 in Fish Traps
Special to The Gateway

JUNEAU, Mar 25.-A bill said to be designed to wipe out fish traps in the Territory was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Paul of Ketchikan. The bill provides for levying a tax on all fish taken ill traps, as follows:
 For each humpback, 1 cent; each chum and dog salmon, cents; cohO, 2 1-2 cents red salmon and sockeye. 5 cents; and kings, 10 cents.
 A rap was taken by the legislature at Governor Bone for the appointment several months ago of R. J. Summers as Territorial Highway Engineer. by Senate Bill No. 3, introduced by Sen ators Brown of the Second and Dunn of the Fourth divisions. The appoint ment was made under the provisions of Section l. Chapter 92, laws of 1923.
 The Senate bill declares that the ap- pointment was made prematurely, as the law was intended to be operative until the provisions of the Federal Highway Act were made applicable to Alaska in some form" The meas ure further provides that no engineer shall be appointed or paid until the Federal Act is so extended.
 Senator Aldrich introduced bill at the request of the Ketchikan Cham Der of Commerce authorizing incorpo. rated towns to levy special assess ments for street and sewer improve. ments, levying against the property l benefited directly.
