Committee of the Whole Is Considering AldriCh Measure; Various
 Sides Given.
ONE BILL IS PRESENTED
Only One More Day Left in which To Introduce New Bills in the
 Senate.

The Aldrich bill providing for the building and maintenance of public road in the Territory of AL
 aska occupied the chief attention of the Senators in the committee
 of the whole today. The bill un-
 der consideration provides for a
 territorial board of road commis-
 sioners, comprised of the Governor, Surveyor c eneral and Attorney General, with one office i'll each of
 the four divisions of the Territory.
 A divisional road commission in each of the four Territorial divis- ions. will consist of three members. i Two of these, as provided by the bill, arc to be appointed for two years by the Governor and are to serve without pay except that on
 official trips they are to me remun-
 erated for travelling and living ex-
 penses. The third member of the divisional commission is to be the Territorial road commissioned elect ed every two years by his division, and with a salary not to exceed $2500 per annum.
 Heated discussion of some of the provisions prescribed in this first section occupied the Senate until recess was called at noon. Sena- tors, Roman and Sundback main tained that efficient men could not be induced to give their services
 and time without remuneration and that even if they were so public spirited they would not be as thor
 oughly informed of the needs of certain other parts of the division
 as they were of their own yicin-
 ity.
 Funds Have Been Curse.
 Senator Gaustad argued on the i other hand that distribution of ! funds had been the .curse of road
 work in the Territory, up to date ] He maintained that although the road commissioners had probably been the best possible, that the
 system of distributing the money l instead of concentrating it in one part of the division until one ol
 more good roads could be com | pleted, was wrong.
 i Senator Aldrich maintained that 1 the board was intended for a
 check on the road commissioner and
 that the bill was in accordance
 with the Alabama law
 In the midst of the discussion a recess was declared to welcome
 President Hubbard of the Senate who returned on the Admiral Ev- ans from a ten-days' absence. One More Day For Bills.
 Although only one more day re-
 mains in which to introduce new 1 bills, only one was introduced in ! the Senate this morning. Senator l Roman introduced a bill to amend Section 1850, Chapter 83 of the Compiled Laws pertaining to the | disposal of property of deceased | persons
 The Senate convened at the
 usual hour this morning, followed by roll call, chaplain services and approval of the Journal. Following he introduction and first reading ] If one new bill the Senate re- solved itself into a committee ol he whole for the consideration of the daily file
