ALASKA TRAIL. MEASURE HAS
 PASSED HOUSE
Delegate Dimond Secures Change in Provision
 on Expenditures

WASdINGTON--Special Core spcndsnce) The Department of Agriculture Appropriation Bill. which passed the House February 28, carries an appropriation for for est roads and trails in the United States and Alaska. The total ap- propriaticn is for $7,O82 600 com posed of $3,5o0,0Oo, the balance of the amount authorized to be appro- priated for the fiscal year 1886, and SS,532,6O0, part of the sum author ized to be appropriated for the fiscal year l937 It is likely that more than one-half of the total appro- priaticn will be assigned for forest development as distinct from forest roads and trails. With respect to Alaska, the bill contains the follow ing language. Provided further That during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1887, the expenditures on forest highways in Alaska from the amount herein appropriated shall not exceed S25O,O00." This is the same limitation that was contained in the bill passed last year but it is estimated that nevertheless there will be expended on forest roads and trails in Alaska during the fiscal year 1886, $688, ,787.33.
 As brought before the Committee the bill contained a provision limit in expenditures from all sources on forest highways in Alaska to s350,000. Upon learning of this Delegate Dimond appeared before the subcommittee and was able to convince the members that $35O .OO0 was entirely inadequate to carry on the road building program which had already been undertaken. Ac- cordingly, the subcommittee recom- mended and the whole Committee adopted, change in the language of the appropriation so as to limit expenditures from this appropria- ton only to $250,000, but put no limitation whatever upon expendi- lures from appropriations heretofore made. As nearly as can be deter mined at the present time under the bill as written there will be available for expenditure upon for est roads and trails in Alaska dur ing the fiscal year 1887, the follow ing:

Speaking on the subject "The Leg islative Needs of the Territory of Alaska" James s. Truitt, Attorney General, outlined briefly a program for territorial and national improve ment before the Juneau Womans Club no-host luncheon yesterday af- ternoon in Moder's Coffee Shoppe.
 The Attorney General was follow ed on the program by Mrs. A. w Chappell, prominent clubwoman oi Toledo, Ohio, who spoke interestingly of her club affiliations there.
 Program was in charge of Mrs E. R. Hermann. Chairman of the Legislative Committee.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-03-18

Judging by what has been done in the past, it is not likely that the Bureau of Public Roads will spend the entire amount available. Fur ther uncertainty as to the amount ava lable for expenditure arises from lack of information as to how must of the appropriation carried in the fiscal year 1887 bill will be used for forest development in distinc- tion to forest roads and trails. It seems probable, however, that suf- ficient money will be at hand for the Bureau of Public Roads and the Forest Service to carry forward a fair program of road building in the forest areas in Alaska during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1857.

licenses in North Carolina, gives the total
number of revocations to that date as T.

effect little more than year. In that brief
time more than seventy-three. hundred
drivers of motor vehicles have been de-
prived of their licenses. In an overwhelm-
ing majority of cases the charge leading
TO, revocation of license was driving
drunk" ....
The list OF license revocations made pub
lie on December 9TH contains "a names and
all of them with two exceptions for "driv-
mig drunk" .'.' a..
That is about the proportion Of drunken
driving charges in the entire list of more
than seven thousand cases in which action
has so far been taken
Reader, will you stop long enough to
allow the significance of this situation in
your State to sink into your consciousness?
Approximately seven thousand persons ar
rested and tried in one year, convicted and
deprived of the privilege of driving motor
vehicles on the streets and highways of
this State, because they were driving
drunk" and that fact made every one of
them a public menace to the peace and
