MEASURE Communication System and Flood Control Projects in Bill by House (Continued from Page One) $6.000 over thi the fiscal year 1936 has been made necessary appropriation for This increase by the flood which did much damage last fall to the flume used to carry the waters of Lowell Creek by A bill has been introduced the Delegate calling for an examination and survey of this project by the Army Engineers in order to determine whether or not it would be feasible w carry off the flood waters of Lowell Creek by a tunnel through the mountain. For Rivers and Harbors This appropriation bill contains an item of $136,677899 for rrivers and harbors work. No particular projects are specified in the bill but the testimony of General Al- lison, General Pillsbury and others before the sub-comumtitee disclosed that of this sum $£38,677,899 is ne- cessary for maintenance of existing projects and that the balance of $100,000,000 is designed for new work, practically all of it on proj- ects that have already been com- menced Projects Commenced While it is within the power of the Chief of Engineers and the tary of War to choose any projects which have been approved by Congre: including the ten ka projects which were car- ried by the Rivers and Harbors Bill passed last year, it is tremely probable that this appropriation of $100,000,000 if not increased in the Senate, will be used exclusively for projects which have been hereto- e commenced but not completed sing many cases it is necessa to continue work on such projects in order not to lose the value of t already has been done. New money the amount of $390.000,- 000 would be required to compiete the river a ork that has been heretofore authorized by Con- gress, and this amount does not include the Passamaquoddy tidal power project which is estimated to cost $38.732,000, nor the Atlantic- Gulf ship canal a Florida timated to cost $138,000,000. Lost Fight en Issue When the bill was under consid- eration in the House, attempt w made by mark portions of (lie total appro- priation for rivers and harbors work in their respective districts but all ;such attempts were voted down overwhelmingly It is possible that some misunder- stapding has arisen in Alaska over report of the Chief of En- gineers for 1935. This report lists several members to ear-| profitably expended in the year 1937 for new work.” Cordova Work With respect to most of the proj- cts the amounts carried in these al items embrace the entire | but in the case of the Cor- small boat harbor project the | il amount estimated to complete fiscal cost, dov ¥ the work is $295,000, while the | amount recommended to be spent| v the fiscal year 1937 is set at 000. This does not mean that | the project will not be completed | that the estimate -has been | changed but rather it is recom- | mended that the work be spread | over two years with an expenditure of $180,000 the first year and the| balance the succeeding year | Nome Harbor Similarly with respect to the| harbor at Neme, Alaska. It is esti- ' nated that $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year | 1937. However, in this case the re- port of the Chief of Engineers contains the following statement ‘The extension of the jetties is not urgently needed at this time.” During the course of the debate on the rivers and harbors item of the bill, Delegate Anthony J. Di- | mend inquired of Representative Manstield, Chairman of the House Rivers and Harbors Committee, with respect to the authority to select projects upon which the $100,000.- 000 appropriation should be expend- ed. Judge Mansfield, as is indicated by his reply shown on page 2168 of the Congressional Record, be- lieves that the Chief of Engineers | and the Secetary of War may make the selection of any approved proj- ects and they are not bound by any! list of projects which may be with- in the contemplation of the Bureau of the Budget. The general opinion | is, however, that the projects pass- jed by the Budget are the only |ones which will be undertaken.

When this item is reached, I expect to offer an amendment to increase the amount to $450,000. If the House refuses to approve the amendment, it will be presented to the Senate Committeé for action and its' passage urged.” Use of the Club’s telegram in his arguments before the Ho is an- ticipated by Delegate Dimond. Committee’s Stand Stated That the House of Representa- ives subcommittee on Post Office appropriations is aware of the value of the proposed air mail program for Alaska is revealed in a letter received today by the Territorial Chamber of Commerce from Rep- resentative Louis Ludlow of In- diana, Chairman. The committee decided that the proposal might be put over until better times, in view of the coun- try’s enormous debt, according to the letter “Your Delegate, Mr. Dimond, made a most able and intelligent presentation of the needs of this service,” Ludlow writes, “and - of- under F, fered an amendment on the floor! of the House and supported his amendment with a very logical and! impressive speech.

The Tallapoosa reached Sitka at 8:30 o'cleck this morning, and is carrying on regular radio traffic while the army operators erect new power lines and install motor gen- >rators ana a transmitter. The Sig- nal Corps expects to be operating as usual again tomorrow. Tribute was paid today to Law- J 'ence Burrow, amateur short wave [{ operator ‘at Sitka, who maintained H communication with the outside un- | til the arrival of the cutter. Burrow flashed messages via his station, KTEKE., to Prince Rupert, which J{ then relayed them to Seattle and | Juneau. ‘Word received in Juneau today by Postmaster Albert Wile stated that he only need of the Sitka post of- fice was money order applicati blanks, which indicated that mail | {and post office records and receipts | were not destroyed, as first report- ed, in the razing of the historic structure. ‘The Customs Service previou received word that its records were Station Lost in Fire Being| TOHOLD SIXTH DEMONSTRATION /ocational Department Ar- ranges Evening, After- | | noon Affairs Plans have been completed for the sixth cooking demonstration in the | home economics section of the Ter- ritorial Vocational Schools.
