Mr. Bartlett referred to the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce’s flat stand‘ against the measure and suggested | that its purpose might not be com- pletely understood. In clarification, , Delegate Bartlett wrote: That his main idea in introduc- | ing H. R. 2704 was to remove the | need for Alaska cities to come to | Congress every time they have a | bonding question which would ex- {ceed the 10 per cent limitation | under which freedom of action is now permitted. Secondly, he distinguished be- {tween General Obligation bonds | and the Revenue Bonds with which his measure is concerned. He fur- ther stated that he is considering seeking amendments to Alaska’s Organic Act which would remove present limitations with regard to | General Obligation Bonds. There is | at present, he said, confusion as| to whether the limitations set by | Congress do apply to Revenue Bonds. H. R. 2704 should settle that question, he pointed out. | Third, Delegate Bartlett stated | that his bill did not include pro- | vision for referral to the voters| because, on checking, he had found | such referral is not the general| practice in the various states, with | regard to Revenue Bonds. He indicated that if such provision is| desired by Alaska cities, he will| take steps to have the bill so| amended. The second Bartlett letter | offered a statement by Allan John- stone, General Counsel for the Federal Works Agency, who said | that only in rare instances do! state laws make referral to the| voters mandatory. | In general comment by the Ju- | {neau Chamber members, wmch\ ‘preceded today’'s vote, Harry Sper- | ling proposed that more than 15| per cent of the taxpayers be re- | | quired to demand an election on! such Council actions. That is a| very small minority to be able “to | toss a monkey wrench,” he declared. Curtis Shattuck declared himself | ‘opposed to a petition’s being re- | | quired to demand a vote, because “making the voters fight” for what should be ‘their undis- | puted right. A vote should be mandatory, he claimed. Charles W. Carter asked for specification in! J(h(\ proposed amendment of at' ) least 30 days in which the voters | | may take action. | | Mayor Ernest Parsons voiced his | that the Bartlett Bill, as it is proposed to be amended, is the “thing we should have.” At- torney R.

He asked that the| | Juneau Chamber follow the lead .aot by Ketchikan and go on record. | flatly against the bill, which he| | said “is essentially wrong.” | | Mr. Robertson further stated i that he thinks the proper solution is a change in the Organic Act | to empower the Legislature to set | \standnrds for the cities. | Nome Authorized Home Construction WASHINGTON, May 3.—The Na-| {tional Housing Agency today author- |ized the privately-financed construc- :non of 15 family units at Nome, :Al:nka. to sell for up to $8,000 or rent up to $65 monthly. | — e | NEW YORK, May 3-The Swedish home radio said today at 1 p. m., | | {Eastern War Time, that British ‘w!ou s were expected to enter | Danish territory “this evening” |and reported that a heavy battle | between Germany Army and SS itroops had broken out near the ‘Dnni.sh city of Aarhus. ————— e TILKEN IN JUNEAU J.
