OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)

With the enactment of the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond to authorize incorporated muni- cipalities in Alaska to incur bonded indebtneSs, which was ap proved by the President, the cit ies and towns can now issue bonds for undertaking public works without securing authority of Congress as has been neces- sary in the past.
 The Act limits the bonded in debtedness that can be incurred to 10 per cent of the total value of the taxable property of the city or town. It requires appro- val by at least 65 per cent of the voters who are listed on the tax assessment roll of the town. The Act stipulates that the bonds is sued shall not bear more than 6 per cent interest and shall ma ture in not more than 30 years from the date of issuance.
 The governing bodies of the towns will decide on the regula- tions for the elections, as well as other matters pertaining to the issuance of the bonds and to pro vide the necessary tax revenue for meeting the interest and re- tiring the bonds when due.
 The Delegate said that he be- lieved the passage of this law marks a very definite forward step in the gradual extension of self-government to the Territory with consequent loosening of the restrictions placed on Alaska by Congress. He also pointed out that the Act could easily be the direct means of saving mon ey to Alaska towns which would be enabled to take advantage of loan opportunities at low rates of interest that might not be available if negotiations were held up pending Congressional action on the individual applica- tions. Further, in this connec- ton, it appears that some Alaska towns that now have outstanding bond issues on which interest rates are high will be enabled to authorize new issues at the pre- vailing low rates of interest with which to retire the original debts

Fascists Revolt in Spain and Morocco Flares Anew
REBELLION l MOROCCO

(By The Assoclateo Press)

(By The ASSnclateo freSs|
 UNDATED, July 19th-A swift spreading rebellion of Spanish armed forces in northern Moroc- co occurred without warning, but the Spanish government at Mad rid said, that it had been quelled.
 Reports that revolt broke out in, Spain itself, was denied. by authorities at Hendaye, French frontier town, who said that a third of the Spanish Foreign Le- zion and regular garrison troops had revolted. Unconfirmed re- ports and rumors stated that fight ing progressed at Cadiz, Seville, and Burgos.
 The means of communication from Spain is rigidly controlled by the government which event. ually issued communique de- claring that part of the army representing Spain in Morocco has risen against the republican form of government, but declares that the movement is limited ex- clusively to several cities in Mor- ocean protectorate zone, and that no one in Spain, itself, joined the scheme"
 French correspondents said the plot was originally set for July 18th, but was hastened by lead CTS, founded on a split in the ranks of the army and police, with a division over support of the republican government. Some of the reports attributed the re- volt to monarchists, while others said it was purely military.

The accumulation Of selling

by resting orders to buy, and
prices rebounded a cent. Trade
slowed down after the opening

cause of the possibility of more
