Fund For North Included In Army Appropriation Bill
 Passed By Congress

WASHINGTON, June 4.-(SpeciaD When the army appropriation bill passed Congress yesterday after noon, sum totaling $350 900 be- came available for road construction in Alaska by the Alaska Road Com mission. The final figure is com promise between Seattle and House conferees, the Commission original estimates of 0,000 having been cut down to $150, 900 by the House, later to be restored by the Senate to it's full amount and now by con ference reduced by $70,000, leaving appropriated $350, ,000.
 The Petersburg bonding bill also passed both houses. This bill amends the one passed in 1919 and authorizes an increase in amount of bonds to be issued by the town from $75 900 to $150,000. These bonds are to be used to raise money to build schools, q power plant and other public utilities. The S0-rod bill as yet has passed only the House; it's passage by the Senate before adjournment is problematical.
