Judges Say No to
Proposal for New
Appeals Court
SAN FRANCISCO, iff)—Judges
of the Ninth Court of Appeals
splashed cold water Wednesday
on a Senate proposal to create a
separate appellate court to serve
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Sons. Magnuson and Jackson,
Washington Democrats, have in
troduced legislation for an 11th
court of appeals for Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
Alaska, leaving the 9th court, to
serve California, Nevada, Arizo
na, Hawaii and Guam.
Appeals court judges attending
the Ninth Judicial Circuit Con
ference were critical of the plan.
Chief Judge William Denman
termed it “perfectly absurd.”
Judge Richard H. Chambers de- j
nied assertions the present court j
is over-burdened. He said the I
court “is as near caught up as j
you ever get in an appellate |
court.”
Proposed federal legislation
which would consolidate two
district courts at Nome and i
Fairbanks and add another :
court at Anchorage was dis- I
cussed by the conference.
Federal Judge J. L. McCarrey j
Jr. of Anchorage said he had a
backlog of approximately 1,500 ,
civil and criminal cases and about
100 cases a month are being add
ed in his district. Judge McCarrey i
added he has had only 23 days of j
vacation in four years on the I
bench at Anchorage.
New Law on
Motor Vehicles
Now In Effect
JUNEAU—A new Alaska law
dealing with motor vehicles be
came effective Wednesday.
One section of the law provides
for a special temporary registra
tion for any person having an es
tablished resident address in the
territory who wishes to take de
livery of a motor behicle outside
of Alaska.
A $25 fee is charged for such
temporary registration, which is
good for 90 days. At the expira
tion of that period, regular regis
tration and Certificate of Ttile!
must be obtained, and the vehicle j
must be within the territory.
The $25 fee must be obtained
by anyone having an established
resident address in the territory
and wishing to take delivery out
side the territory of a vehicle pur- ,
chased from an Alaska dealer.
Application for the temporary
90-day registration shall be made
on Deptax MV-150 (passenger
cars) or MV-150A (trucks) and j
shall be accompanied by an affi
davit, forms for which may be
obtained from the Department of
Taxation.
The new ruling also changes
the definitions of “dealer” and
“foreign vehicle.”
