»PROTESTS
MSI LOSS or
POST M JUNEAU
According: to information received
n Fairbanks yesterday afternoon
from Ketchikan, the civic organiza
tions of that and other coast towns
are making vigorous protest against
the threatened abolition of the office
of surveyor-general of Alaska, as
proposed by the house appropria
tions committee, in a report sub
mitted this week.
Those responsible for the agita
tion started on the coast are so
liciting the co-operation of civic
bodies- in all sections of the Terri
tory, and the information received
at Farbanks urges that steps be
taken immediately by the Commer
cial club to help retain for Alaska
the office now held by Robert J
Sommers.
The opinion has been expressed
in Fairbanks and elsewhere that no
help can be expected from Gov
ernor Riggs. The argument of
those who express this belief is that
the real work of administering the
affairs of the territory devolves
upon the surveyor-general, who is,
in fact, chief executive of the ter
ritory in many respects, thereby
lessening, to that extent at least,
the importance of the governor. The
surveyor-general is acting as gover
nor now, in the absence of Gov
ernor Riggs, who is seeking terri
torial reforms at Washington.

itransformed into an up-to-date men's
j wearables establishment, with at
tractively arranged show windows
