OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Secretary to the Delegate
Washington, D. C. Jan. 9, 1936
Forty six bills relating to Alas
ka, or for the benefit of Alaska
residents, were introduced in the
House by Delegate Dimond on
January 5, the opening day of the
first session, 75th Congress.
Some of these bills were simi
lar to, or even identical with,
measures he sponsored in the 74
Congress, but which failed of
enactment then. In some of these
the wording has been changed
sufficiently to place them outside
of the objections made against
them in former department re
ports, where this could be done
without changing the purpose of
the bills in their original intent. \
A number of the bills which have !
been introduced without any cha
nge in their text from that in
the last congress will probably be
better received now too, because
of the foundation built for them
last year.
Proposals for bids were issued
for construction of the proposed
Federal building at Nome on De
cember 30th by the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Depart
ment. The bids are called to be
opened on April 6, 1937. Alaska ,
contractors who wish to bid on
the construction of the building
should address requests for the
plans and specifications to Admi
ral C. J. Peoples, Director of Pro
curement Division, at Washing
ton, D. C.
Joint resolutions were intro
duced in the House to authorize
a preliminary examination or sur
vey with a view to harbor im
provement or aid to navigation at
each of the following locations:
Myers Chuck Harbor,
Unga Harbor.
Elfin Cove.
Seldovia Harbor.
Sinuk River Breakwater.
Ship or small boat canal to con
nect Tenakee Inlet and Port Fre
derick, on Chichagof Island.
Six bilk relating to the fisher
ies of Alaska were among those
introduced in the House by the
Delegate. These were (1) trans
ferring the jurisdiction, supervi
sion, administration and control
of the salmon and other fisheries
of Alaska, except the fur-seal and
sea otter fisheries, from the De
partment of Commerce to the Ter
ritory of Alaska, (2) To prohibit
the use of fish traps, weirs, an^
pound nets for fishing in the wat
ers of the Territory and to limit
certain types of salmon fishing to
residents of Alaska, (3) To pro
vide for the construction and op
eration of a vessel for use in re
search work with respect to fish
eries of the Pacific Ocean, Bering
Sea, and the waters of Alaska &
Hawaii, (4) To provide for the
conservation of herring in the
waters of Alaska, (5) For the
protection of oyster culture in
Alaska, and (6) To prohibit the
seizure of the boat and gear for
alleged illegal fishing of a fisher
man prior to conviction.
Another bill introduced, which
if enacted, will be of great value
to the fishermen of Alaska as
well as in the States by extend
ing to fishermen the benefits of
the United States Public Health
Service.
The bill extending the legisla
tive power of the Territorial Leg
islation to include the game laws
and laws relating to fursbearing
animals in Alaska, and transfer
ring control of the game and fur
bearing animals of the Territory
from the Department of Agricul
ture to the Territory wias also in
troduced.
Proposed legislation to author
ize fur farmers holding leases
from the Government on the land
they are using for fur farming to
secure patent therefor, which
would apply to island locations
as well as those on the mainland,
was introduced.
Delegate Dimond reintroduced
the bill to grant 160 acres of land
or one placer mining claim or
lode mining claim in Alaska to
the surviving residents, or the
widow and minor children of de
ceased residents, of Alaska who
served in the World War.
Authority for the preliminary
examination of the Skagway
River with a view to the control
of floods in the vicinity of Skag
way was introduced in the House.
The Delegate has reintroduced
the bill extending the 40 hour
week to employees of the Alaska
Railroad to whom it has not here
