THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA FISH TAX APPROVED BY HOUSE Rate Now Set af One Per; Cent on Halibut, Butter (lams, Freezer Fish By JAMES HU' TCH[‘QO‘\I passed bill on raw fi rday afternoon, 20-4, and approved a measure to empower the yrial Commissioner of La- b to aid in wage collection Vote on the wage collections was 23-1, after two days ments and attempts to amend The lone dissenting vote was cast | by Marcus Jensen, Douglas Demo- crat. He argued: “T question the advisability of al-{ lowing the Territory to spend $100 or $1,000 to coilect $5 from a work- r. As pointed out in discussion it’s often just a dispute over terms or some other issue Frank Angerman, Democrat, replied: “If industry abides by its wage payment obligations, the Territory won't have to spend anything for collect ons.” ! The four voting against the raw fish tax bill were Doris Barnes Amelia Gundersen and James Nol-, an of the Southeast Alaska fishing area, and Glen Franklin, of Fair- tanks. Frankim sponsored the biil with . Jensen, and as a negative voter will 1 be eligible for a later conference | comm ttee appointment to assure a full House committee of bill sup- porters to iron out differences with | the Senate, if it passes there. A closing attempt to cut the pro- posed halibut tax to one-half per cent failed, and it now remains ai one percent. The same applies lo‘ salmon which canneries receive for | other than cann'ng purposes, and for butter clams.

Heusing conditivns, for Alaska’sj Natives, are improving, according | to Bob Druxman, Juneau puhm, relations counsel, who recently | made an insection trip of Axcuc' and Interior Alaska for the Alaska Native Service. Don C. Foster, ANS General Sup- erintendent, says Druxman report- ed he found many Eskimos and Indians moving out of their form- er homes into more modern hous- ing. The sod igloo is being abandon- ed for modern insulated frame buildings. Some of these have two or more rooms and are com= parable to those found in a modern Américan city. Some homes even have two stories. Druxman stated that the change is being influenced by the advice of ANS personnel who have point- ed out the unsanitary aspects of the old, primitive type homes. The Natives have purchased the nec- essary building materials through ANS from money they have earn- ed. The village of Point Barrow is one of the leading villages on the basis of new homes but many others are catching up. Improve- ments include more sanitary wat- er and meat storage B HOUSING FORUM AT JUNIOR (C MEETING NEXT FRIDAY NOON Following a club ing public issues to come before the Legislature, the Junior Cham- ber o Commerce of Juneau will conduct a forum on bills pertain- ing to the housing shortage at its Priday meeting.

He said the company had spent close to $400,000 already in engineering studies. Major items in the big cost, he said, were developing their own power and water supply of 30,000,0000 filtered gallons daily. He estimated the cost of obtaining power and treating water would be $7,000,000 and said studies still were proceeding on whether the |water would be satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—(®—As- sistant Interior Secretary, William E. Warne, used colored lantern slides yesterday in a several-hours description of the resources of Al- aska for the Senate Interior and In- sular Affairs Committge. Our Experienced Services Warne said a prime need is to attract both industries and popula- tion to the Territory, and that both these moves can be aided through the development of hydroelectric power projects. At.least eight paper pulp mills could be bult in Alaska, he said. Warne was questioned closely | concerning the status of some 150 families of Pribilof Islanders off the western Alaska coast. He expiained tnat the islands are the breeding ground for seal herds. The government furnishes the na- tives food, clothing, houses, ws- pitals and schools, and pays each family several hundred dollars a year for work in the taking of seal furs. | Asked if the Islanders could not be placed entirely upon a “wage basis,” Warne said: “You would be likely to liberate them right out of existence.” ...are yours at “worth your-money” prices.
