 | A 90-day hunting season on mil gratory wild fowl this year will be urged by the Chamber which today authorized its Legislative Committee to take this matter up with J. W. Bowles, district repre- : sentative for the Pacific Coast section on the Migratory Bird Ad visory Committee.
 Alaska was not included by Sec retary Hyde, of the Department of Agriculture, in any of the dis tricts, but the Chamber will seek Mir. Bowles assistance despite that oversight
 Two reasons will be advanced by z the Chamber for its request for an uncurtailed shooting seaSon- first, there is no shortage of wild
 fowl in the Territory, and second, ) these birds constitute an import ant source of meat for food pur- poses to many people living in iso- lated regions of Alaska and they 2 are entitled to full consideration. , If, however, the Department of , Agriculture should limit the sea- son to 60 days, division of 5ne i Territory into two zones with the
 section north of the Alaska range t in one and south of that line in r the second with different opening : and closing dates. If the 30-day season should be continued this ? year, three Alaska zones will be ] suggested to MT. BowleS.
 Protest Is Deferred
 While the Chamber decided to- l day on the recommendation of the . directorate to defer filing a for : maj protest against the proposed l transfer of the Alaska Road Com s missions activities to the Interior
 Department, t authorized the Leg 2 tslative Committee to write Dele 2 gate WickerShatm on the subject. !. No protest will be filed until the a legislation, recently announced as . being prepared for introduction g in Congress, is perfected and in- : troduced
 ] The Chamber will suggest to 0 the Delegate that he make an ef- Q fort to have Congressional action
 on the transfer postponed until
 after the Congress has acted on e a bill now pending before it to : create a Department of Public : Works to which the President is : authorized to transfer all of the f public building activities of the
 Federal Government except that : of the Rivers and Harbors Board e and the purely naval and military e projects under the Nevy and Wan . Departments. If this bill becomes . a law, it is believed possible that n all of the Federal government
 road construction intereste would . be vested in the new department s Co-Operation Is Promised . IL. w. Baker, General Passen- = ger Agent for the Alaska Steam 0 ship Company, in letter to the : Chamber, assured Juneau of the t company's cooperation in trying 2 to prevent an influx of job-seek- e ing individuals from coming tc If lthe Territory.
