A public meeting of the people of Wrangell is hereby called to convene in the Redmen’s lodge room, upstairs in the Redmen’s building, on the evening of Monday, March 15, at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of a public discussion of the question of whether the Town of Wrangell shall issue bonds in the manner prescribed in H.R. Bill No. 10746 which has passed the Senate and the House of Representatives and been duly signed by the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. This question will be submitted to the voters of Wrangell at a special election held on Tuesday, April 6, 1920. It is believed that a public discussion of the question will result in a better understanding of the matter thereby enabling the electors to vote more intelligently on the question. The meeting will be open to all, but an special invitation is extended to all voters, both men and women. By the order of the town council. J. W. Pritchett, Mayor.

In general science class, consisting of freshmen and sophomores, Mr. Lemke, instructor, has taken nearly a week to collect all the ideas of the pupils as to what Alaska will be like in the future. All of these papers were good and many of them were highly imaginative. One of the compositions told the bare truth, which is: “The weather will turn many people away from Alaska.” After these compositions were read, Mr. Lemke talked on transportation, fishing, lumbering and other industries. He stated that all these future activities will depend on adequate transportation. We all hope that these, would you call them “miracles”? would occur.

Following a week with more than the usual number of calls concerning dogs, James Hasenohrl, acting chief of police, said the department would appreciate it if everyone would work harder on keeping dogs under control. Dogs have been following children to morning school bus stops, Hasenorhrl said, and added that “children and dogs don’t mix around bus stops.” With spring approaching, the warm weather is making both dogs and children more active outdoors. “They like to run,” the police officer pointed out. “Make sure your dog is vaccinated and a Wrangell city license is in effect.” Hasenohrl cautioned.
