and Museum, and may be viewed
not only by the local residents,
bait also by the thousands of Am
erican citizens who visit Alaska
as tourists each year. The trans
fer of the check to the Territory
Will be gratifying to the proper
local sentiment and pride of the
peope of Alaska, and will make
the same readily accessible to
those who may care to see it.
Proposel legislation to author
ize a referendum in the Territory
for the purpose of obtaining the
views of the voters at the next
general election with respect to
the desirability of establishing a
©ne-house legislature for Alaska
in place of the present two-house
type of legislature, was approved
in the House today.
By an Act of Congress approv
ed in 1912. a legislature was creat
ed with a senate of 8 members &
a House of representatives of 16
members to take care of certain
legislative needs of Alaska. How
ever, the Territorial Legislature
is without power to change its
form or the numerical member
ship of either of its houses. The
Delegate has said that he person
ally believes a one-house legisla
ture would operate both more
efficiently and economically in
the Territory than the present 2
house system, and it was to ob
tain the views of the electorate
:in Alaska on the subject that he
, introduced ^tis bill. In this way,
i Mr. Dimond said each of the vot
] ers may express his or her pre
ference concerning a one-house
egisiature.
City Council Is
Meeting Tonite
—
The city council meets this ev
jening in regular session to take
■ up municipal business. Ciyt Clerk
j Walsh, it is understood, expects
■ to present the city’s delinquent
tax roll for consideration of the
council, which will probably or
der immediate advertising of the
delinquent taxes for the year 19
36. This action has been a regular
move by the city ever since the
fire of 1934.
Among other things, it was de
, dared, that some argument con
cerning the authority of the city
' to sell the old school building,
would come up. The special cl
! eetion to ratify the action of the
council in selling it to the Odd
Fellows, for $2,000, is set for this
! Saturday.
