CHAMBER WILL ASK HOOVER TO
 MODIFY ORDER
Adopts Resolution Seeking Removal of Restrictions
 on Duck Hunting

The Chamber of Commerce today voiced local objections to the limi- tation of the open hunting season on wild fowl and adopted resolu- tion asking for a modification of the Presidents executive order so as to exclude the Territory entire y from the score of it's operations.
 The Legislative Committee was directed to prepare suitable tele- gram to be sent at once to Delegate James Wickersham for presentation to President Hoover and to the United States Biological Survey It will ask that no restriction, other than the usual seasonal and bag limits, be imposed on Alaska.
 Kctchikan Also Acts
 This is different from the az. ton taken by the Ketchikan Cham. Der of Commerce which telegraphe6 the local organization that i. had wired Senators Peter Norbeck and Frederick Walcott and Paul c, Redington, Chief of the Btologi- cal Survey, asking that the se2sons dates for Southeast Alaska be made October 1 to 31 instead of Septem- Der to September 30. It asked the local Chamber to take similar action.
 Proponents of the movement to protest against the limitation of the season in Alaska argued that such restriction could be of no ma terial benefit to the drouth strick- en areas where the bird supply has been seriously affected. These areas draw their wild fowl from the mid ole tier of Canadian breeding grounds very largely while the birds from Alaska grounds go prin- cipally to the region west of the Rocky Mountains where conditions are about normal
 No Shortage Here
 It was further pointed out there is no shortage of wild fowl in the Territory; the season has been un- usually favorable for breeding. rear ing and feeding of the wild fowl; and flocks are known to be larger than usual.
 Owing to the fact that Alaska is a single administrative unit for wild fowl regulations, and has been for years, it was felt that the authori- ties would not consider dividing it into two units in establishing open seasons. And in that case, it would be unfair to the rest of the Terri tory to ask for the open season in October instead of September since that would be too late for hunting anywhere north of the Alaska range.
 Make Traffic Study There is pressing need for the institution of sensible traffic regu- lations here, declared H. L. Faulk- ner, whose motion directing the Executive Board to discuss the situation with the City Council and offer it's cooperation in re- vising existing traffic regulations was passed by the Chamber with cut opposition MT. Faulkner criti- cized the present system sharply.
 He declared too many cars are allowed to stand in the streets all O. the time, citing conditions on Willoughby Avenue as an exam pie; buttons" or street markers placed in the streets were charac- terized as dangerous" the stop signs on crosstown streets were also labeled by him as menacing. Two simple remedies were sug- gested by him. First, keep down the number of cars parking in the streets, permitting only taxicabs delivery trucks and other motor vehicles incidental to the conduct of business there. Second, reduce the speed limit to 15 or 20 miles Ter hour within the city limits.
