ALASKA INTERESTS
IT TIE NATIONAL
CAPITAL, WASH.
Under the Emergency Relief and
Construction Act of 1932, which
provides an appropriation of $100,
000,000 for public buildings to aid
employment thruout the nation,
announcements have been made
for construction of buildings
amounting to $74,508,000. The first
selection by the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Postmaster Gen
eral listed 41 cities of public build
ings at'a cost of $53,690,000, each
structure to cost more than $300,
000. The second selection, announc
ed last Wednesday, totals $20,810,
000, and Is for buildings to cost be
tween $100,000 and $300,000. Those
to cost less than $100,000 will be
announced in a day or two and will
run the total cost up to nearly $90,
000,000. Whether the Treasury will
be permitted to spend the entire
$ 100,000.000 is a question that has
not been decided. Controller Gen
eral McCarl ruled that Congress in
ordering a 10 percent cut in the
Irnit of cost of all public buildings
not already under contract, includ
ed the relief program, but the
Treasury contended that the relief
appropriation did not come under
the 10 percent cut and asked Mc
Carl to revise his decision. If he
refuses only $90,000,000 will be
spent, but if the full appropriation
is made available, there is a chance

that the Anchorage and Ketchikan
buildings may be included in the
now silent $10,000,000. Strong ef
forts are being made to this end.
Delegate Wickersham’s office has
enlisted the favor and efforts of
several prominent officials who are
seeking to convince the Secretary
of the Treasury and Postmaster
General of the urgent need for
these Alaska buildings. A strong
argument is the necessity to give
employment to the many idle men
who have gone from the States to
Alaska seeking work.

several years. This production is j
greater than Canada’s annual $18,- i
000,000 catch and Soviet Russia’s)
$35,000,000 catch combined. In ad-;
dition to its great production of j
native raw furs, the United States
imports furs and skins from most
of the other fur-producing coun
tries. Furthermore, this country
consumes more fur than any other
country in the world. Fur is thus
seen to be an important commer
cial commodity.
The increasing demand for de- j
sirable pelts and their ever- de-1
creasing wild supply, are producing
a condition that would be even
more alarming were it not for the
demonstrated possibilities of pro
pagating fur animals in captivity.
Fur farming is now on a substan
tial basis, and because of rapidly
changing conditions it is destined
to have an even wider scope and to
attract increased interest. Afford
ing the surest means of supple
menting the diminishing produc
tion of furs in the wild, it is cer
tain to be successful.”
