NEWS LETTER
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. Bartlett,
Delegate to Congress from Alaska
ROADS
Delegate Bartlett appeared be
fore the House Public Works Com
mittee last week and urged that
if no special provision is made for
road allotments to Alaska in the
pending road bill that any taxes
provided to raise the money to
cover the multi-billion-dollar pro
gram not be applied to the terri
tory.
The committee is considering a
measure introduced by Congress
man Fallon of Maryland which
would expand the Federal Aid
Highway Acts from which Alaska
is excluded. The proposed federal
tax increases include one cent on
gasoline, four cents on diesel fuel,
10 cents a pound on heavy truck
tires, a new tax of IVz cents a
pound on large retreaded tires,
and a two percent increase on the
truck excise tax.
“I am gravely concerned,” said
Bartlett, “over the possibility that
Alaska may be bracketed in con
nection with any tax program
that might be incorporated in a
road bill. The bill which was in
troduced putting taxes on gaso
line, fuel oil and tires failed to
recognize the fact that Alaskans
would be required to psfy these
taxes without receiving any ben
efits. Alaska is the only political
subdivision not participating in
the Federal Highway Aid Acts. It
would be discriminatory indeed to
levy additional taxes on the con
sumers in Alaska with not one
penny of that tax money being
returned to the territory for road
use. Previously I had urged that
a special section be added to the
bill to permit an expansion of
road building in Alaska, but this
was not included in the road bill
as introduced.”
Delegate Bartlett has urged that
any road expansion program for
the country enacted by Congress
include authorization for an an
nual $5 million appropriation for
through highways in addition to
any funds made available to the
Alaska Road Commission for pub
lic roads and the Bureau of Public
Roads for forest highways.
Fisheries Dept. To Get
$25,000 for Research
A $25,000 contract with the Al
aska Department of Fisheries has
been signed by the Department of
the Interior as a part of $705,000
worth of contracts for fishery re
search under the new Saltonstall
Kennedy Act.
The contract is to study the ef
fect of predation on the mortality
of Alaska salmon in their stream
and ocean environments. Vora
cious fishes, birds, and marine
mammals are known to destroy
large quantities of salmon.
The study will aid in the reduc
tion of certain predator popula
tions for the sake of improving
the abundance of salmon.
Other contracts are being is
sued in all parts of the United
States to complete the commit
ment of the $3 million authorized
for 1955 under this act. The $25,
000 contract brings to around
$215,000 the total being spent on
salmon research.

JBUCYRUS-ERIE Drills
Blast Hole—Waterwell—Prospecting
There’s money to be saved by using
» modem Bucyrus-Erie Drills. In fact,
costs are frequently lowered from 30% to
50%. The exclusive Bucyrus-Erie shock
absorber increases speed of penetration even
in difficult formations. More snap in the
drilling action gives more shattering blows.
More blows per minute mean more footage per shift. Faster
and easier moves and set-ups give more drilling time. Larger,
faster drilled holes provide better fragmentation. And longer
rope life plus other operating and maintenance economies
reduce costs. Many sizes and types from which to choose.

LESS MAINTENANCE: Tests prove Tri-Clad '55’ bearings last
longer without regreasing than any other bearing system.
LONGER LIFE: Cast-iron strength . . . more fully enclosed drip
