A meas- ure by Mr. Allyn, Nome, secks to exempt from municipal tax levy property not used for commercial purposes, owned by associations of ex-service persons. A bill provid- ing for an appeal from the United States Commissioners’ Courts to the district court in certain cases, was introduced by Mr. Winn. Mr. Bro- sius introduced a bill appropriating $150 to defray the costs of moving the Territorial Library and Mu- seum from its old quarters into the Capitol building. The Heuse this morning passed a measure providing for the recovery of public money, funds or property illegally diverted. Labor Measure Introduced In a resolution introduced by Mr. Johnson, Ketchikan, today, prefer- ence to Alaska labor on public works is urged as a public policy and the Alaska Inter-departmental Commission, composed of Gov. Parks, Commissioners Charles H. Flory and Dennis Winn are asked to take steps to bring about this object. The resclution calls attention to the recent order of the Commis- sioner requiring the use of Alaska materials on public works and de- clares that certain public works on which unskilled labor is largely em- ployed has been awarded to Out- side contractors who, it is reported, are bringing in many unskilled la- borers to perform the work. It adds: “It is the sense of this Legislature that the rule adopted by the Inter-departmental Com- mission as to materials » e extended to include the working men of the Territory of Alaska . likewise, and that all contracts concerning public works on roads, buildings and otherwise, to be per- formed in this Territory, should . stipulate Alaska labor be utilized wherever possible.” % —————— MIsS BOYER HOME BOUND .

An Undivided Alaska One of the great needs of the Territory today is a union of minds and purposes, declared Senator Hess in a short but forceful and graceful talk. Alaskans ought to think of Alaska as a unfty, not by Division; or by district, but in terms of the whole, he added. He, |also, endorsed the all-Alas- ka Chamber of Commerce project, praising the ‘local Chamber for its/ untiring ‘efforts to bring about nsi realightion, He ‘expressed his per-: sonal pride in Juneau as the capi- tal city of Alaska, with its paved | gtrects, its great mines, and pro- gressive spirit, and in the beauti- ful -capitol in which the Legisla- thre is mow holding its meetings.
