OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKI,ES)
August 17, 1 935
Recognizing the fact that
communication goes hand in
hand with progress and that
in many instances progress
often depends on communica
tion to precede it, Delegate
Dimond has constantly taken
advantage of every opportun
ity to improve the different
methods of communication in
Alaska.
It is obvious that in a coun
try having the extreme var
iations in climate that occur
in Alaska, the ordinary mail
service will often be unex
pectedly suspended through
unforeseen conditions that ar
ise. And it was to expedite
delivery of mail in such in
stances that the Delegate in
troduced H R 5159, a bill auth
o .izing the Postmaster Gener
al to provide difficult or em
ergency mail service in Alas
ka for all classes of mail by
airplane. After extended hear
ings were had on the bill by
the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, it was
reported out to the House
and was passed by that body
May 14th. However, when
the bill passed the senate,
July 29th. it was amended in
a manner to prevent emer
gncy airmail service being con
tracted for without the custo
mary advertising required for
star-route service. This am
ndment was undoubtedly
made in good faith to prevent
any possibility of graft in the
award of emergency airmail
contracts, but it obviously do
feated the very purpose of the
bill because if the customary
thirty days advertising should
be required, the emergency
would generally have passed
and the regular mail service
again would be in operation.
The difficulties occasioned by
this amendment were remov
ed when the bill was sent to
conference and the conferees
receded from their stand on
the Senate amendment, al
though they did add another
amendment stipulating that
not more than $25,000 should
be used for such emergency
service. The Senate voted to
accept the conference report
and August 14th the House
did the same. The bill now
awaits only the approval of
the President before becom
ing a law. The amendment
limiting the expenditures to
$25,000 is not objectionable
because contracts totaling
