House Appropriation Measure
Contains Amount-Steese
Trying to Get More.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April L
AS passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives last week, the Army Ap-
preparation bill carried an item of
$650,000 for the next fiscal year to
be expended by the Alaska Road
Commission on roads and trails in
the Territory. This is the amount
approved by the Bureau Budget and
is identical with that appropriated
by Congress for the current fiscal
year.
Col James G. Stcese, who has
been chairman of the Commission for
the past four years, has been ap-
pointed by President Coolidge as
Engineer Officer on the Commission,
succeeding Col. John c. Gotwals.
The Alaska daily empire., 1924-04-01

The Alaska Road Commission had
not hoped to get any increase from
the House over the amount recon-
mended by the Budget, according to
advices received here from reliable
sources. 1t is known, however, that
Col. Steese, whose estimates called
for $1,5O0,O00 for next year, hopes
to be able to get a substantial in
crease in the Senate. Col. Gotwals
will appear before the Senate Com
mittee in support of the Commits
sion's estimates. Col. Steese was
expected to leave Washington last
Sunday for juneau.
While no word has been received
here relative to the retirement of
Col. Gotwals from the Commission,
the above Associated Press dispatch
indicates he will not return to AL
aska. 1t was known here that his
four-year term OF duty with the Com
mission would expire early this
summer and it was considered doubt
full If he would be allowed to remain
longer away from the Corps of En-
gineers. The appointment of Col.
Steese as Engineer Officer consol-
idates that position with that of
Chairman of the Commission.
