SECRETARIES IN MEETINGS HEAR
 LOCAL CITIZENS
Work, Wallace and Hoover Listen to Local Views on
 many Alaskan Matters.

Hearings were held yesterday afternoon at the@ City Hall by Sec retary of the Interior Work, Seere- tary of Agriculture Wallace and Sec retary of Commerce Hoover at which citizens of Juneau presented their views on matters of public interest in Alaska. Secretary Work held his hearing at the City Council Cham Der, Secretary Wallace in the As- sembly Room of the Fire Depart ment and Secretary Hoover in one of the Public Library rooms,
 Secretary Work and Commissioner of the General Land office Spry heard several Juneautes with refer ence to matters which concern the Interior Department. Juneau people were assured that arrangements would be made to care for the public lands business of the First Division at Juneau.
 Secretary Wallace declared that he was impressed with the represen- tations that Juneau citizens made in favor of modifying the pulp tim Der sale contract it has offered to the public by providing for a fixed price for timber stumpage to con- tinue during the life of the contract. or to extend the period for reap praisal of the value of pulp wood from five year periods to not less than twenty year periods. He said they would receive very earnest con- sideration. He did not take so kindly to the suggestion that timber lands be set aside for locators, to be used by them continuously or forfeited, upon terms that would compel them to provide for reforestration-or go cut of business if the timber on the tract becomes exhausted.
 Col Greeley, Chief Forester of the United States, sat with Secretary Wallace.
 '.I want every resident of Alaska, said Secretary Wallace in con cluding statement, ito feel at liberty to make complaint, in person or in writing. to any member of the Forestry Bureau or directly to the Secretary, if he feels at any time that he is not getting a square deal or if he has any constructive criti- cism or suggestion that he thinks should be considered. l assure you that every such complaint, criti- cism or suggestion will be considered thoroughly and, conscientiously.
 Secretary Wallace and Colonel Greeley conferred with local officials of the Department of Agriculture at the office of the Forestry Bureau sn the Goldstein Building after the hearing.
 That Secretary Hoover is not in favor of turning the fisheries of Alaska over to the Territorial Leg ton from Congress that will provide for the limitation of the fisheries catch and permit the making of regulations that will be fair for all concerned, if Congress fails to act in the premises, the reserve or zone system that has been inaugurated in the Boring Sea and Cook Inlet dicated by the questions he asked. He said that the Department wants to do what Is right to all interests involved in the Alaska fisheries questions and at the same time it wanted to conserve the supply of fish and make permanent the fish, cries industry in the Territory. He declared that all these matters are being given careful consideration, and he welcomed critical and con structive suggestions.
