Three Bills Introduced Common law marriages in remote sections of Alaska are provided for in a measure introduced this morning in the Senate by Sena- tor Lomen. In Senate Bill No. 44, it is provided that persons residing more than 50 miles from the place of residence of the nearest United States Commissioner may be joined in marriage without ob- taining a license therefor and with- out appearing before any of the of- ficers or other persons entitled to | solemnize marriages. The . only | formality required is for two wit- nesses to be present and the con- tracting parties would be required the fact of the marriage. This statement would be forwarded to the nearest Commissioner to be filed and made part of the vital statistics records. Two ‘measures were introducerd by Senator Dimond, one to amend Section 11, Charter 13, session laws jof 1019, relative to contracts of conditional sales. It provides for a renewal of such contracts by an affidavit from the seller or his agent instead of a copy of the original contract as at present re- quired. ‘The second by the Valdez Sena- tor seeks to amend section 1,865 of the Compiled Laws of Alasko, re- lating to credibility of witnesses by adding the following provisions: “When a party to an action or suit by or against an.executor or administrator appears in hiz own bechalf, statements of the deceased whether oral or in writing concery:- ing the same subject in his owr favor may also be shown.” Saturday a:i:crnoon, President Hess of the Senate appointed three members of the Senate to act with him on the Joint Legislative Com- mittee to inquire into the conduct of the Territorial offices. He named Senator Bragaw as Chairman, Sen- ator Lomen and Benjamin. The House members are: Speaker Winn, Representatives Donnelley, Helle- rich and Murray. No announcement has been made as to the commit- te¢ s program. Odalse of $2,000 per year in the maximum salary of Commissioner of Health, was provided in an amendment adopted Saturday afi- ernoon during the Senate’s con- sideration of Shattuck’s measure to re-organize the school depart- ment of the Territory. The langu- age of the bill was changed to read that the Board of Education should elect a Commissioner at a salary not less than $5000 and not more than $7,000. Several other amendments were adopted, one empowering the Com- missioner instead of the Board to select his own office assistants. The measure probably will return to the floor of the Senate Tuesday.
