WANT SCALP OF PUBLICITY MAN
 FOR TERRITORY
Emergency Clause Is Added To Bill-Joker in An
 other Senate Measure.

The Territorial Senate plans to have the Alaska Publicity Bureau abolished just as soon as possible and when the measure was up yes terday afternoon in the late session, the emergency clause was attached to the title of Senate Bill No. 40 which makes the repeal take effect lon passage and approval of the measure"
 Senators Collins and Britt opposed this hurried action and voted no on the emergency clause, Senator Collins asking Senator Frawley, who proposed the emergency, If he did not want to give person few hours to look for another position. v
 Senate Bill No. 48 was unanimous ly passed and although members of the Senate sought to impose more labor on the part of the Attorney General, the emergency clause was not inserted to the title of the bill and therefore certain amendment will not take effect until 90 days after the passage and approval of the bill unless the House members "got wise"
 S. B. No. 4S provides publication If 800 Session Laws of the present Legislature but only those laws really enacted, which, of course, in cludes memorials and resolutions also passed and approved, are to be in the Session Laws.
 An amendment was proposed that instead of the Secretary of Alaska employing some one to put in the titles and arrange the index, that the Attorney General do this little thing. This amendment carried but was not made an emergency, so the Attorney General will not be re- quired to do this work until next session unless, as above stated. the House members catch the drift of the intention.
 Senate Bill No. 37, relative to the filing of inventories of Territorial property, came in for an amendment that inventories of all Territorial offices be made 30 days after the passage and approval of the bill. ." The bill now goes to the expressing clerk and will take it's regular place on the daily file.
 Senate Joint Memorial No. 6, rela- tive to better mail service toI Yakutat, was unanimously passed at the late session yesterday afternoon.
