Final Action
In Financing
Bill. Juneau
—
JUNEAU, March —•Legislators
and territorial officials were un
animous in their approval of the
important Alaska appropriation
bill totaling $4,300,000, the gen
eral opinion being that the mon
ey was well spent and well with
in the estimated revenues for the
biennium.
The bill was passed originally
by the House and by the Senate.
It went back to the House, af
ter being mimeographed, and the
House agreed to all Senate a
mendments except 12, disagree
ments over which were thrashed
out by a free conference commit
tee of each house in the early
morning hours.
\Vhile legislators took catnaps
in their chairs or walked the cor
ridors of the second floor of the
Federal Building, the commit
tees, consisting of Senators Vic
tor C. Rivers, Leroy Sullivan and
Joe Hofman, and Representatives
Ed. Coffey, Wallace Porter and
Leo Rogge, straightened out all
difficulties.
Finial major operations per
formed by the committees were
strikng of the $10,000 for carry
ing the criminal identification bill
into effect; striking of $30,000 for
vocational education, and $8,000 j
for correspondence courses; rais
iing \he appropriation for the em
ployment service from the $10,-1
000 to which it had been cut by I
the Senate to $20,000; bobbing of j
$11,800 for the Department of
Public Welfare appropriation,
and striking of the $4,000 item
which the Senate had tacked on
to the measure for the Territorial
Chamber of Commerce.
An item for salaries of assoc
iate mining engineers under the
commissioner of Mines was re
stored to $21,6(k) from the $12,000
to which the Senate had slashed
it.
I
Reinserted at insistence of the
House conference committee was
an appropriation of $8,000 for in
dust,rial and agricultural fairs,
which had been stricken by the
Senate.

TRAPPERS MAY RETAIN
PELTS AND BOUNTIES
JUNEAU Mar. 15—The bounty,
on wolves and coyotes for the]
next two years will be $25 and
the trapper may keep the pelt
and dispose of it as he sees fit.
The bounty bill was much bat
tied over in the lower house
early in the session.
As it stands now, the trapper
catches a wdlf or coyote, pre-!
sents the pelt, together with the]
ulna and radius bone of the left ]
front foreleg to a Wildlife Agent,
of the Alaska game Commission1
or any agent designated by the
commission, for identification.
An affidavit must also be;
sworn to before a notary public,
commissioner or other author
ized person, as to conditions un
der which the pelt was taken.
The Wildlife Agent will re
move the bones of the left leg,
destroy them, and will punch a
hole in the left ear of the pelts,
whereupon the hide will be re
turned to the trapper and his
claim of bounty forwarded to
the territorial treasurer.
