BUSY SESSION HELD
BY CITY COUNCIL;
SPECIAL MEET MON.
In addition to action taken oil
building a fire hall, the Juneau
City Council last night heard city
departmental monthly reports for
March, a number of complaints,
passed a resolution to change four
bus stops and discussed many city
housekeeping matters.
The problem of storing or keep
ing the city library open was dis
cussed and it was decided to at
tempt to locate a place where it
can be kept open. The only location
to date has been a church base
ment, the rental of which will be
$125 a month, which council mem
bers felt was excessive.
A card of appreciation for the
use of the AB Hall for meetings
was read from the Alaska Potters.
A petition from Dr. John Geyer
and C. B. Holland requesting a
property line determination on
Dixon street before retaining wall
repairs were made, was referred to
the street committee.
A card table license was granted
to Pied Carrello of the Dreamland.
Asborn T. Nygaard was denied a
request to move his liquor store
from 223 Admiral Way to 186 South
Franklin, after a petition signed by
15 businessmen in the 186 Franklin
area was read objecting to another
liquor store in the vicinity.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson re
ported that the Fish and Wildlife
Service would vacate warehouse
space now occupied in the AB Hall
by May 1.
Jack Manery was present and
reported that the night watchman
at the boat harbor had done a good
job and requested that his services
be extended another month. No ac.
tion was taken on this. He also
brought up numerous other prob
lems including water for the har
bor, and access to the grid.
A resolution was read and ap
proved regarding changes in four
bus stops. New stops will be at
Front and Seward, Front and
Franklin, Franklin at Ferry Way,
and First National Bank. These
places will be marked accordingly.
Hendrickson asked councilmen to
begin thinking about the appoint
ment of.a city assessor about May
1.
Mrs. Leo Osterman appeared to
request something be done about
periodical water deluges at 415
Rawn Way' and said large cracks
were opening in the bank. This was
referred to the street committee.
Ralph Beistline was present and
requested installation of a culvert
on Park Road to check flood waters
filling his basement and otherwise
causing damage in that area. The
street foreman was directed to
check it.
A special meeting will be held
next Monday night to consider
further moving problems, demolition
bids, traffic problems, the library
and other matters.

! NIEMI RETURNS
FROM EXTENDED
INTERIOR TRIP
W. J. Niemi, chief of the opera
tions division of the Alaska Road
Commission returned Thursday
from an inspection trip which cov
ered westward and interior Alaska.
Niemi left recently to survey the
road situation prior to the spring
break-up, and covered all the main
highways, including the Glen,
Richardson and Alaska highway
and also the Tetling Junction-Eagle
road which is in the process of
construction to connect Eagle with
the Alaska highway and Dawson,
Y. T.
He reports that the roads gener
ally, are in excellent shape for the
coming break-up but it was felt by
ARC that certain restrictions will
have to be enforced for three or
four weeks. Truck loads will be cut
below the maximum at present
allowed, and it may be possible
that all truck travel will be elim
inated for a short time as was the
case on the Alaska highway last
year.
Niemi said that truck travel over
the Alaska highway has been very
heavy until the past week or two
when the Canadian government
clamped restrictions on sections of
the road in Canada which had an
earlier break up than in Alaska.
Thompson Pass on the Richard
son highway, he reported, is in
good shape and the time bf year is
now practically over when any ^
trouble in traveling it should be
encountered.
He inspected the Olen highway
and then went up the Richardson
highway as far aa it is open, a
few miles this side of Paxson.
From Paxson Niemi went to Tet
ling Junction and then up over the
new road construction to the south
fork of the Forty-Mile river, the
end of transportation. This road,
when completed this year, will con
nect Eagle with' the Alaska highway
and Dawson. He went down the
Forty-Mile for a distance of about
40 miles where crews are freighting
road and bridge material over the
river ice in preparation for spring
operations.
He said road contractors on all
the interior roads are now begin
ning operations and everything
points to the possibility of a very
early start on roadwork this spring.
U. S. TIN CORP.
GETS FIRST DMA
LOAN IN ALASKA
Negotiations have been completed |
for a $375,000 RFC loan, through the I
Defense Minerals Administration,
to the U. S. Tin Corporation of
Seattle for extending its operations
in tin mining on Seward Peninsula,
according to George Sundborg, head
of the Alaska Development Board.
This is the first DMA loan made
in Alaska.
The U. S. Tin Corporation has
been operating a tin placer mine at
Loft River, near Cape Prince of
V.- for r.ome time producing
about 100 tons per year. They have
now obtained a certificate of neces
sity from the Defense Minerals Ad
ministration to install a mill to mine
lode tin. Pudding of the mill is to
start immediately.
On completion of the mill it is
estimated that about 100 tons of
ore will be produced a day during
the first year, with 30 to 40 men
employed. The coming two years
will see increased production and
employment.
This section of the Seward Pen
insula is the only place on the
North American continent, or un
der the American flag, where tin is
produced. Concentrates are shippec
to the company’s own smelter in
Seattle. Previously they were
shipped to Texas, then the only tin
smelter in the U. S., but when a
new system of extracting the ore
was discovered, which produced a
finer grade tin, U. S. Tin Corpor
ation built the Seattle smelter. Be
fore World War II, the company
sent its tin to Singapore to be
smelted, as the Texas plant was
not then in existence.
The company, under its new op
erations of lode mining, will employ
local help in that area.
Since 1904, Sundborg said, four
million pounds of tin have been
exported from Alaska.

HERO
\4n
3E3
Delbert L. Powell, 4, holds his
two-week-old baby sister in the
charred doorway of their home
after he saved the baby's life as
fire destroyed the family home at
Sweetwater Tex. A kerosene stove
exploded in the room where the
children were playing: and as Del
bert explained It, “It went pop,
pop, nd smoke and fire went ev
erywhere.” He lifted the baby
from her crib and carried her
through the burning room into
the yard where his grandmother
and brother and sister were. The
loss of home and possessions has
a tragic familiarity to the family.
Three and a half years ago, a gas
stove exploded in another resi
dence where they lived, burning
the house and killing Mr. Powell.
