B. 40, S. B 35, S. B. 27 and S. B. 1 'he Judiciary Committee returned a substitute for Senate Bill 1, which creates the office of Admin- istrator General. The substitute was accepted in lieu of the original bill when Chairman Cochran explained hat the principal change made is ding appointive officials al- in ofiice. Under the provi- sicns of the substitute, they would |not be affected. Controversial Provision Senate Bill 40, which is expected to evoke considerable discussion, is a Walker measure amending the 11946 Veterans Act. The disputed | provision in the bill is new matter which would exempt from the one- half of one percent tax “any sale made to any person, firm or cor- poration engaged in business in the "hnx(m\ for resale to the residents and inhabitants thereof at retail and upon which the one percentumn gross revenue levied. .applies.” Purpose of the proposed change is to eliminate pyramiding o1 the ans Tax. The bill drew a “do pass” from Judiciary and is ready for tomorrow’s Senate calendar. S. B. 27, by Cochran, is an Act to repeal provisions of law which established a rritorial Depe ment of Criminal Identification a Investigation in the office of General. Since that s been inactive due to no ap- propriatior it was not thought that the bill would be controversial I until a split report came out of the Judiciary Committee today. Chair- man Cochran and Senator Vietc C. Rivers concurred in a “do pass recommendation; but Senatois E. B, Collins and N. R. Walker recom- mended “do not pass.” H. B. 13, which received a not pass” from Public Health, i bill to establish a tuberculosis iso- on unit in the Aretic, Amendment Adopted S. B. 35 is another Walker mea- sure to amend the Veterans Act. It more explicitly defines what trans- !actions are subject to the gross tax. !An amendment proposed by the Taxation Committee was adopted |and with that amendment the bill carries a “do pass.” The amend- | ment makes pro on_1or refunds in case of tax overpayment. Another amendment proposed by the Taxation Committee was adopted into another Walker mea- sure, S. B. 44, which is designed to increase the motor fuel tax. The bill would have raised the tax from cne cent to three cents per gallon The commitee amendment makes the incre frem one to two cents, and provides that the revenues go into a fund to be known the agen- “do a as the Highways, Harbors and Air- ficlds fund. It was stated that the present one-cent levy is returning the Tcrritory approximately $300,- D00 biennium. On Free Lisi S. B. 44 now goes to Finance Cun\» mittee with a “do pass” from Tax- on. Walker seconded the amend- ment to his bill S. B. 31, by Cochran, providing for a re-compilation of Alaska laws, came back from Judiciary with an tamendment attached and that amendment was adopted. It adds District Courts and Marshal’s to the list of those agencies and of- ficials entitled to free copies of the recempiled code. “Do pass” was the committee recommendation . Otherwise. Other committee tions were: From Education~H. B. 26, (pro- viding for enrichment of bread and flour) “do pass;” S. J.

B. 25, (relat- |ing to the descent and distribution ! of real property) “do pass;” S. B. 26, (to adopt the Common Law of | England as a part of Alaska eriminal law) “do pass;” S. B. 28, (relating to the organization of the eoffice of the Attorney General) “do pass;’ S. B. 29, (amending laws regulating the practice of law) “do pass.” New Memerial One new memorial, 8. J. M. 7, by Walker, was introduced in the Sen- ate this morning. It asks that work immediately begin on the Bar Point Boat Harbor Project at Kechikan; referred to Fisheries. A motion by Senator Cochran that courtesy of the Senate floor be extended to members of the House, at all times, was adopted by unanimous consent. The Committee of Conferences with the House regarding House Jecint Memorial 3, reported that a compromise had been reached which strikes one “whereas”. from the original. Three other para- graphs deleted by the Senate are to remain in the measure. The re- port was adopted by the Senate. The paragraph stricken refers to the site of the old Federal building at Valdez as an ‘“eyesore.” . The memcrial asks construction of a new Federal building there, ———— I T I T ) > WEATHER REPORT ® Temperatur for 24-Hour ® Period Ending 7:30 o'Clock .
