 'In anticipation Of rumors to tha e" 1 nal of the Richardson highway from Valdez to Cordova and the Valdez dock to Kodiak, l will state that my atti tude toward those proposals is the same as my attitude in the matter ot changing court headquarters.
 Sincerely yours,
 DAN A. SUTHERLAND,

 q would not want to take the court away from Valdez. The development policy of this administration will be broad enough to bring Seward into its own. The administration is determin ed to develop Alaska.

With the population rapidly moving west ward, and court business increasing here, with corresponding falling off in legal business in Valdez, the head quarters will be automatically remov- ed Until this time there appears little hopes of any change
