Alaskan Soldier Asks Bonus Writes For it From Germany

Ryan's application is but one of many similar ones, according to MT. Dawes. Others have come from Hon. olulu, army posts in the States, and from Alaskans who left the Terri tory to enter either the military or naval services and who have since that time not returned.
 To those who have made appllca- tion for a bonus, the department has told them the story of the efforts made to secure the passage Of land compensation bonus memorial at the last session of the Territorial Legis- lature and it's failure. To them all, said Mir. Dawes, replies have been made that they have applied for something which does not exist.
 Had the land compensation plan endorsed by the American Legion in Alaska been approved by the Terri torial Legislature and been put into effect by Congress, department off cials believe that a number of those applying would have taken up land and built homes for themselves in the Territory.

DELEGATE ASKS ABOUT CAPITOL
 BUILDING HERE
Asks Commercial Association to Ascertain Sentiment
 on Unit" Plan.
Continued From Page One.1

struction of the building in the near future is frankly expressed by the delegate. who said:
 Tn making this suggestion to you I have in mind the fact that Con gross is now in a period of retrench ment and it is virtually impossible to secure appropriations for any public project, and particularly for public buildings In fact, the com mittee on public buildings does not want to listen to the advocacy of any bill that carries a new appropria- tion or an additional appropriation and I anticipate that this sentiment in Congress is going to continue for number of years, so that it may be five or six years before there would be any chance to obtain an increased appropriation for larger building"
 Consult Governor
 Delegate Sutherland suggests that it would be advisable to consult Governor Bone in the matter and asks that the association also sound out citizens of Juneau generally so that the recommendation of the as sociation will contain the general sentiment of the community
 The delegate said that he had been informed by MT Whittemore that the cost of Portland cement in Jul neau is s6 per barrel and that the large increase over Puget Sound prices thus represented would make an unfavorable showing before the committee in hearings on such a measure as he proposes to introduce He suggests that the association take prompt action in making it's recon mendations.
 Act Next Week
 Commenting on the letter this aft ernoon, President Allen Shattuck, ol the association, said that the execu tive committee would sound out the sentiment of the town thoroughly next week and have this information ready when Governor Bone arrives from the Westward. On his arrival the matter will be taken up with him It is planned to take definite actior in the matter at next Thursday meeting of the association, although it may be necessary to postpone this for day or two until Governor. sBons gets back to Juneau, ,73.

 AS far as I know" said MT. Shat tuck. "the sentiment among members of the Juneau Commercial Associa tion Is unanimously favorable tOs thu erection of a Capitol building here ol the unit plan. 1 believe that thu town as a whole will also favor th' plan"
