carrying an appropriation of
‘$12,000, of which $5,000 was
to be immediately available,
had been altered in the Senate
by eliminating the $5,000 pro
vision and allowing the re
maining $7,000 only in the
event that the permanent flood
control plans of the U. S. En
gineer’s office are authorized
by Congress.
Frustrated by this action.
Rep. Green with much diffi
culty succeeded in securing an
allotment of $4,000 from the
Territorial Road Board, the
apportionment being nearly
one-fourth of the entire road
fund allotment of the First Di
vision. He had been assited
very materially in his efforts
by William A. Hesse, Territor
ial Highway Engineer, whom
he characterized as a real
friend of Hyder, by R. L. Som
mers, Donald E. Martin, Gov
ernor Troy and W. G. Smith,
Territorial Treasurer. Alaska
Delegate to Congress A. J. Di
mond had also been an highly
important aid in getting the ap
propriation through the Legis
lature. He explained further
that he had endeavored to
arrange matters so that in the
event that the federal flood
project was authorized, the
$7,000 legislative appropriat
ion would be spent for mainte
nance, instead of going to pay
the cost of the improvement, as
originally contemplated, and
was hopeful that it would be
done, as it would mean that
much more for the camp.
Rep. Green said the $4,000
now available would be ex
pended as far as possible for
labor and in such manner as to j
provide employment to as ]
many men as possible. Wages ]
would be $5 per day, he said, j
uui owing 10 tne lermoriai
statute forbidding employment
of alien residents on Territorial
and municipal projects in Alas
ka, only full citizens could be ;
given employment. The work j
would be under the direction of!
, Mr. Hesse, who is expected to j
arrive here Monday. Mr. |
Green said he had been asked
i by Mr. Hesse to take charge of
operations and had consented
to do so.
Concluding his informative
discussion, Rep. Green took ad
vantage of the occasion to ex-1
plain his opposition to the
emergency bankiing bill passed
by the Legislature and de-1
! dared his objection was based
on lack of proper limitations
and general looseness of the
i act, which he charged had
been instigated and prepared
by a group of Alaska bankers
in Seattle and by them wired
to Juneau before the Legislat
j ure convened. He pointed out
its obvious limitation defects
and characterized it as “vic
ious legislation.”
