Bill Introduced In the winter of 19089 and 1910, James Wickersham, then Delegate to Congress, introduced and worked for the passagé of a bill appro- priating $250,000 for the purchase of a site and the construction of @ Federal and Territorial Building at’ Juneau. Congress reduced the amount to $200,000 after granting 80 appropriation of $40,000 for a Governor's House ‘at Juneau. The bill was passed by both Houses, June 25, 1010. The selection of a site and nego- tiations for its purchase started immediately after the passage of the bill, the Honorable Walter G. Clark, the Governor of Alaska, tak- ing the leading part. The aid of the J u Chamber of Commerce was enlisted and John Reck, F. Wollard and John Malony !W' appointed a committee wmch eight lots was $22,500.
