LONDON-—So many girl tele-1
phone operators have been married
lately that the officials in charge
of the telephone service in London
have issued a statement to clients
apologizing for delays and explaining
that all the exchanges are short
handed. “The claims of love have
proved too strong for many of our
} girl employes”, says the statment,
“and we are now in urgent need of
a large number of operators.”

SIMSON’S
FERRY SERVICE
10 CEASE SOON'
_
With the extension of the govern
ment railroad beyond Glacier creek,
the need for the maintenance of the
ferries across Clear creek and Lost
Slough, with the freighting service
to the distant camps, along the old
wagon road ceases, and the ferry
camps will probably be abolished in
a few days.
When the rails have been laid for
a distance of approximately one and
one-half miles beyond Glacier creek,
which is the point at which the
wagon road connecting with the old
wagon road to the distant camps be
gins; all freight destined for points
beyond camp 400 which is now
hauled via the Clear creek and Lost
Slough ferries, will be hauled on
the trains to camp 400 and from
that point sent on to destination
on the wagons.
It is expected that the Commis
sion will establish a freight depot
near camp 400 immediately after
the ferry camps have been done
away with.

ANCHORAGE WILL !
CHOOSE ADVISORY |
BOARD OF SEVEN
ANCHORAGE—Anchorage, which
three years ago w»as laid out and
organized by the federal government
and which since then has been in
, , . : i
charge of a townsite manager em- j
ployed by the Alaskan Engineering 1
Commission, will soon have a coun-1
cil of property owners to advise
with the Commission's townsite man-1
ager on all matters relative to the i
administration of municipal affairs. 1
The advisory council will consist of
seven members and will be chosen I
by property owners at annual elec
tions.
The Alaskan Engineering Com- i
mission, which is the body entrusted
with the building of the government
railroad, was willing to turn over,
completely and without any reserva
tions at all, the control of municipal
affairs in Anchorage to the residents
of the town; but the citizens con
cluded such control was not de
sirable until they had paid in full
for the lots bought by them from
the government at the time of the j
organization of the townsite. The
lots were sold on the installment1
, I
plan.
Under the administration of the
Commission, Anchorage property1
owners are taxed for water, sewer, |
street maintenance, sanitation, which
is for garbage removal, and fire
protection, which for maintenance of
the fire department; but there is no
police court, police department nor
jail expense, as justice is admin
istered by the United States com
missioner and police work is per- j
formed and jail facilities afforded
by the United States marshal’s office. |
The federal government has de
voted proceeds from the sale of lots '
to liquidate construction and certain
of the operation expenses, such as
court, police and jail outlays. These
operation expenses would have to
be met by the property owners if
they should take over the entire
management of the town.
The public school, which was built
two years ago by the Commission,
was turned over to the citizens last
year, and its cost of maintenance
and operation is now defrayed by
a special school tax.
The plan of an advisory council
has been approved by the depart
ent of the interior While the coun
cil. which will meet weekly, will
have no inherent power to enforce
any of its policies, its suggestions
without doubt will be ratified and
given effect, almost as a matter of
course, by the Commission's townsite
manager.
