LOWELL CREEK
WORK BROUGHT I
UP IN COUNCIL
The controlling of Lowell Creek was
the subject discussed at the special;
meeting of tin* City Council and thc>
Citizen’s committee last night. J. J.i
Finnegan sent a wire to Mayor Cot-1
ter stating that there would probablj
be an item in the appropriation of the
Alaska Enyineering Commission for
$25,000 for part of the work on Low-i
ell Creek. Mr. Finnegan also stated1
that there was no chance of a direct j
appropriation being made by Con-!
gress for Lowell creek improvement
and asked as to procedure regarding!
asking Congress for a bond issue for J
the city’s share of the improvement
provided the A. E. C. secured an ap
propriation.
As the appropriation committee,
meets every Wednesday at Washing-!
ton, Mr. Finnegan was asked to re-;
port what the Engineering commis-j
don’s appropriation was for the ini- j
provement and the City Council amF
Citizens’ committee would advise la-«
:or about the bond question.
At the meeting last night several
favored bonding the city for it’s pro
portion of the improvement work and j
>thers favored citizens taking war-j
ants covering the outlay.

ANTI-TORPEDO
DEVICE GIVEN
EXPLANATION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. — Hud
son Maxim, the great inventor, has
appeared before the senate ship in
vestigating committee and outlined
his plan for protecting ships against
torpedoes fired by Hun-U-boats. He|
stated that the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration would not listen to his ideas
and he therefore hoped to have tae
committee advise ihe conducting of
experiments whl<b would determine
the value of his plans.
H.s proposal is to iine the hulls of
ocean-going steamers with cylinders
containing water against steel screens.
When a torpedo hits the ship the ex
plosion is to hurl the water against
the screens, atomizing it, which would
disperse the heat and absorb the gas
os before their expansion could do
much damage.
Maxim stated that a cargo of uu
ples, potatoes or other produce con-|
Laining much water would work to the
same effect.
Concrete “skins” for steel ships was
mother suggestion made by the in
ventor in the hearing.* In his opinion
oncretc ships are the best pro*♦v:ed ’
against torpedoes, and in cases of;
ships afready built or partially con-!
st rue ted of steel, he urged that they
be given an outside “skin” of con
crete.
