COMMITTEE ON RULES D DECIDE

MOTION WOULD PREVENT A VOTE ON THE SPECIAL
 DRY APPROPRIATION

WASHINGTON, Jan, 30, (P- For the second time in two days the House cut short the session to solve the problem of parliamentary procedure when troubde developed over how to consider the prohibi- tion and tax refund items in the deficiency appropriations bill.
 The trouble began when Senator Wood of Indiana, in charge of the measuIe, called the Bill up and asked that it be sent to conference with the Senate.
 The adoption of this motion would have prevented a vote on the $24,O0O,OOO increase in dry funds for the Presidents use.
 Senator Garner of Texas, one of the proponents of this item, coun- tered with the suggestion for a debate on the proposal. After further wrangling Senator Tilson of Connecticut, Republican lead CT, moved for adjournment. The motion was carried by a vote of 195 to 93
 Most of the Democrats opposed the motion with Republicans fav- bring it. The Rules Committee will decide the method of procedure.

KS MOST IDEAL SITE WITHIN RADIUS OF MANY MILES
 OF THE CITY

Various members of the Seward Chamber oI Cvn Il u the Aviation Field Committee, nave be- posed sites for local aviation field, for months past giving each suggestion for a possible location their personal consideration. And yesterday, at the regular meeting, their findings were presented for action.
 Plenty of action was forthcom- 4tg AOr InLll .t.,., ,oaUA1~l esAl oV- iation field on Lowell Point, met with spontaneous approval from everyone. Never had such a unan- iEnous chorus of assent and enthus- iasm over local project been met with. The only question raised was why the suggestion had not been thought of before
 The present field at the radio station is drowned upon by the Territorial Road Board, it was said, due to only one reason and that is on account of the high tides which completely flood the field. For this reason the expenditure of any portion of the Territory funds, for aviation fields, has never been considered good business.
 WONDERFUL SITE
 But Lowell Point, with it's nat ural protection and proximity to both land and water landings, is the most ideal site which could be found anywhere. Its very nearnesS to the business section of the city, and easy approach, both in winter and summer, is another asset in it's favor.
 The distance from the city linn it's is placed at slightly under one and one-half miles but with the completion of the splendid road way around and down to the Sew ard Fisheries plant, it is thought the distance will be shortened just that much.
 NEED FOR ROAD
 The matter of egresS and ingreSS being of primary importance a (committee of three were appoint ed to discuss with members of the Alaska Legislature, either by letter or as they pass thru the city, urg- ing them to make a recommenda- ton to the Legislative body for an appropriation of $1O,O00 for con- struction of an airplane landing field on Lowell Point and for the construction of road to it.
