An effort should jof be made, he said, to save it. Similar with reference to No. 41, would give pay boosts to Territorial | cfficials. In that case, though, there was no eruption—the main problem | being how to make the amended | measure conform to other acts al- ready passed. The Senators did concur to House alterations in Senate Bill 37, estab- lishing a Tax Commission, Senate Bill 50, amending the law regarding the Board of Account- ancy. The Senate recessed until this afternoon, following annocunce- ment of a noon caucus of all mem- bers of the Legislature from the | Third Division, teudiscuss the con- firmation of the appointment of Z. J. Loussac, of Anchorage, to the Alaska Housing Authority, which was to come before a Joint Session of the two Houses this afternoon. Last evening’s Joint Session had refused confirmation when que: tion as to the nominee's citizen- ship status was raised. AUTOMOBILE REGISTERING BILL PASSED One additional House Bill, No. 53, requiring registration of motor vehicles, was approved by the Al- aska Senate this morning. The measure carried unanimously, to- gether with the emergency claus after it had been substituted' i tup spot on the calendar for Senat Bill 63. The lengthy Motor Vehicle Cod was withdrawn to be held over fc action by the next Legislature, tw years from now. A motion by Senator Don Carlc Brownell, for the Senate to res cind its “No” vote on House Bi 41, making a $9,000 appropriatio 1o pay bills of the Griffin Memorie Hospital at Kodiak, failed to wi approval. The vote was 8 to 8. Senator Grenold Collins, who ha previously opposed the Kodia measure, changed his vote to “Yes after remarking that the “Lid ha elready been pried off the Por Barrel” by the Senate’s action yes terday in voting a hospital t Fetershurg.

All were gathered and pre- | pared for exhibition by L. B. Hows- ley, local amateur conchologist, who presented the collection of 123 shells to the museum. For the more technical seashore | hobbyist, thes ils belong to the genus “Tha ch includes dog | whelks and purpura.
