Recent Alaskan
Legislation
n
(By Mary Lee Council)
WASHINGTON — Two bills
affecting Alaska were reported
favorably to the Senate last week
by the Committee on Interior and
Insular Affairs.
Judges and clerk of general
elections in Alaska would be com
pensated for their services at a
rate to be fixed by the Territorial
legislature under the terms of the
first bill sponsored by Delegate
Bartlett. Since 1906, these officials
have been paid $5,000 for all serv
ices as compared with a compen
sation of $15.00 a day paid judges
and clerks in primary elections
through Territorial law and ap
propriation. Fees to newspapers
for publishing notices of elections
fees for posting election notices
and charges for rental of proper
polling places would also be fixed
by the legislature in accordance
with present-day conditions.
The second House-approved
Alaska measure, introduced by
Congressman Lemke of North Da
kota, receiving Senate committee
approval this week would require
settlers on public land in Alaska
to record notices of their settle
ment within 90 days in the respec
tive district land offices rather
than with the proper United
State's Commissioner as at present.
This legislation is desired by the
Bureau of Land Management so
that the district land offices may
tell prospective settlers whether
or not land which interests them
is already claimed by prior settle
ment.
The bill provides that a person
maintaining a settlement on the
effective date of the bill would
have 90 days within which to file
notice of location with the dis
trnct land office if he has not
already filed such a notice with
the commissioner and two years if
notice of the location has been
filed in the respective recording
district.
The universe in which the sun
exists contains about 100 billion
\
stars.
