IT LEGISLATURE
MEMORIAL PASSED URGING RE
MOVAL RESTRICTIONS ON
KODIAK BEAR
JUNEAU, April 6, (Special to the
Gateway)—By a vote of 11 to
five yesterday, hte house reversed
the stand on the rotative ballot
ff amendment to the measure codi
fying the Alaska election laws, and
passed that amendment.
Another amendment was adopt
ed which provides that a canvass
ing board must conclude the offi
cial count by February 1 and any
returns received after that date
will not be counted even though
they might change the results of
the election.
The measure was continued but
will probably pass about as it is
now amended.
The enactment of the Alaska Col
lege appropriation was halted in
the house when McCain requested
it go over untli next Wednesday.
The house killed the senate
measure imposing penalties for
alterations or errors in the records
and enactments of legislature by
a vote of two for and 14 against.
Tha senate passed five meas
ures, all minor ones, and two
> memorials, one urging the re
| moval of restrictions against kill
i in of brown bear on Kodiak Is
land, and another asking for a
fisheries survey in the Bering Sea.
The senate today is considering
the house reenactment of 1927,
the workmen’s compensation act,
with the evident intention of
some of the members to bring in
material amendments. If this is
done it is predicted the measure
will fail of enactment and will
leave the Territory to depend on
the act of 1923 which carries a
lower rate of compensation.
