 Your reporting of a recent Coun- cil meeting made interesting read ing. It is heartening to know that we have a councilman who is try ing to guard our tax money. To de- sire his removal would be as ridic- ulOus as to request President Els enhOwer to remove the guards from Fort Knox. .A A
 It is nice to know that the pro- posed breakwater is not going 10 cost the city any money, but from past records, projects of this sort have habit of opening avenues of expense not thought of before the work was begun It might be well to review the record of project Sea wall over the Federal property. Mention of this is not to be criti- cal but to point out that they do cost money and are generally paid by taxation.
 The agreement signed by Mayor Smith is rather vague in it's word ing and can only be classified as a general agreement in which the eX- penditure is limited to the sum of $25,000 The project is classified as a 'breakwater" but no mention is made of the fill behind it and who is to pay for same. Sewer pipes will most Likely have to be extend ed from Front Street out beyond the breakwater, the present system being inadequate to run off the surface water as after every rain fall there are a series of ''sloughs' along Front Street and rivers run down the side streets. Then, there is the leveling and maintenance of the area, all of which will cost money.
 We are soon coming to the 50th anniversary of Wrangells first fire. The devastation covered the entire business section and the loss could only be charged up to lack of water to put out the blaze This month. in 1852. we suffered our second fire. It was similar to the first in scope and the loss was due in a great measure to the lack of :; good water supply. In between these dates we have had two large anneries burn to the ground. We now come to the present and what do we find no water. no fire pro- lection. Our Hfe's gatherings in property is ever at stake. So far, We are fortunate that some insurance ,onpanies will still underwrite the risk.
 For a town to progress, it should have at least three essentials - power. water and good sewer sys- tenn. With these we will have some thing to offer when industry takes a look. otherwise why should they invest and risk their money?
 let us use our tax money to pro- mote the essentials to the making of q town. SH'

Democrats Hold
Congress Edge
Assured of 13-Vote
Majority in House
BY J. A. O'LEARY

With only a few House seats
still in doubt. the Democrats
seemed sure today Of going into
the new Congress on January 3
with at least the same margins
they had this year.
Democrats are leading in four
of the five House districts still
up in the air. But they already
are assured of 231 seatS-13 more
than they need for control, and
only one less than they had in
the old Congress.
1t is fairly certain now that
the Democrats will organize the
Senate regardless Of two unusual
factors which have threatened
to upset their thin numerical ma
jority of 40 to Al.
LauSche Unpredictable
One of these factors was the
possibility that unpredictable
Gov. Frank Lausche. Democrat
Of Ohio, might vote with the Re-
publicans to organize the Senate.
The other was the possibility
that Gov. Shivers Of Texas
might accept the resignation of
Senator Daniel, Democrat Of
Texas. and appoint a Republican
Ior Eisenhower Democrat to fill
the seat temporarily.
Either Of these DEVELOPMENTS
would create a tie, which Vice
President Nixon could nreak in
favor of the Republicans.
But Republican Senator ELECT
JavitS of New York has said he
will not give UP his post as New
York's attorney general until
January IA, and Gov. Lausche
has announced he will stay in
the Governors chair until his
term ends on January IA.
SnlVerS move waited
The question of what Gov
ShiverS will do about replacinI
Senator Daniel, who will become
the new Governor of Texas, wa.
still unanswered today. But il
Gov. Lausche and Mr.. JavitS are
not sworn in as Senators during
the first week of the new session
the Democrats would have {
majority on hand to organize.
The first test on organization
probably will come within a few
days after Congress meets, or
the election of a President Pic
Tenn to succeed Senator George
Democrat Of Georgia, who is re.
firing.
In Texas Gov. Shivers is moi
expected to reveal until next
week what he intends to dc
about a Daniel successor. Some
Of Senator Daniels friends be-
lieve Gov. Shivers is delaying
in order to make a temporary
appointment. One law in Texas

session, the Governor shall
