Tc Increase Employment While the language immediately following the portion of the Az last above quoted refers imme- diately to the appropriation of $-00,000,000 for expenditure on roads under the Federal Highway Act, the following paragraph in- cluded under the same heading and within what may be callec the same subsection, carries the appropriation of $10,000,000 for for- est roads and trails, and it is ob- vious that the appropriation of for forest rcads and trails, as well as the appropriation of $100,000,000 for Federal Aid Highways was made ‘for the pur- pose of increasing employment by providing for emergency construc- tion of public highways and other related projects’. Accordingly, the only reasonable construction which can be placed upon this portion of the deficiency Act is thai the amount is to be expended during the fiscal year 1935 in order to aid in the relief of unemployment T think that long delay in the ex- penditure of .this amount would run counter to the expressed will of Congress. It further appears that this appropriation for forest roads and trails of $10,000,000 i< ‘to remain available until expend- ed in accordance with the provi- sions of such section 23" “Hence we have an expenditure on forest roads and trails in Alas- ka during the fiscal year 1935, the following sums: Carried in Department of Agriculture appropria- tion bill approved Mar. 26, 1934 Carried in the deficiency appropriation bill (Pub. 412, 73rd Congress, ap- proved June 19, 1934) the fellowingz: Auska's share of $3.- 000600 under the 1st fparagraph of section 23 of the Federal Highway Act $20,059 Alaska's share of the re- maining $7,000,000 of the Appropriation $671,067 $ 350,000 691 12€ $1,041,126 Iz Now Available “So far as I am able to deter- mine after consulting men more skilled than I in the interpretation of legislative provisions, there is no shadow of doubt but that all Total N NO COME ON.

Eccnomic Use Possible I am advised that there is ample room for the expenditure econom- jcally in Alaska of all of the funds available for expenditure on high- ways, roads and trails there. In fact I have before me a blue print of a forest highway program which would call for the expenditure of more than $5,000,000. It is obvious that the application of $1,000,000 to the more economically worthy of these projects would be money well expended aside from the fea- | tures involving relief of unemploy- | ment. “The prompt adoption of a pro- gram for the expenditure of this sum of $1,041126 so appropriated and now available will mean much to Alaska in every respect.” Efickson In Washington After attending the Nal fonal | Education Association convention |in Washington, Everett R. Erick- son, of the Juneau school faculty, departed for the West via tne Panama Canal. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Stubbs of McKinley Park are motoring from Washington to Connecticut to spend the remainder of the rum- mer. Seward Gets Money Harold L. Ickes, Public Works Administrator, has notified Mr. Dimond the loan and grant allotted to Seward for construction of a municipal public utility system will not be made available in view of the failure of Congress to pass legislation authorizing Seward to issue bonds. However, the money will be ear-marked for Seward until February 1 in the thought that prior to then Congress may act favorably. Alaskans in Washington were thrilled July 11 when the Columbia Broadcasting station in Alaska was linked with Admiral Byrd's camp in the Antarctic. ‘The voice of Senator Alfred J. Lomen of Nome could be heard clearly for a couple of minutes and then faded. The announcer could then be heard introducting another speaker, but it was impossible to distinguish the speaker’s name and nothing further could be heard. Alaska Colony Increases The population of the local Alas- ka colony was recently increased by one when a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Thomp- son, formerly of Fairbanks. The baby has been named George Eu- gene. Former Governor William Sul- zer of New York, visiting in Wash- ington today from New York City, said he plans to start, within a week or two on his annual trip to Alaska. ———————— EDUCATOR MAKES TRIP 6 ON STR.

S. S. Wright which have been arranged for this evening were announced. The visitors who will come to Douglas in their own boats at 7 o'clogk are to be met by Chair- man Arne Shudshift of the Cham- ber and Mayor Goetz. If the can- nery is in operation they will be shown through there, also taken to other points of interest, wind- ing up at the ball park where the Wright band will play a concert. If it should be raining the band will play in the Natatorium. Refreshments And Dance At the conclusion of the concer: the band will play for a dance which is also to be in the Nat Between the concert and dance and throughout the evening re- freshments will be served for the Navy men in the Eagles’ Hall by the women of the town. A large crowd of visitors is ex- pected from Juneau to attend the dance. Consmittees Report Final report from the committee on Publicity was rendered and th: committee discharged at the meet- ing. Committee on Harbor im- provement also submitted a brlef report. ——.e—— CANNERY HAS BIG RUN Canning operations at the local plant were given a big boost yes- terday when both tenders arrived in port with 32,000 salmon between them, and all workers at the can- nery put in a long shift which ex- tended into the wee hours of the morning. A ST S WYLLER TAKES RESIDENCE TO START ROAD SURVEY Mr. and Mrs, C. W. Wyuer have ditions of unemployment existing in Alaska, as well as elsewhere in the United States, it would seem that the expenditure of this money should be made at the earliest date consistent with economic opera- tions. I therefore request and in- deed urge that the entire amount be programed as soon as possible and not the amount only of $500,- 000 which you advised me yester- day the Department’s representa- tives in Alaska had been ordered to program. There is another rea- son why in Alaska prompt action is necessary and that reason is based upon the comparatively short working season. If road construc- tion could be carried on all win- ter there would be no such need of speed but even in Southeastern Alaska, where I suppose most of the work will be done, it is prob- ably not economically feasible to earry on road work for several months in the winter time.
