With the expectancy of a June bride the Republicans in Alaska are getting active, or perhaps more ac- curately, staying active now that they control most of the public of- fees. When June is breaking out all over on the 18th and 18th of that notable spring month, the GoPers are going to hold a con- vention at the Mckinley Park ho- tel. Reading back, we note 1t isn't a convention at all, as the Demo- crats like to call them, but eau cus," as the Republicans label such things in Alaska.

Week S Steel Output
Gains Another Point;
Higher RATE Seen
By the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Steel
production is scheduled at 50
per cent of rated capacity this
week, up a point from last week
and another new high for the
year, Iron Age, the national
Woodworking weekly, reported
| today.
1t added that the operating
rate may go even higher before
1t eases slightly for the holidays,
judging by the way business is
coming in now.
More new orders, bigger back
logs and extended delivery sched-
ules show the present trend. the
weekly said, and this means new
business is coming in faster
than finished steel is being pro-
duced and shipped.
Iron Age said the strongest
influx of new orders is for cold
rolled sheets, galvanized sheets,
wires used in upholstery and
silicon sheets used in electric
motors.
Mills also report strong gains
in demand for hot-rolled and
cold finished carbon bars, hot
rolled sheets and stainless and
alloy products.
improvement in demand for
alloy steels is one reason the
operating rate for electric fur
naces has been rising faster than
the operating rate for open
hearth furnaces.

Sewer Payment
Law Clarified

Sewer service charges are pay
able regardless of whether or not
the buildings they are assessed
against are occupied, according to
City Attorney J. Y. Porter.
Porter was instructed Oct. 6 to
examine sewer ordinances for the
purpose of determining if charges
could be made where service is
available, connected, but unused.
In a letter to the city commits
sion, attorney Porter said that in
a search of the city code, he found
Legislation which sets up the sche-
dule of charges and provides that
all revenues derived shall be Gre
dited to the sewer revenue fund
and shall be used solely for the
purpose for which same were ap-
propriated.
But Porter said he could find no
provision of law which would ex-
empt sewer property owners whose
sanitary system is connected to the
public sewer from paying the fee
as prescribed by law, irrespective
of whether the property happened
to be vacant and the service un-
used.
The question rose, when the own
er OF Fleming st. business build
ing. protested that he was handed a
S5S sewer bill despite the fact that
his building. is for the most part,
unoccupied

TORONTO, Ont. @-Fears that
Hurricane HazePs last lethal blow
may have taken more than 100

United States.
River Traps MsnY
Most of the deaths in Canada oc-
Cured along the Humber River,
which flows along Toronto's west
ern outskirts into Lake Ontario.
More than Z inches of rain Friday
night turned the river into raging
torrent that trapped victims in
homes and automobiles.
At one point the river swept
across a bend in its course and
roared through Etobicoke Town
ship. Nineteen homes were swept
away on a single street ther.
Authoritis said last night ghouis
were reported searching bodies for
jewelry and money in the outlying
areas of Woodbridge, Thistle Town
and northwest York. Squadrons Of
police and military guards were
rushed to the area.
Dead Identified
Fifty-three of the dead had been
identified last night. All but few
of the known casualties were in
the suburbs of Esobicoke, Wood
bridge and Weston, all along the
Humber.
The city of Toronto proper suf-
fered no casualties.
Officials said no accurate esti-
mate of property damage had been
made but Fred Gardiner, Toronto
Metropolitan Council chairman,
said estimates ranged up to 100
million dollars.
