There seeraa to prevail with, j
some people the idoa that it is not
their duty to report any remarks

Must Get Pass
To Go Upon
Wharf
I ______
"There ;>re no exceptions to the
order requiring every one to have a
ipass before being permitted to pass
a guard at the wharf entrances,"
states United States Marshal Tanner.
"Not even myself nor any of my
I office force will be allowed to pass
j without showing a permit." says a
recent Juneau paper.
I The enforcement of this order
created some excitement on the
part of those who had been enter
ing the wharf grounds largely on
their own recognizance. But, as the
Marshal explained, thig order has
been in effect and strictly enforced
in the states for some time. Wharf
watchmen havn orders to let no one
pass without proper permits. •
Passengers going to boats will be
permitted''to pass, unless the guards
! have special order to the contrary.
| on their tickots. Passengers coming
!off the boats, will retaiu their ticket
stubs and present these in lieu of
' passes sjiould they wish to visit the
town and return to thes boat.
| It seemed to be the prevailing
opinion at the marshal's office that
passes wouJd' only be issued to those
j who actually had business requiring
their regular attendance at the
, wharves. And In order to secure
a pass, one must take up three pic
tures of ones self, size 1% by 1%
i inches, to the marshal's office
j These pictures must be identified by
one's employer or some other re
! sponsible person should' one not
: have an employe.r A thumb print
will t>e requiied as a further identifi
, cation, to be placed on the pass. One
of these pictures will apj>ear on the ■
pass, one will remain in the mar
shal's office, and one wiH be sent
to the department of justice.
