 of Controller Bill

1 The House this morning rolled up it's sleeves and went to work. It passed four of it's own measures, three that originated in the Senate, one House Joint Resolution, and killed one Senate bill.
 It had an initial skirmish over the Controller Bill, which was read for the first time officially on the floor, wrangled a bit over some of it's rules of procedure, but emerged 1 at noon with cleared calendar and in perfectly good humor.
 Pass Burgh Bill
 Mir Burgh's measure appropriat- ! ing $5,000 for the maintenance and repair of various telephone lines i on Seward Peninsula, passed the 1 House. It covers communication lines between Nome and Shelton, Solomon and Bluff, Nome, Council and Golovin, Candle and Deering, and Candle and Keewalik.

 Tilt Over Reference
 When Speaker Rothenburg refer rcd the Controller Bill to the Com i rnittee on Territorial Institutions, i he drew a protest from MT Vim, who sought to have the reference set aside and to get the bill sent to the Committee on Judiciary and Federal Relations of which MT Murray is Chairman. Apparently it wasn't popular, or at least sought after bill MT Murray firmly opposed the suggestion of MT Winn, and MT. Donnelly, Chair man of the Committee to which it had been referred, expressed his willingness to see it taken out of his hands. MT. Vim argued that the measure had lot to do with the Federal relations and nothing at all to do with Territorial insti- tutions MT Foster retorted: We agree that it has nothing to do with Territorial institutions"
 Mir. Winns motion to have the measure brought back to the floor of the House for new reference, was defeated.
 Predatory Animal Control
 Included in several measures re- ported favorably today by the Ways and Means Committee was Lomen's predatory animal control bill. The Committee approved an appropria- ton of S30,000 for the biennium. Chairman Shattuck said that to this sum will be added at least $10,000 in Federal funds, and pos sibly more than that sum.
 The measure provides for the creation of a Territorial control or ganization under the head of a trained and experienced director On the force will be several hunt CTS to be trained to carry on the work of combating wolves and coyotes
