The Washington
News-Letter
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Washington, D. C., March 16
A Rivers and Harbors Bill was in
troduced in the House by Mr. Mans
field, Chairman of the Committee,
yesterday The bill embraces all of
the Alaska items which have been
approvevd by the Board of Engin
eers of Rivers and Harbors, a list
of which was set out in a recent
news-letter, and also authorized sur
vey of a number of other projects.
It is now expected that the bill will
pass and become a law but that the
funds for the projects will be taken
care of, so far as possible, out of
the Emergency Relief Appropria
tion.
Some progress was made in Alas
ka legislation during the past week.
The Secretary of the Interior made
a favorable report on the bill to au
thorize the Tlingit and Haida Indi
ans to bring suit in the Court of
Claims, recommending some amend
ments. The report was accompanied
by a very extensive memorandum
prepared by Paul M. Gordon, Direc
tor of the Office of Education for the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in Alaska,
setting out the rights of the Indians
and recommending that the bill be
passed. However, the Secretary re
commnded two amendments which
were unacceptable to the Delegate
or to the Alaska Native Brother
hood. One amendment would limit
the claims to those which might be
brought “under the Russian treaty
of cession on March 30, 1867, (15
Stat. 539) or any subsequent act of
Congress or Executive Order.” This
might prevent recovery if the rights
of the natives where not expressly
recognized in the treaty and they
had no part in the making of the
treaty. The bill was brought up
for hearing before the House Com
mittee on Indian Affairs and the
Delegate made a statement in sup
port of the bill but objected to the
amendment above referred to. After
some discussion, since many other
bill were before the Committee for
hearing on that day, the Tlingit and
Haida bill was referred to a sub
committee. The Chairman of the
sub-committee. Representative Ay
ers, assured the Delegate that the
bill will be considered and acted up
on by the sub-committee promptly.
Senate during the past week con
sidered the Emergency Relief Act of
1935, carrying an appropriation of
$4,880,000,000 for relief and work
relief. As the bill passed the House
entire discretion was given to the
President in the expenditure of the
funds appropriated for public works
but in the Senate, after the McCar
ren amendment was adopted by a
vote of 44 to 43, tlie bill was again
referred to Committee and then it
was sought t) “break down" the
four billion dollars appropriation in
to var'ous classes of public wo-kr
projects, and ore of the classes war
reported in an am ndment submit
ted by the Committee as follows:
“For projects of states or political
subdivisions thereof $900,000,000."
Since the word "states" has gener
ally been construed to exclude the
territories, the Delegate immediate
ly got in touch with a number of
members of the Appropriation Com
mittee and other members of the
Senate and asked that the territor
ies and possessions be included in
this item as well as the remaining
items of the bill. The territories
and possessions arc covered general
ly by the bill in a separate para
graph but the use of the word “sta
tes" in the item above quoted prob
ably exclude the territories. Every
effort has been made to have tins
amendmnt inserted but up todate it
has not been taken care of. Sena
tor Byrnes, who is assisting in the
management of the bill in the Sen
ate, is of the opinion that no such
amendment is necessary. If the n
mendment is not adopted in the
Senate, appeal will be made to the
Committee on Conference and try
to have it inserted there. This item
is particularly important with re
spect to public works projects in the
cities of Alaska, which might be left
out entirely if the amendment re
mains in its present form and is not
further amended to include the ter
ritories. Other work projects in
Alaska such as roads and public
buildings are not dependent upon
this item.
The Secretary of the Interior also
gave a favorable report to the house
committee on Territories on the
Nome bill to authorize the city of
Nome to issue bonds for not to ex
ceed $100,000 for public improve
ments.
Valdez, having voted in favor of
the issuance of bonds for the con
struction of a new school house, the
Delegate introduced a bill therefor,
the same having been approved as
to form, by the legal counsel for the
Public Works Administration.
Yesterday the Department of Ag
riculture Appropriation Bill was
passed by the House. The bill was
made up in Committee, introduced
on Thursday and immediately taken
up for consideration. The bill, as
have similar bills for some years
past since the former Representa
tive Simons visited Alaska, contain
ed a provision that the amount ap
propriated for forest roads and trails
in Alaska should be limited to $1150.

Public Roads. Mr. Brownell, mayor
of Seward, who is in Washington,
also gave valuable assistance, and
finally the Committee accepted an
amendment offered by the Delegate
making available the balance of
appropriations heretofore made in
the sum of more than $500,000 and
an additional $250,000 of the appro
priation carried by the bill for for
est roads. So if the bill is not
changed in the Senate in this re
spect the Bureau of Public Roads
will have available for expenditure
in Alaska during the fiscal year end
ing July 1, 1930, the sum of approx
imately $761,000.
The plans for the Matanuska set
tlement are going forward as rapid
ly as could be expected. It is
thought the settlers will reach Mat
anuska about May 1st. Plans con
template the construction of a good
school building for the children of
the settlers as well as for any others
in the neighborhood, a community
hall, as well as the completion of
the Anchorage-Matanuska road.
