BILL IS PASSED;
TOTALS JIM
House Passes Bill After Two
day Consideration—Few
Changes Are Made.
(Continued rrom rage One.)
ure was approved by the House
with a slight amendment and later
passed. This obviated the necessity
for making provision for the Ter
ritorial Mine Inspector’s office for
the biennium, only $1,000 being ap
propriated for the labor Investiga
tion duties performed by that office.
Agree on Museum Bill.
When the House reached the
Items for the Alaska Museum and
Historical Library, carried in the
general appropriation bill, the Sen-]
ate’s substitute for the Polley AI-;
aska Museum bill was called out [
Amendments were adopted to that j
raising the amount to be appro
priated for the Garside Building and
alterations thereon from $17,000 to j
$21,000. The substitute was recoin- ;
mended for passage but final action
was not taken yesterday by the
House.
After agreement had been reached
on this matter, amendments to the
general appropriations bill were
adopted which, if they stand un
changed in the final bill as agreed
on by the two Houses will require
three Territrolal offices, that of
Treasurer, Attorney General and
Commissioner of Education to va
cate the offices which they now
occupy within 30 days and establish
themselves in the Garside Building.
This will be necessray owing to the
fact that provision iB made for but
three months rent afiter May 1.
Few Changes Made.
But few other changes were made
In the bill at is was originally sub
mitted. The Governor's office was
given $2,000 for the dessini I nation
of Information about Alaska, in
cluding a revision and circulation
of booklets and pamphlets, purchase
of addVtiona! copies of the Gover
nor’s report, etc., during the bien
nium.
Seeking a solution of the diffi
culty that had arisen over the con
trol of the overtime fund for em
ployees In the House, Mr. Murray
brought In an amendment providing
thait the fund should be disbursed
under the direction of the Governor,
reverting to a custom that had been
practiced prior to 1921, when It
was transferred to the Clark of the
House and Secretary of the Senate.
In the discussion of the amend
ment, the debate waxed warm be
tween Mr. Decker and Mr. Cole on
one side and Mr. Murray on the
other. The amendment was adopted
by a one-vote margin. A similar
amendment iby Mr. Decker affecting,
the Senate overtime fund was also
adopted without debate.
