Freezing and thawing prevented this although weather was not so cold that work was halted. After all further possibility of frost Is over, said the mayor, streets needing attention will be gone over again, and the streets department likely will give a bit of help to put paved surfaces into their former condition.

Sees Prospect of Coal Agreement WASHINGTON, March 20, A high' army authority disclosed today that, barring the gravest emergency, the War Department had decided to demobilize National Guard units upon completion of their year in Federal service. The same policy also will apply, It.

was said, to the thousands of men who have been or are to be inducted into the army for a year's training under the Selective Service Act. Reports have circulated In recent weeks that the Guard's tour of active service might be extended six months or even a year, in view of world conditions. The War Department has been studying the question in regard both to Guardsmen and Selective Service trainees. Congressional approval would be necessary to extend training periods, under existing circumstances. Recruits to Maintain Strength The army's decision against requesting any extension in the service periods was because the primary purpose of the present peacetime defense preparations was to train as large a number of men as possible.

Therefore, the land forces will be kept up to their intended strength of 1,418,000 men by the induction of fresh selective service quotas and additional three year enlistments in the regular army. The full strength of 1,418,000 will be reached in June, according to present plans. The army then will be composed of about 500,000 regulars, 300,000 to 375,000 Guardsmen and 600,000 or more Selective Service trainees. National Guard units, making up 18 divisions, will begin competing their year's service next September and in the ensuing six months all should be demobilized, unless circumstances dictate a new decision. Limited to One Year Under the 1920 National Defense Act, the Guard's active service in time of national emergency is limited to one year.

Only recently General George C. Marshall, chief of staff, expressed doubt that the army would be strong enough to permit demobilization of the trained and seasoned Guardsmen next fall, and whiter. Recent-surveys of the progress of the training program, however, were understood to have removed those doubts and to have persuaded him to decide upon the present policy. Prepare to Sign Young Men in Second Draft WASHINGTON, March 20, Quiet advance preparations are being made for a second selective service registration day, although only a small percentage of the 16,404,000 men who enrolled last October have been put in uniform. The second registration would be for men who reached their 21st birthday since last Oct.

16. By the time it Is held, possibly in the late summer of early flail, between 1,000,000 and 1,250,000 will have come of age, population experts figure, and thus will be subject to military service 1 Enrollment of the new 21-year- olds was expected to be far less formidable than the task of registering all men between 21 and 35 inclusive which was carried out in a single day last October. The numbers involved are much smaller, the registration machinery has been, tested, and its operation is generally familiar. Of immediate urgency, however, were proposals pending in Congress to alter the draft ages substantially, as a transition toward eventual adoption of the European plan of universal military service for men automatically as they reach a specific age, such as 21.

EAST ALTON, March East Alton Village Board has instructed William P.

Boynton, village attorney, to petition the Illinois Commerce Commission for a lower residence electric light rate, a member of the board announced today. The action was taken after Fred Johnson, a member of the board, pointed out at' a board meeting' Tuesday night that Alton and Hartford both have lower residential light rates than East Alton. Conditions in both places are similar, Johnson pointed out, and said rates for all places should be the same. He added that recently the Hartford Village Board was able to obtain lower rates for residents of that village. He suggested that the East Alton board do likewise.

It was resolved, therefore, that the lower rates would be requested.
