Owlue to the absence from town
of Mayor Ashley, A. C. Blanchard
was voted to act as olialrmaai at
the regular meeting o£ the city Coun
cil last night. Roll call showed tliat
Wm. Wright was absent.
Lit'.e business was transacted b
the council. The Public Works and
Property Committee, N. O. Hardy
chairman, reported a small house
had been secured from the vicinity
of the court house which will be re
moved to the skating rink where it
'will be used as a sort of club room
where skaters can put on and. take
'off 'heir skates and where a fire
will be kept burning during the
skating hours.
The treasurer'^ report was reau
and a number of bills against the
city were allowed.
Phil. Abrahams, representing) Mrs.
E. T. McBrien, of Mio Alaska Gen
eral Electric Co., stated that iu as
much as many people were leaving
town for the winter and many
phones had been taken out of
private homes and business houses.
Airs. McBrien requests the council to
help pay the salary of the night
telephone operator who is kept on
duty largely for reasons of fire
protection. In case of an alarm, cen
tral Is always called first and it is
her duty to ring tbe automatic bell j
which recently was installed by the
city. Mrs. McBrien stated through
Phil. Abrahams that if it were not
for this alarm system she would not
keep an operator on duty after 12
o'clock at night, hence she be'.ieved
the city should help pay the salary.
Mr. Kennedy pointed out that thn,
hours after 12 o'clock were tho moit
dangerous in case of fire. The coun
cil decided to let the matter rest
until the Fire and Water commit
tee could interview Mrs. McBrien.

ORGANIZATION
PLANS FOOD
IKE FRIDAY
The different captains of the
Skagwav food saving organization
are making plana for the drive
for signatures to the food pledge
which 'will take place Friday. It la
hoped that every house Wife In the
city; 'will sign the pledges so that
Skagway can report 100 percent of
its population agreeing to the plans
laid down by Herbert Hoover, who
represents the United States in
food conflevatlon.
Juneau has an enviable reputa
tion, only a few of its inhabitants
refusing to sign the card. Ketchi
kan did well. In the Liberty Loan
no town did better than( Skagway,
but to keep up our reputation
evory home in the city will have
to agree to the pledge.

POLICE CHIEF
The fight to oust Chief of Po
lice Harding is to be carried to the
federal court. Yesterday J. H.
Cobb filed two suits against Hard
ing. The first 6Uit is for heavy
d»ma«es uuder the title of Mary
Modainl vs. Harding. The plaintiff
alleges that she accompanied her
husband on board his fishing boat,
and while returning Jionie was ac
costed by the police chief who, af
ter knocking her down, took her
| to tho jail where in a dazed condi
tion •• ne was further mistreated and
fined $5 under aai assumed, name.
The second complaint signed by
the same plaintiff asks the judg«
of the federal court to remove
Harding from office.
The police department claims tho
plaintiff was a former occupant of
tho red light district, lias an un
savory reputation. They claim
there was uo assault but the chiel
did have to use slight force in ar
resting the woman while lutoxicat
ed upon the street.—Juneau Dis

of an earth curvature of oven seven
