Rsorganizalion Plan
For Territory “Good”
Gays Sen. Huntley
Very little good legislation was
passed at the last Territorial ses
sion, Sen. Walter E. Huntley told
the MatanuSka Valley Chamber
of Commerce at the noon meeting
Wednesday.
He declared he thought the
reorganization bill “a good thing,"
and commented:
“The Territory has been run
since. 1913 mostly hit or miss.
Most people don’t know what the
different officers and bureaus are
doing. If the reorganization takes
place as hoped, the Territory
should know whether it’s coming
or going and where the dollars
are spent.
“The new board of administra
tion is composed of the governor,
attorney general, tax commission
er and four members of the legis
lature. The 3rd division got three
of the four members—not bad.
I think they all are good men.
This should make a decided
change in the administration of
the Territory . . .
“The office of the auditor as
we have known it has been in
name only. Actually, the title
should have been comptroller.
Now we will have a qualified
fulltime auditor, actually audit
ing the books, checking all dis
bursements, checking to see if
there are enough funds before
checks are made out.
“The fact that this was not a
very constructive session is not
the fault of either Democrats or
Republicans. There was a pecu
liar split, two Democrats voting
consistently Republican, and two
Republicans voting consistently
Democrat.”
Asked about Civilian Defense
appropriations and how Palmer
could share, Huntley replied that
all communities would be seeking
help but that probably the Arctic
coast needed it the most. Appli
cation should be made to the dir
ector of Civilian Defense for cer
tain aid such as medical supplies
and fire fighting equipment in-,
eluding jeep mobile units.
Jack Maze, presiding in the ab
sence of president James Hurley
due to illness, referred a report
on the Alaska Visitor’s Assn.,
membership drive to the local
branch for consideration.
Clair Stock reported a commit
tee is at work on visitors ribbons
to identify tourists and conven
tioners as Palmer’s-guests so hos
pitality and information may be
extended to them.
Carl R. Rasmussen said com
mittees are being formed for the
Colony Days celebration at the
end of May, but no chairman has
yet been named.

that makes them dissatisfied.
