There is not such a report Of the
financial condition of the Home ac-

evidence secured by this Committee
is such that we urge that a detailed
report of the financial condition OF
the Home be, at once, demanded to
clear matters up. If all is right, this
is necessary to inspire confidence
If not, the public should know it.
I'VE, your Committee, further
submit that in view of the foregoing

Governor Riggs misinterpets the

PUBLIC UTILITY
MEASURE GIVEN
THE TURN DOWN
Changes Of Boundaries Of In
corporated Towns Is
Discussed.

During session tine Commit
tee Of the Whole Senate this fore
noon, with Senator Britt in the
chair, S. 3. Is was quickly and
suddenly, indefinitely postponed.
The measure was introduced by
Senator Hunt and when questioned
regarding it he said he had very
little to say in its support declaring
that he had hardly considered it,
leaving it to committee report.
The bill would take out of coun-
ellis of incorporated towns the right
to regulate rates, ETC., of public
utilities and place the matter into
the hands of the Territorial Bank
ing Board.
Several Senators objected to this
change and the Committee of the
Whole will report Indefinite post
ponement.
Changing of boundaries of incor-
porated towns, by annexation or
Withdrawals, known as S. B. No. 81
was being discussed when a recess
was taken shortly after II O'Clock
to 1870 o'clock this afternoon. Ac-
cording to several Senators, letters
and cablegrams have been received
asking some definite relief. Senator
Collins stated that there were towns
in the Territory which now covered
more territory than was necessary.
Many towns, in the boom days,
took in considerable land said
Senator Collins, land now that they
are down to a working basis, desire
to become smaller, cutting down ex
penses of operation, ETC."
Senator Hess stated that certain
sections of Chapter rs, Session Laws
of 1913, which is to be amended
contained requirements regarding
special elections on annexations, etc
He proposed an amendment doing
away with the special elections and
the expenses incurred, and placed
the matter of annexation or with
drawals, in the hands of Commits
sioners. Senator Hess proposed an
other amendment that appeals could
be taken from decisions of the COM
missioners.
Senator Chamberlin objected to so
much power being given to COM
missioners and believed that the
councils, the members of whom are
elected by the people, should regu-
late all such municipal matters,
Afternoon Session.
At the session this afternoon S. B.
So was recommended for passage
with the amendments. The emer-
gency clause, on motion of Senator
Price was inserted in the title, fol-
lowing a request of residents of
Skagway.
Senator Frawley spoke against
the bill saying he believed the old
method of holding election was
preferable to the present require
ments which left everything in the
hands of commissioners.
Senate Bill No. SO, relative to
granting power to the Anchorage
School District to transfer property
TO the newly incorporated town of
Anchorage was amended and as it
emerged, was a general law cover
ing any similar circumstance,
whereby a town incorporated may
take over the school district prop
