| rr A w ire from the Fairbanks
j Cl y Council requested Delegate
j Dimond to appeal to the Recon

i the hope that the corporation
i would purchase $50,000 worth of
| the $98,000 bond issue which
j Fairbanks proposes to use to
! ibuild a school to replace the one
| des royed by fire early in the
| morning of December 4. The
! matter was immediately taken up
j with R. F. C. officials, but is was
i learned that the terms of the R.
j F. C. act prohibit projects where
j the money to pay for them comes
i from taxation.
However, Senator Wagner of
New York has introduced a neyi
bill, which is now in committee,
providing that municipal projects
shall not have to be self-liquid
ating in order to obtain R. F. C.

were of the opinion that if this
legislation passes the Fairbanks
Alaska in 1887 as a member of
:n its scope. This will probably
not be of much assistance where
the need is for early start of con
struction.
Employees of the Alaska Road
Commission who were improper
ly placed on the civil service reg
ister and who have encountered
delays in securing funds of the
amounts ihey had paid in toward
pensions, are now receiving their
checks. Several letters were writ
ten to the Delegate urging him to
expedite the matter. The facts
were placed 'before the Civil Ser
vice Commission and the In'erior
Department, with the result that
it was promised the checks would
be sent out in time to connect
with the April 29 steamship.
A caller at the Delegate’s of
fice during the paslt week was
Colonel W.L. Stevenson, who is
thoroughly inti'tled to call him
self a sourdough. Col. Stevenson,
now managing director of the
Canadian Exploration Syndicate, a
big mining concern, was first in
bill, exempting certain specific in
the Hydrographic and Geodetic
Survey on the old survey ship.
McArthur. Later, in the days of
the gold rush, he returned north
and was in the Porcupine River
country, tne luitaroa, Portage
Bay and many other sections. He
resided tor some time at Skagway.
Col Stevenson left Alaska in
1916. He and his wife were in
Washington briefly en route to
England, to which country he
makes several trips a year.

Commission for permisaon td

Public hearings on the five-day
six-hour day bill were scheduled
to open this week and it is the
intenton of Delegate Dimond to
appear before the House Labor
committee to urge that the bill
be amended so as to exclude Ala
ska from its terms. If that is
not possible he will endeavor to
obtain an amendment similar to
the one contained in the Senate

numbers. He Is keenly alive to
:Ye emergency and is doing every
hing possible to save Alaska’s In
dustrie from the crushing blow
which this legislation would deal
:hem. His efforts have been handi
capped, however, since the adminls
;ra’ion approved in principle this
move to spread employment. The
.Delegate too is firmly of the opin
ion that it is not properly applic
able to a new country such as
,
Alaska.

A bill has been introduced in
:he House by Representative Mc
Cormaok which would authorize
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor
