to put particular stress on speeding
the preparatory work of the Nome
building so that the contracts will
be on the market in time to permit
the necessary building materials to
b shipped on the first boats leaving
for Nome in 1936.
The contracts connected with the
construction of the Ketchikan fed
oral building are expected to be on
the market within a week, accord
ing to information furnished by the
Treasury Department August 23rd.
Plans and specifications for this
building had been developed to the
point where the bids were to be
called for just at the time when the
Supreme Court rendered its decision
on the validity of the NRA Codes
In view of the uncertain legality of
the contracts stipulating complian
ce with the Codes all proposals for
bids were called in. The new speci
fications avoid any reference to the
Codes.

Tlie appointment of George A.
Lingo of Fairbanks, for the position
of Register of the General Land Of
fice at Anchorage was confirmed by
the Senate August 20th.
When the Senate agreed to the
House amendments to the Pacific
Yukon Highway Bill August 21st it
w as generally conceded that the bill
was as good as approved, for in his
letter of June 20 1935 to Delegate
Dimond, the President expressed his
entire approval of the bill as it now
stands and hoped that it would be
enacted by Congress.
While the appropriation authoriz
ed by the bill to start construction
on that part of the road that will
be in Alaska was stricken out in
the House, the bill unquestionably
lays the foundation for the actual
: construction of the highway by auth
orizing the President to enter into
agreements between the Govern
ments of the United States and of
Canada for the survey, location, and
construction of the road. In view of
the President’s favorable attitude
towards the project it is believed
that the initial steps in the negotia
tions will soon be started.
Delegate Dimond has devoted a
great deal of time and effort to
wards securing the passage of this
legislation and is highly gratified at
the success that has rewarded his
efforts. His feeling with respect to
the value of the project was indicat
ed when he said: “The construction
of this highway is really of outstand
ing importance to the full develop
ment of the entire northwest and to
Alaska, as well as to the Province
of British Columbia and Yukon
Territory, Canada. Nothing of equal
economic merit has been undertaken
since the construction of the last
great continental roalroad."
i
Tlu> Rivers and Harbors Bill con
taining all Alaska items for which
preliminary examinations are auth
orized as well as projects that have
been approved by the Chief of En
'gineers was reported out of confer
once August 1!). The senate agreed
to the conference report August 20
and the bill is now awaiting only the
approval of the President before be
coming law.
The bill introduced by the Dele
gate to authorize the town of Cor
dova to undertake certain munici
pal public works was approved by
the President August 21st. This leg
islation permits the town to issue
bonds up to $50,000 for he improve
men of the school building, wharf,
etity hall and other projects which
may be approved by the common
council.

Census Bureau; Dr. Ernest Gruening
Director of the Division of Territor
ies and Island Possessions; Paul W.
Gordon, Alaska Representative of
the Department of the Interior; De
legate King of Hawaii, and Dele
gate Dimond; the question of includ
ing Alaska and Hawaii in the pro
posed census of vocations and busi
nesses was taken up. It was decid
ed that the census in the territories
would be as beneficial and necessary
as it would be in the several states,
and application would be made to
the Works Progress Administration
for approval of the projected plan
and for the necessary funds to carry
it out.
