(By Bob Bartlett)
The Federal Radio Commission
has received from the Hyder Radio
and Telephone Company an appli
I cation for modification of license
! to communicate with Digby Island,
I B. C.
Joseph T. Bauer has been grant
I ed renewal of a point-to-point tele
I graph license. His station is on an
| island six miles from Chichagof,
j Adam W. Lipke, of Seldovia, has
| been granted modification of li-1
I cense to change frequency from 178 j
! to 246 kilocycles.

Another ruling has been made by j.
j the Treasury Department with re-1
spect to the exportation of gold. ,
The ruling is that ores, concen- 1 (
trates. precipitates, and unretorted
amalgams may be exported, thus i •
'allowing the exporters to com- j
mand the prevailing world price
for the precious metal. That price
in the London market is approx
imately $30 an ounce as against
$20.67 for an ounce of pure gold
in the United States. ;
The ruling is not now in written
form and it is exceedingly difficult
to tell just how far it goes. If de
finitions of ores, concentrates, etc.,
are those usually employed in min
ing terminology a free gold market
in effect has been declared, but in
conversations with Treasury offi
cials the impression was gained
that restricted definition of terms
would be applied. This impression j
was heightened by reiteration of
| the statement that gold recovered
from smelting processes would not
be eligible for export.
Delegate Dimond is endeavoring
to secure a written opinion rela
tive to the ruling and if it becomes
apparent that the bars now raised
against shipment of gold to for
eign countries have been lowered
the news will be wired to Alaska.
In this connection it may be said
that the Delegate has submitted a
brief to the Secretary of the Trea
sury urging creation of a free mar
ket for gold.
Reports from an unofficial source
: are said to have been circulated in !
J Alaska to the effect that Secre- '
I tary Ickes has given approval for ;
: early start of construction of the j (
American section cf the Pacific-!,1
Yukon Highway. Unfortunately this j *
is not so. The Secretary himself ■ *■
[ states he has not given such ap- i£
proval. Distribution of the reports [1
of the American section of the i
Highway Commission is continuing i
i in order to obtain the widest pos
; siblc publicity. C

The Public Works Administra
; tion has published two circulars,
j one of which deals with “The Pur
j poses. Policies, Functioning and Or
[ ganization of the Emergency Ad
, ministration” and the other with
| “Information Required for applica
tion for Loans to States, Counties,
Municipalities, and other Public
Bodies.”
Copies of the circulars may be
obtained either from the Public
Works Administration or from the
office of Delegate Dimond.
The Alaska branch of the Geo
logical Survey has filed an appli
cation with the Public Works Ad
ministration for $150,000 to be used
in Alaska activities. Because of the
lateness of the season only a com
paratively small amount of the i
money can be used this year pro
viding the request is granted.

TAXES INCREASE

tax on real estate in Los Angeles j
in now $1.74 per $100 assessment,;
This is a 21 cent increase over last *
year’s rate. Officials state, however,
that the tax increase was necessary j
because of a much lower property
valuation this year.
