At first, the Bureau of Reclama- tion in the capital suggested a bar association committee be asked to| draw up a law, but this was op- posed by field committee members, because of the association’s lack of experience with water rights, with the exception of mining usages. A sub-committee, composed of. R. C. Johnson, assistant chief of the Alaska Investigation Office, and J. Gerald Williams, Territorial At- torney General, was to obtain| copies of similar laws in the states, ! so that the best possible law could be written. After drafting in Washington, a copy would he circulated among in- terested groups in Alaska for com-| ment, and upon approval, it would be submitted to the next Territorial| Legislature for action. Kenneth J. Kadow pointed out| that Anchorage at' present is in| nothing less than a “mess” over| water rights, simply because no law exists to define rights. The military group there, the railroad, the city, and others all have rights in a creek running through the city, but the question is—who comes first? Existence ot a properly-worded water law would preclude such problems and squak- bles, he pointed out. A suggestion that a copy of Wyoming’s law be obtained for study was made before the commit- tee, as that state is said to have PAN AMTAKES 45 | OUT, BRINGS IN 29 Pan American World Airways yes- terday brought 29 passengers into Juneau and took 45 out.

GIRL SCOUT DRIV T0 START MONDAY A large corps of volunteer work- ers will be on the job Monday to put the Girl Scout Finance drive over the top. While a good share of scouting is carried on by non- paid personnel there are many necessary items of expense which must be met in order to maintain the organization. " The largest single expenditure is the Eagle River camping which cost $2,100 last year, the girls them- selves contrituting $1,250 as their share, A total of $400 was spent for troop supplies, arts and crafts ma- terials, otfice supplies, national field service and the World Conference, In this district there are 14 troops with a total of 250 girls ranging in age from second graders through high school. This program cannot continue without the support of the citizens of Juneau and Douglas, Fred Henning, finance chairman said. He added he was greatly en- .| couraged by the cooperation shown by workers who have cheerfully volunteered to solicit contributions. We feel certain that their enthu- slasm and the cooperation of the citizens of this area will put us over the top. Would you like a steak or chick- ken dinner?
