EFFORT REPEAL
ROAD LAW FAILS
INLOWERKOUSE
Wilson Bill Killed 11 to 5—
Aldrich Amendment Will
Be Put Through.
The iate3t effort to overturn the
present cooperative road-construction
system and replace it with the old J
system of independent -construction
by divisional commissioners cam a to i
W unsuccessful conclusion yesterday j
when the Htxuse by a vote of 11 to r> ,
indefinitely (postponed the Wilson
road bill. Those voting against post-1
ponentent were Decker, Johnston.
Ruelson, Wil8on and Speaker Cole.
Mr. Wilson's bill cut out all pos-j
sibllity of entering into cooperative1
arrangements with any of the Fed
eral -agencies art-d provided for ex- j
pnnditure of all Territorial funds by i
an elective commission in each divi-1
sion. The author of the measure ar-1
gued that the old system of road and:
trail construction in vogue jn Alaska j
prior to 1919 was more satisfactory |
at least to the people in the Second
Division than the present system. He
read a number of letters and tele-1
grams from individuals, one from the!
Nome Miners’ Union( urging him to
work fo-r the repeal of the present
law. He sa'id it was a live issue in
the last Territorial election. Mr.
Decker took the same position, saying
there is a general demand in the
Second Division for a reversion to
the old methods, which was consid
ered more efficient. This conviction,
he said, might (be basod on an appre
hension of the present law, but it
was tlhere- Personally, he added, he
is of the opinion that the old system
had superior advantages over the
present one.
Daly Upholds Law
Mr. Daly took issue with his col
leagues from the Second and declared
that the results obtained under the
cooperative plan are as good on an
average as any ever obtained under
the separatist system. No change
should (be made at the present time,
particularly in view of the efforts be
ing made to get Congress to extend
the -Federal Highway Act to Alaska.
The arguments for the repeal of the
present law would be good ones for
an Increased road appropriation, but
were not forceful when applied as
they were.

beneficial to the Territory. “1 know
