tension of roads and construction

the number of visitors to several

It appears from a report of the
Superintendent of Saint, Eliza
beth's Hospital, located at Wash
ington, D. C.. that, there are . two
patents from Alaska in that in
stitution. One is Peter Austin, a
retired water tender, U. S. Navy,
who was raised in the north and
formerly had an uncle at St. Mi
chael: The other is George C.
Nelson, who was convicted of a
murder in Petersburg in Novem
ber, 1921. He was sentenced to
imprisonment for life at McNeil’s
Island, where mental weakness
soon developed and he was trans
ferred to Saint Elizabeth’s.

written the Delegate asking him.
to aid them in securing employ
tauint at Hoover Dam, near* Las
Vegas, where work is now pro
gressing on a railroad for con-;
slructipn purposes, highway, power
plant, tunnels, buildings, etc. On
July 3, 1930, an appropriation of
$10,660,000 was made available, and
for the fiscal year 1932 a fur
ther appropriation of $15,000,000
has been made. But the work is
being done by contract, instead of
by the government direct. In
connectiQiy there are a number of
government employees, above the
grade of unskilled workmen, but
they must possess a civil service
status and place themselves at a
point of duty station at their own
expense. Thus it may be realized
the impossibility of a Congress
man being able to aid ai^ appli
cant to secure work on the Botil
der-Ganyon project.
