Bids will be opened on February
18 next for construction of the
; Federal building at Fairbanks, as
i the specifications are now available
! to bidders in the States and are in
the mails going to the postmaster
at Fairbanks, to be available to
Alaska bidders. It is expected that
it will be the latter part of March
before the contract is awarded,
bond submitted and approved, and
preliminary activities commenced,
from which time the contractor
will have 480 days to complete the
work. Of the available appropria
tion it is expected that the building
i will cost $404,775, and the balance
of the $450,000 wall be used for
lcck boxes, furnishings, etc.

In the budget submitted to Con
| gress by President Hoover there is
! no reference to a building program
for the fiscal year commencing
July 1, 1932. In a statement re
cently made by J. Clawson Roop,
Director of the Budget, it is an
nounced that all projects already
specifically authorized and appro
priated for will be pushed to com
pletion. But on account of the
heavy government deficit which
will amount to $2,000,000,000 at the
end of next June, and the neces
sity of raising new taxes, it has
been determined by the Budget not
to obligate the government further
during the approaching fiscal year
by requesting new authorizations.
If this policy is carried out it will
; apply to the whole country, and
; would necessarily affect the early
I construction of the public buildings
| at Anchorage and Ketchikan.
However, various members of
Congress, like Senator Jones, chair
man of the Appropriations Com
mittee, Senator LaFollette and Rep
resentative Swing, believe that
Congress should assist the unem
ployment situation by providing
jobs through appropriations for
public works, which would largely
mean public buildings. Senator
Jones says: “I should think that
$500,000,000 in appropriations for
public works would be about the
limit to which we could go with
certainty that the funds would be
economically and properly expend
;ed.” Senator LaFollette favors ex
j pending $650,000,000 for Federal
: public buildings, river, harbor and
| flood control works, forest roads
;and trails, etc. Representative
I Swing, of California, strongly urges
i putting hundreds of thousands of
men to work in a Federal program
of expansion of internal improve
ments, including programs. Should
these ideas prevail, and it is more
• than possible that they may, it is
expected that allocated buildings
like those for Anchorage and Ket
chikan, would be appropriated for,
which in the Alaska case would
mean $400,000 for each building.

Delegate Wickersham has pre
pared and will introduce in Con
gress a bill to authorize the Leg
islature of Alaska to so extend its
legislative power as to take over
the salmon and other fisheries
within Territorial waters and tc
control fishing and canning there
in; to have jurisdiction over all
wild animals, including all fur
bearing animals except the fur
seals, and over all wild or game
birds therein. The Legislature
would have authority to pass laws

control and regulation of the tak

A constituent of Nenana writes
the Delegate that coal shipped 120
miles from Healy to Fairbanks only
costs 18 cents more than the rest •
dents of Nenana are required to
pay, when they are only half th^
distance away and pay $1 per ton.
He also complains of the cost ot
freight on 3,250 pounds of groceries
amounting ot $230 in Seattle, whip*
the freight was $119.
