 May Be Last Meeting
 MT. Reed, who represents the Fourth Division on the Commis- sion, said this might be the last meeting of the Board, referring in- directly to the movement to obtain from Congress for the local Legis- lature power to control game and furbearing animals in the Terri tory.
 He said he doubted if this would come to pass. since Alaska would hardly want to give up the S100,- 900 it gets from the Commission every year, and some $20,0OO more in revenues that goes to schools.
 Game Management Plan No activity, not even politics, is so fraught with troublesome controversies as is game control, declared MT. Terhune Every reg ulation and law adopted or passed dealing with these resources is apt to cause agitation. It has been and is the aim of the Commis- sion to adopt game management plan that will strike a happy med ium and be satisfactory to the ma jority of if not all of the people
 The Commission, he added, al- ways appreciates suggestions and constructive criticism.
