WASHINGTON. D. C., June 2
(A3)—An effort has been made t
have the Treasury Departmer
purchase the block of ground op
posite the new Federal and Tei
ritorial building in Juneau, froi
which it is separated by a roa
but 30 feet wide. The Territor
owns a lot upon which stands tli
building that was used for offic
purposes, and is willing to tram
fer this to the government. Tl:
balance of the property on tt
block would cost about $85,000, tl:
greatest cost being the Zynda he
tel property, which is valued z
$45,000. . The matter has been cor
sidered several times by a boar
composed of Assistant Secretai
of the Treasury Ferry K. Heat)
Special Assistant Leo C. Marti
and Supervising Architect Jam<

that under existing law they wei

decided that they would not rec

purchase would have to be ob
tained by special act of Congress.
The Department had wired the
Governor to see what the city
would be willing to appropriate
for the widening of the street be
tween the two blocks of land and
council named $4,000 as the sum.
In a recent letter received by
the Delegate from Assistant Sec
retary Heath, the following state
ment is made: “This question has
been thoroughly investigated and
very careful attention given to it
but, in view of the fact that the
building is satisfactorily complet
ed and the present site is ample
therefore the Department does not
believe it could justify a request
for the appropriation of $80,000
additional for the purchase of the
block opposite the Government
j property out of the funds pro
I vided for public buildings. The
| desirability of having the open
| park space in front of the building
| is realized, but in view of all the
| factors the Department is of the
opinion that the authorization for
the purchase of the land should be
obtained by special act of Con
gress.”
Whether an effort shall now be
made to have the Department rec
ommend the purchase of half the
I block or whether the Delegate shall
introduce a bill for the purchase
of the entire block is up to the
people of Juneau and Alaska to
decide.

Tlie postal clerks in one of the
large postoffices of the Territory
maintain that the high cost of
living entitles them to increased
salaries. The matter was taken
up with the Postoffice Department
and it was stated that there was
no fund available to pay higher
salaries. It seems that up to 1926
a bonus of $300 per year was paid
clerks, but after the salaries Were
increased the bonus was abolished.
And the desire is to have the bonus
restored. Mr. Flaherty, Secretary
of the National Federation of
Postal Clerks, had also been com
municated with, but he said that
■ j nothing could be done at present.

Some of the fishermen of Nak
nek have written the Delegate to
see if he could get them permis
sion to operate set nets and sell
the resulting catch to canneries
in that region. The Bureau of
Fisheries states that the existing
regulations prohibit fishing of this
character at Naknek, although
there is nothing to prevent such
operations if the resultant catch
is used for local food purposes,
j either for human beings or for
dogs. The matter has been referr
I ed to Commissioner Henry O’Mal
ley, who is now in the west en
i route to Alaska.

J. A. Talbot, Department Com
mander of the American Legion in
Alaska, wired the Delegate con
cerning a newspaper report that
80 Filipino cable hands were en
route to Anchorage to install the
new radio station at that location.
He suggested that Legion and
other men out of work in the
North could be secured to perform
[this work. Major General George
S. Gibbs, Chief Signal Officer, ex
plains that only the regular crew
of the Dellwood had gone with
that ship to Anchorage, and while
there they would assist to clear
ground, erect aerials, etc., and so
some technical work, for which
no funds are available to employ
local men. The General suggest
ed that to interfere with work now
would jeopardize early completion
of the project.

The Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors have decided
that there will be no survey of
Keyku Straits, Alaska, as the ben
efits would not be commensurate
with the large Federal expenditure
required to make this improve
ment. A preliminary report was
favorable to the extent of recom
mending a survey to determine
the cost and advisability of the
improvement. But the Board has
decided against going further into
the matter.
