and was able to procure some chairs in Skagway. These are. on the dock there and ready for shipment. He has made arrange ments for films through the B. F. Shearer interests and they will be shown here right after Ketchikan and Juneau.

MONDAYS OF AUG. II & IS CLOSED TO FISHING

Regional Director Clarence Rhode of the U.s Fish and Wudlifa Ser vice announced this afternoon taat al a conference in Juneau and d study of field reports from agents and industry representatives il Nas decided to extend the week end closing period for fishing over Monday Aug. II, until a. m. Tuesday morning and also Mon day. Aug k. until a. m. Tues day, Aug. 10.
 Adding Che two Monday 24-hour periods to the regular week end closed period is aimed at providing for an adequate escapement of fish to the streams He stressed thal the streams are very low at the present time and Che fish have difficulty getting up 10 spawn.
 What We need is good rain which would help the situation" " node commented in telephone conversation with The Sentinel.
 His reports from the field. Dir
 etor Rhode said show the run senerally through the Southeast districts to be sketchy fair show ngs in some arms and very poor in others
 We are hopeful this 24-hour ad- .itional closure plan for the two Mondays will work out and that no additional closure will be necess- ary,' Rhode said We are trying 10 make 1t as fair to every one as possible. Although this is an off cycle year. actually the mck 10 date is ahead of previous off-cycle years. Better, in fact, than we eN pected."

on it. One can expect anything, but 1t is our considered opinion thak Reeve, who doesn't represent the Interior Department, and probably won't, will wind up with a major ity vote in the October election. All Bartlett has to do is make another speech like he made about Neil Moore in the Primary and he'll de- finitely be looking for job. Which. the way we get it in our fishing mood, would be just as well.
 New Secretary
 The new secretary and money raiser of the left wing Democratic party in Alaska, according to re- liable report, is primary-defeated Robert Bob" Sheldon of Fair banks, ex-head of the Employment Security Commission, who ran a beautiful campaign against Attor- ney General Jerry Williams a d Secretary of Alaska Joe Kehoe Bobby. incidentally, was running for nomination for Auditor, but mo- body would have ever known it. Of course, as history records, Neil was nominated and Jerry and Joe, as far as we know, had no cause. for concern.
 But Bobby is the new money raiser and We can expect to see things happen from now on. In former days Bob was one of those office holders who contended that he could not contribute because he was under the Hatch Act, federal law which prohibits certain federal employees from participating in political activities. Bob was a Ter ritorial employee appointed by the Governor and approved by the old Employment Compensation Con- mission.
 Well. if you get letter for mon- ey you'll know who it's from.

Champagne Appetite

Councilman Val Beals summed up his view of the project with the comment that 1t was one of those champagne appetites on n beer in- come"
 Councilman William Eastaugh wanted to know where the money was coming from for the city's portion of the cost, and up to ad- journment of the session had no reply. The Councilman also wanted to know of former Mayor Hanford what happened to the sidewalk from the end of the Front street paving to Grants Grocery which, Bastaugh said. Hanford had prom ised when he was Mayor.
 If I had continued as Mayor we would have had it built" snapped Hanford.
 It was brought out that a re- quest for planning money in the amount ot s16,00O for the project was being considered by APW, one half of which would be charged to the city. After considerable furth- CT discussion, Councilman George NJ. Smith, chairman of the Finance committee, moved that the Council reconsider it's action of Tuesday night and leave the way open for obtaining a more accurate estimate of the actual cost of the project. The motion carried. Burke advised the Council his agency would ob- tain a Ggure on what the services of an engineer to survey the pro- ject would cost and submit the same to the Council for its approE- al or rejection before further &C., tion was taken. Meanwhile, the Council passed a motion by Coun- eilman E. J. Wheeler to ask for preliminary planning money whe- ther if or any portion of it was used.

Hanford Plan

Wednesday, former Mayor Fred c. Hanford, now head of OPS En Juneau, who has been serving as a liaison official for the city in ne- gotiating with government agen- cies, came to WrangelI and with William c. Burke, public works en- gineer, met with the Council to further consider the project.
 Hanford pointed out the merits of the undertaking stressing that it was an opportunity the city might well not have again to beau tify the waterfront. He advanced the thought that a portion of the seawalI be built and continued from time to time as the town could afford it.
 Several personal clashes enliYen- ed the discussion. Mayor Smith de- manded to know of his Council whether they were for or against improvement of the town. Council man Art Nelson replied that, for instance, because he wasn't in fav- or of building a causeway to Vank Island it didn't mean he was a. gninst improving the town and wasn't for it's development and ad yancement. He stressed that he thought there were other improve ments the town needed more at thist ime than a seawall at the high estimated cost.

sEAWALL BECOMES HOT TOPIC AT
 COUNCIL MEETING

To build or not to build a sea- wall was the problem eentaring the attention Of the City Fathers this week.
 At Tuesday nights regular Council netting. the members de- cided to abandon the proposed sea wall project on grounds that the last report of estimated cost. S600j ! 900, was more than the town could afford.
 At a speenl meeting Wednesday night. the Council voted 10 recon slider it's action and leave the way open for further study of costs.
 Several estimates had been giv- en the Council, it was pointed out. Mayor Vern E. Smith reported that while he was in Juneau recently. Alaska Public Works had arrived at a figure of S276,OOO for the sea wall. or this amount. the city would pay hnh, or s138.000. Pledge Of a grant of S5O.OO0 from road and aviation funds has been made to the town, the Mayor cyl plained, which would leave the city's portion at $88,OOO.

Marx Estimate

While thee ouncil was consider ing this proposal with the thought of possible bond election, Lester Marx of the Washington office of Public Works and Donald Wilson. Alaskn Director visited Wrangell in connection with the proposed project. Marx gave an estimate of the cost at around $500, ,OO0, it was reported at the Council meeting. Various other estimates have been offered, depending on the area to be included, fill, etc, it was ex- plained.
 In view of the Marx estimate, the Council without objection. moved to drop the matter, thus paving the way to encourage re- building in the burned out area.
