to the Senate today by Del
egate Dimond. Mr. Grant’s
appointment as postmaster
expired February 19. 1936.
so this appointment, which
the senate is expected to

be a reappointment to his
office under the present ad
ministration.
Hon. Robert Ramspeck,
chairman of the house com
mittee on the civil service,
has advised Delegate Dim
nnd that-he will arrange for
a hearing on the bill the

held before the committee
on March 10 or 11.
John J C Moore, repre

ly cooperating with Dele
gate Dimond in arranging
for the representation to be
made at the hearing.
March 4. The P. O. Dept,
informed Del. Dimond of
the appointment of Carl I.
Carlsen as postmaster at
Akiak today. Mr. Carlsen

at that office since the
death of his wife, Mrs. Wen
eke Carlsen, who was the
postmaster.
Immediately after word of the
fire that destroyed the Federal
building at Sitka on February 23
was received in Washington. Del
egate Dimond commenced to
press for action in the several de
partments that had offices in the
building and with the Treasury
Department, which is in charge of
theconstruction of Federal build
ings, for the replacement of the
Sitka loss with a modern build
ing. The matter is now before
the Inter-dapartmental committ
ee on Public Buildings of the P
O. and Treasury departments,
the Delegate already having pre
sented it individually to officials
of the Signal Corps, Dept, of
Commerce, Dept, of Agri. Dept,

On Feb. 28, the Acting Secre
tary of the Treasury informed
Delegate Dimond that an engin
eer is now enroute to Sitka for
collection of the necessary data
required for the construction of
a new building; that preliminary
plans for the design of the build
ing are already underway and
arrangements are being made to
secure funds for the construction
from the Emergency Appropria
tion Act of 1935; and that every
effort is being made to start the
construction of a new building
at the opening of the spring sea
son.
The bill introduced by Delegate
Dimond to authorize a prelim
inary examination of the Mata
nuska River with a view to the
control of its floods has been fav
orably reported by the Acting Se
cretary of War and by the House
Committee on Flood Control.
When the Interior Department
Appropriation Bill for the fiscal
year 1937 was in the senate last
week, the Delegate appeared be
fore the subcommittee of the
senate committee on appropria
tions in charge of the bill and
talked for an increase in several
of the appropriations affecting the
Territory.
That considerable good was ac
complished is evidenced by the
fact that when the bill passed
the senate on March 2, it carried
an additional item of $25,000 for
u I
relief of destitution among the
natives of Alaska, and an in
crease of $10,000 in the amount
passed by the House for miner
al investigations in Alaska by the
Geological Survey, which brings
this item now to $70,000. There is
some possibility that these in
creases will be reduced while
certain differences are being ir
oned out of the bill in Conference,
and to forestall such action Del
egate Dimond has talked with as
many members of the conferen
ce committee as has been possi
ble and explained the necessity
for the items in their present
amounts.
March 2. The bill introduced
in the House by Delegate Dim
ond to authorize the city of Skag
way to issue bonds up to $12,000
for improvements to the city hall
and streets and crossings was ap
proved by the President today.
March 7. Final approval of the
application of the city of Peters
burg for an increase of $13,000:
in its loan from the PWA was
announced today. This increase
brings the total of the approved i
loan to $35,000 to be used in the
repair and construction of streets
sidewalks, sewers and other pub
lic works.
