Chamber Group Favors A United Fund Drive

MemDeTS or the CnamDer Of Commerce voted to explore the feasibility of organizing all the City's charity efforts into a United Fund Drive The vote was almost unanimous to consolidate collec- tionS for charity into one drive.
 Howard DemareSt and Clarence King presented data on the organ izing of such a drive. In his speech, Demarest pointed out that estab- fishing such an organization would eliminate continual soliciting. Tt may take several years to get it working smoothly" he said, "but in the long run, the City would benefit" The drive would be made each year and would include every one, as we'll as merchants and businessmen. Under this plan, you can still designate what organ ization you give your funds to, he said
 A Board of Directors for the new organization was voted in. Those voted to serve were Emil Knudsen, Dr. Bob Johnson, Ben Kraft, Betha Digree, Bob Acheson, Rev. John Molletti, Harold Booth and Ken Kincaid. Wilton White and Irene Brooks received tie votes.

Along The Waterfront

cISSHuy painted DOdLS are Q0t- ting the waterfront once again as the fishing season fast approaches. Halibut boats, and the salmon fleet are moving in and out of the channel, evidence of the great fish cries industry assuming its mantle of activity.
 More specifically, Halferty's Can nery shipped its first pack of razor clans to the States on the Alaska Steamships Lucidor this weekend Over 4200 cans F flat size of Pic neer Mince clans constituted the, first shipment. The cannery is again canning this weekend. The Yarsh left yesterday for the clam beach at Swishak, and the beaches are being worked during the low tides which prevailed this week.
 The Cannery has five new jit- neys which arrived on the LucidOT They are of the latest type and are powered by Chrysler Crown en- zines.
 The crab canneries are getting ready for salmon canning opera tions. Pete Deveau of the Island Seafoods states they intend to pro cess reds If there is any fish" And of course they will can the later runs. The twin-screw barge Seldovia, arrived the other day, The skipper, Clarence Sandnes and Don Wright, chief engineer aboard will fly back to Seattle to pick up the Cannery's tender, the Kesilod, which will be used here this year.
 A number of boats are tied up at the City Dock float Among those noted are the Miss Arctic, the Mist, the Juneau, the King Fish, the Western, the Venture, the King and the Dungeness.
 There are quite few boats at the Standard Oil Float also. They are arriving daily from points around the Island. Bill Torsen has just received his brand new boat, Cape Cheerful" which came aboard the Lucidor from Seattle Capt. Smith, skipper of the ms sionary boat, The Evangel, was being held up by bad weather, but was anxious to get under way to Larsens Bay. He may have left.
 Howard Sloniger, skipper of the Civair, which plies between here and Woody Island, stated he saw a couple of King salmon jumping out in the channel. This welcome bit of news ought to whet the ap- petites of sports fishermen. Les Serum, who just returned from the States, said he saw a 69 pound King at Ben Paris which was caught near Ketchikan. We'd like to see one of our local Isaac Wal tons hook on to one here. Two fish don't make run, but its worth a try.
 Merrill Coon says schedule of arrival and departure of the CAA Woody Island boat is on the bulle- tin board of the Standard Oil Of- flee, for anyone wishing to see it.
 Chet Turner, general Superip- tendent of the Kadiak Fisheries, was in town this week, but left for the cannery.
 Tiny Cichoski's Skippy is now ready for the water. Alvine and GibSon's crew have been giving it a complete overhaul. It looks mighty good, and it is rumored Tiny might break bottle of cham

The delinquent tax roll sale, which takes place today and con- tinueS until some disposal of the property is made, came in for considerable discussion. The Coun- cil withdrew the Kodiak Ice and Cold Storage plant from the list, after study of the original agree ment and subsequent correSpon- dence left some questions to be answered. All correspondence re- lating to the property will be sent to the City attorney for study, and a legal opinion.
 One question, among others, which arose from a clause in the original agreement, which specifics five year moratorium on taxes after the plant is in operation. So far, of course, the plant has not operated.

City Council BrH@TSs

The installing of meters on the City'S water system came in for considerable discussion at the special Council meeting held Tues day night. Opinions were expressed by the Council members as favor ing meters as means of combat ing the shortage of water expcri- enced last winter.
 The City Manager was instruct ed to outline program of inStaIla- tion. He will map out the City water system, determine the area of first installation, the number per year, whether the installation will be outdoor or indoor, approxi- mate cost of each installation, the cost of the meter and type of meter. He will report back to the Council at future meeting.
 The Council concurred on charg- ing monthly for water under the meter system, and also felt the owner should be billed as now.
 One more application has been received for the position of City Clerk. H. E. Trivetts, an account ant in Juneau, has made applica- tion. A decision will not be made until the qualifications of all ap- plicants have been thoroughly re- viewed.
 Marion T. Howe, local account ant, and Mrs. J. M. Floyd, Jr. are the two local applicants.
