A ii .! was introduced :r. the
il u : rin June 8 by Delegate
DiHm -/I to extend the provisions
of the law which now makes
"all .and and shoal water be
tween low and mean high tide
on the shores, bays, and inlets of
Bering Sea, within the jurisdic
tion of the United States, subject
to exploration and mining for
gold and other precious metals,!
al Alaska instead of merely to
the Bering Sea area of the Ter
ritory. :
_
The bill introduced in the
House by the Delegate to author
ize payment to Sam Romack for
•he :o.ss of his gas boat which
was sunk during a storm at Sew
ard by the Coast Guard Patrol
boat Morris passed the House
June 6 and is now pending be-1
fore tne senate committee on
i claims.
Although the work relief ap
propriation bill carrying funds
j not only for work relief but also,
j for tne Public Works Administ
ration projects was passed and
J approved some days ago, up to the j
end of the week no allotments!
had actually been made for any
j Alaska public works projects.
| A considerable number of such
• projects, including Skagjway mun
icipal improvements, Juneau lib
rary, Anchorage paving, Seward
gymnasium, Douglas school bldg.
Skagway school building, Fair
banks municipal improvements
Territorial school buildings .Sit
ka sewer system, University of A1
aska dormitory, and possibly one
other have been heretofore approv
ed by the examining divisions of
the PWA and most if not all of
them are eligible for allotments
under the appropriation bill re
cently enacted.
Nor have allotments been made
for other projects in the United
| States, for it is understood that
j all such projects are being held
'up awaiting the formulation of
[some plan which will work fair
■ ]y and equitably for all parts of
|*he country.
! The appropriation made will
'not take care of all approved pro
jects and therefore a large num
ber of them must be omitted. It
js exected that within the next
Itwo weeks the plan will be ag
reed upon and allotments made.
In view of the language of the
bill it seems almost certain that
a grant will be made to a.d in
^the construction of a public
school building for the town of
Douglas since the former school
building at Douglas was destroy
ed by fire last winter.
