MAURICE D. LEEHEY
 IS BUSY WORKING ON
 PLAN FOR TERRITORY
He is Busy at Washington in the Interests of the Territorial
 Shipping Board

Word received from Maurice D. Leehey is that he is still at Wash ington busy with the work of the ! Alaska Territorial Shipping Board He has appeared before the Federal Shipping Board several times, and discussed matters with member of Congress.
 J. J. Underwood, writing under date of June 18th to the Seattle Times from Washington D. c. Says:
 After spending several days at the offices of the United States Ship ping board, Maurice D. Leehey of Seattle, special attorney for the Territory of Alaska, is convinced | that it is not going to be so easy to get ships to ply in the northern 'rade as it appeared when he left the West He also is certain that it is going to be considerable time be fore the Territory will be able to go into the steamship business.
 ''The Territorial Legislature enacted law appropriating money for on investigator of steamship conditions and authorized a Commission to get the consent of Congress to the issu ance of $5,000,000 worth of Terri torial bonds. if, in the opinion of the Commission, it is wise for the Terri tory to embark in the sea transport. ation business.
 "The problem that is troubling Mir Leehey most is the uncertainty of what is going to be done in regard to steamships already in the hands of the Shipping Board. It will be some months before it is decided by or operated by the government. If Congress takes the viewpoint of the farmers and decides that the ships shall be operated by government agency an effort probably will be made to induce the Shipping Board to place some of the vessels in the Alaska business in opposition to the companies now engaged in that trade.
 "If the ships are to be sold, it will be some time before Alaska is able to buy any of them, for Congress has a number of reconstruction mat ters demanding urgent attention. It will have little time to give to con sideration of legislation effeCting Alaska, and the consent of Congress 10 the bond issue must be obtained before the Territory can make the purchase"
