FEW MEASURES PASSED UP TO
 PRESENT TIME
Only IA Bills Pass Both Houses So Far-S Senate
 Passes Larger Number

Out of 91 measures introduced in the Legislature, IA h d passed through both Houses at the end of the twenty-fourth day, yester- day, of the session. None of them had failed to receive the approval of Gov. Parks.
 Twelve of the 14 were Senate bills and two originated in the lower House. The Senate has passed 31 of the 59 measures originating there. Of the 32 measures in troduced in the House, only four had been passed by it.
 The Senate met in a short ses- sion yesterday afternoon and trans acted little business, having light calendar for the day. It passed two bills and considered several others in their second reading.
 It proved it can move in hurry when desired. The Finance Com mittee introduced a measure ap- propriating $348.23 to pay some bills incurred by the 1927 session. This was read the requisite three. times and passed by unanimous vote.
 Included in this were: $266.43 for J. B. Burford & Company, $75.25 for Morris Construction Company and $6.60 for the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company. Funds for these items were appropriated by the last Legislature, but, lacking specific authority for their expen- diture, the Governor was unable to disburse them.
 The Senate yesterday also passed a measure providing for improve ment, repair and maintenance of the Valdez dyke, appropriatine s1O,0OO from the general fund, to be used in cooperation with the Alas ka Road Commission.
 The Senate resolution, slightly amended, directing the Attorney General to compile and codify the Alaska Session Laws and Com piled Laws of Alaska and have them ready to submit to the 1881 Legis- lature, was favorably reported yes terday by the Senate Committed on Judiciary. The amendment of- fered by the Committee allows the Attorney General extra clerical help.
