surprises
Top Prices Hold
Top quality leaf continued to
bring outstanding prices. Ware
houses this week recorded sales
as high as $40 and many IN the
$50 and $50 ranges.
With the final sale this week,
tobaccomen estimate that fully
90 per cent Of the crop has been
sold On that basis, they antici-
pate rather heavy sales next week
as the growers rush TO meet the
January % date
Sales this week brought the
Markets total dark fired sales to
about 100000. That shows the
effect Of the summer drought.
Last year. 4160.870 pounds Of

 The budget was, prepared, presented and explained by. Robert Sharp, city manager. The revised estimate of reye- nues. calls for $l96. 4l5 or S22. 1s3 more than originally contemplated. Sharp explained that the revised estimate was based on eight months actual and four months anticipated revenue.

 <! Under General Fund Ex- penditures the Legislative ac- count has been increased by $813 to provide funds for council expense and League of Alaskan cities dues. The ac- count for the city tax assessor has been decreased by. $476 as all expenses for this fiscal year have been incurred.
 Professional services for the city have been decreased by $3, 700 principally in other legal expense and engineering fees. The account for police protection took the biggest jump being increased by $7, 903.

Of Child
Safety Month

In a campaign to save lives and

American Legion is urging all
citizens of Seattle to observe Sep

Post Commander 1. A. Arzadon of
Rial Post No. 142, said today
AS the summer vacation ends
and school begins, the Legion is
endeavoring to impress on the
children themselves as well as
motorists and others the necess-
ity in becoming safety-minded,
Commander Arzadon declared.
Good pedestrian habits among the
children of this community can
aid materially in holding acct
dents involving children to mini
mum, he added.
Legionnaires are cooperating
with school authorities in promot-
ing safety education among the
youngsters and strongly urge par
ents to assist them in every way
possible.
safety education for children
does not apply only to traffic, "
Commander Arzadon pointed out.
Though traffic injuries are the
greatest concern, many other ac-
cidents involving children are
equally important. The American
Legion feels that If emphasis is
placed on child accidents of all
types, during the month of Sep

accident possibilities will remain

Sees Little Difference.
For example, the cost of the
Postmaster Generals proposal
is about $143 million, whereas
the cost of the bill approved by
the House committee is about
5000 million. On the average,
this difference represents less
than $3.50 for each postal en-
ploye. Specifically. the only real
difference between the two pro-
posals are a slightly higher en-
trance salary and additional
longevity benefits for employees
with more than II years of SER
vice."
Postal employe leaders prompt
ly disputed Mr.. Moore'S state
ment, declaring that the average
postal worker would get at least
500 more from the House COM
mittee's bill than under the Post
master Generals $3.50 average

The National Association of
PostmasterS. before whom Mr..
Moore spoke, is one Of the few
postal organizations supporting

The Republican commits

fate of classified employees pay
raise legislation hinges directly
on the outcome of the postal pay

Mr.. Moore's- speech also was
seen as an appeal to rank-and-

ganized postal employe unions
to overrule their leaders on the
pay issue. Most of the postal
employe unions have sharply
criticized the Postmaster Cen

as dictatorial, charging that it
would allow him to downgrade
postal employee salaries when
ever he chooses. The unions also
have charged it would give the
Postmaster General widespread
authority to engage in political
patronage.

Congress ultimately will approve
