Friday, March 11, 1949
i The Senate yesterday passed
unanimously a memorial by An
derson asking the establishment
! of an unemployment compensation
office at Nome. Both Senators An
derson and Jones spoke for it re
porting numerous requests for the
office because of the distance to
Anchorage.
j With only one dissenting vote,
i the Territorial House passed a bill
last night appropriating $2,250,000
for school buildings.
A million and a half was mark
ed for rural schools and $750,000
for cities, with cities required to
provide matching funds ranging
from 10 to 50 cents for each Ter
ritorial dollar.
By a vote of 21-3. the House
also adopted a measure to ban
general' outdoor advertising from
Alaska highways. The avowed
purpose is “to keep highways
scenic.”
The Senate defeated, 6-10, a bill
to impose a 10 per cent admissions
tax. It had been estimated the
bill would raise $150,000 a year
for a veterans’ revolving fund.
In other action the House pass
ed the new income tax law again
last night with amendments and
without dissent. The bill now goes
to the Senate.
The principal amendment was
designed to tighten the tax noose
on personnel of American and for
eign ships regularly in the Alaska
trade as a counter-move to sea
mens union suits filed in Seattle.
The House also voted to double
aid to dependent children to $50 a
month for the first child 16 years
or under and to raise from $15 to
$25 the sum for each additional
i child. The vote was 23-1.
The highway sign bill introduc
ed by Rep. Frank Angerman, was
for licensing and regulating the
business, but Rep Stanley McCut
cheon amended it to an outright
ban in order to “keep highways
scenic.” The vote was 21-3.
Opponents of the admissions tax
measure argued it primarily was
a nuisance tax that would not raise
enough to bolster the veterans’
fund adequately. Those voting for
it were Sens. Frank Barr, Walter
Huntley, R. M. MacKenzie, Victor
C Rivers and author Steve McCut
cheon, Democrats, and Republican
William Munz
The House also passed, 14-10, a
bill for licensing childrens’ homes,
but amended it to exempt exist
ing homes unless they desire to
come under the act.
The Senate passed half a dozen
bills during the day.
The vote was 12-4 for the Sen.
Frank Peratrovich bill to legalize
branch banking by Alaska firms.
It was 15-1 for the MacKenzie bill
to create a library board to seek
federal aid for establishing librar
ies.
Also approved was a bill to ex
pand the maximum area for a
school district to 500 square miles,
and Senator Rivers' bill to allow
public utility districts to grant
franchises.
I The only floor comment on the
. income tax measure last night
was by Rep. Clarence Keating,
who expounded the Democratic
majority’s position:
“A vote for this bill is not an
I admission there is any doubt
about the legality of its passage
at the special session. It is for the
purposes of amendment and to
safeguard against possible costly
land time-consuming legislation.”
1 The House also passed a bill to
provide $40,000 for establishing a
| wildlife research unit at the Uni
versity of Alaska, with the expec
tation of getting federal funds in
a grant.
