ALASKA COSTS BILL WELL OVER
 THREE MILLION
$4O0,000 Recommended by Committee for Roads,
 Trails, Landing Fields
SCHOOL BUS ITEM
 UNDER QUESTION
Slashes Suggested for Re quests Made by Uni
 versity of Alaska

With a recommended boost of from $200,000 to $400000 for roads, bridges. trails and landing fields. the Ways and Means committee of the Territorial House, of which Ed Coffey of the Third is chairman, reported the general appropriations bill into the House this afternoon and that body immediately resolved itself into committee of the whole to consider the items. It was ex- pected to take most of the after noon.
 Under the rules, the appropria- tions bill should go to the Senate today, but it was indicated that if the House could not finish work on it, the Senate probably would &C., cept it under suspension of the rules In 1881 the bill was late in arriving in the Senate and refused, with the result that appropriations had to be made on the basis of the 1928 appropriations.
 As reported from committee, the bill has only a limited number of changes from the recommendation of the Budget Board which totaled $3,027, $50 for the biennium.
 Estimated New Revenue
 The committee estimated that revenue from mines under the new gold tax bill would raise $750,000 for the ensuing biennium, or virtually double the $38O, ,00O of the last two years, and that revenue from liquor if the Rivers bill passes, would be approximately $10O,000.
 In addition to the increase sug- gested for roads, the committee recommended $7.200 additional to the Commissioner of Mines for em- ployment of an additional man. The previous recommendation for this department had been $32,400. A figure of $5,OO0 was added by the committee to the $164,880 for the Pioneers Home to be used for clearing additional burial grounds
 SOCIAL CccuTity
 The amount for old age pensions was left at $400,00O, dependent chil- dren at $44,0O0 and allowances to mothers at $66,O00, all of which are expected to be worked in under the Social Security set-up. An item of $5O,O00 was trimmed from relief of destitution, and $100,0oO was pro- vided by the committee for the relief of needy and indigent, both items which probably will be ab- sorbed by Social Security.
 An item of $10,0o0 is appropriated for primary election but this pro- bably will be doubled if the Lich- tenberg bill to increase the pay o1 election judges and clerks is finally passed.
 The wolf and coyote bounty stands at $80,00O and probably vii remain at that figure if the bil which has passed the Senate to cut the bounty from $20 to $l5 is ap. proved.
