But it carries the proviso that if the cities fail to enforce the |law, the Treasurer has power to deny the refund.

Steele Culbertson, returned to Ju- neau on the Fisheries Bureau vessel Brant Wednesday evening March 3, completing a trip which took | | them to Paviof Harbor, Pybus Bay, Donkey Bay, Farragut Bay, Totem Bay and Duncan Canal. The streams in the aforemention- ed bays were examined for salmon fry and fingerling indications and stream erosion. The fish ladder constructed at Pavlof Harbor about a year ago was examined and found to have suf- |fered no ill effects from winter | freshets or ice. Stops were made on the trip at the towns of Wrangell and Peters- |burg where plants are packing | shrimp through the winter. Crab | towns are preparing their gear for | the resumption of crab fishing oper- |ations as soon as weather conditions become milder. The Brant will remain in Juneau | for the remainder of the week while |the work in the Juneau office is being completed, after which she will proceed south with Agent Win- gard and a portion of the office |ing the spring vessel overhaul and repair work, Both the Brant and Jthe Crane, which carried mail dur- |ing the maritime strike, will have to be drydocked and generally re- paired due to the extreme weather | conditions to which they have been |subjected during their operation this winter. The ten other major patrol vessels of the fleet will also be dry- docked for inspection but extensive repairs are not contemplated.

Voting against the measure were Davis of the First, Laiblin of the Second, McCutcheon of the Third and Smith of the Sec- ond. Supporting the measure were Anderson, Coffey, Dan Green, Ken- nedy, Lichtenberg, Nerland, Race, Rogge, Ross, Nell Scott Tolbert Scott and Speaker Joe Green. _Representative Nerland, veteran |member of the House and Repub- lican from the Fourth Division, led tHe ‘fight on the floor for the me-| Division delegation and: Coffey of 'the ‘Third. Nerland Backs Alaska Plan Pointing out that while he be- longed to a different political party than Delegate Dimond, Mr. Nerland ;declared that political lines should imot_enter into the matter of sup- jporting the Delegate, who, he de- | clared, is trying to put over an Al- |aska development program which is lbeing supported by the big majority {of the people of the Territory. “If there ever was a chance to | support our Delegate in Congress this is it the Representative from the Fourth declared. “I have seen and voted for a great many me- morials in this House but here is lone which I heartily endorse and which I believe is for the best in- terests of the entire Territory. The jlen.st we can do is support Delegate !Dimond on this program.” Mr. Nerland told of the warm in- terest of Dr. Ernest Gruening of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions showed in Alaska last summer when he visited the Terri- | tory. Dimond Wins Support “I talked to Dr. Gruening,’ he and the other officials in Washing- ton are back of us in seeing Alaska go ahead. Delegate Dimond has won wonderful support. He seers to be able to make the contacts with the right men which is getting said, “and I am convinted that he | Representatives Coffey, Ross and Rogge also talked for the bill. “The first question they ask our officials when they go back to Washington,” said Mr. Coffey, “is, “how much money have you in the Treasury. The reply is around a million dollars, or possibly $900,000. Naturally, they then wonder why we dont do something for ourselves. This memorial simply tells the gov- ernment from which we are always asking something that we want to do something for ourselves. Of -the dozens of memorials we have had in the Legislature, Iedare say that with few "exceptions they all ask something of the Federal govern- ment. I think this bill should pass to show them that we are interest- ed in our own country and want to do something to develop- it.” Other Bills Passed Among other bills passed by the House in the final rush hour to get. its measures to the Senate were the bill ‘to appropriate $195,000 to morial, backed by the entire Fourth|carry on 'an expansion program at the University of Alaska and the House aeronautics measure which would set up a civil aviation com- mission of experienced aviation men to handle air regulations and re- quirements in the Territory. The Joe Green bill to appropriate $50,000 for an exhibit at the San Francisco fair in 1939 also was passed as was the finger-print bill of Nell Scott's providing that driv- ers of cars carrying passengers for hire be finger-printed. These bills now go to the Senate. Both Houses took up committee |work this morning and did not go |into_session until 1 o'clock this af- ternoon. — G _ BRINGS PRISONER HERE Bringing.
