U.S.Chamber of Commerce Would Admit Canadian
 Ships to North
John Hooper, Delegate from Wran- gell, Succeeds in Getting Resolu- tion Passed at Regional Conven- tiop Asking to Have Exception Against Alaska Rail and Water
 Haul Eliminated From Jones Act.

PASADENA, Calif.-The western regional convention of the United States chamber of commerce, ad- journing last week, adopted a reso- lution urging TWotai1 mo-. Jones-White shipping bill whereby Alaska might benefit. The act now prohibits foreign vessels from en- gazing in shipping from one Ameri- can port to another. Representatives of Alaska have contended that the use of Canadian vessels should be permitted in the winter season when few ships reach Alaska.
 Another resolution was adopted urging the national board of direc- tors to give attention to fostering the salmon industry.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-12-13

The United States Chamber of Commerce invited the Wrangell Com merciai Club to send delegate to the regional convention at Pasadena The club responded by appointing as delegate John Hooper, president of the American Tourists Association, and an honorary life member of the Wrangell Commercial Club. Creden- tials were forwarded to MT. Hooper who is a resident of Los Angeles. The day before the convention opened at Pasadena the Wrangell Commercial Club cabled to MT. Hooper requesting him to endeavor to get the big con- vention to pass a resolution calling for an amendment to the Jones' White Act which would do away with the unjust discrimination against Alaska. Under the provisions of the act as it now stands Seattle and other ports in Washington, Oregon and California enjoy certain privileges which are denied Alaska ports.
 The above dispatch shows that MT Hooper was successful in his efforts to carry out the wishes of the Wran- gell Commercial Club.

Grafton of the suggestion practically
only deals involving properties zoned
for various business and industrial pur-
poses and unimproved ground. In GER
tain residential sections the sale of
ground for apartment house sites is
vitality affected by coming because of the
restrictions against apartments. The
same is true of ground when considered
as building sites for row houses, group
houses and semi-detached houses, which
classes of improvements are also re-
Stricted in certain sections.
quite often offers to purchase real
estate are made and ratified where the
contract contains a stipulation that the
ultimate consummation of the sale is
contingent upon the property being re-
zoned in a different manner within a
definite period of time Such contract
naturally gives full protection to all
parties concerned. and there should be
no misunderstanding with such state
ments incorporated in the contract.
There never has been a complaint
brought to the Washington Real Estate
Board where purchaser bought a
property under Misrepresentation as To
coming conditions. This fact, together
with the knowledge that the custom
among reputable brokers is to handle
the question of coming with the care
that its importance requires, rather
leads me to believe that it is unneces-
sary to advocate any formal require
ment changing our standard form OF
sale contract"
