 TEMPORARILY
 AT KETCHIKAN
Dimond Notifies Chamber Coast Guard Establish
 ed in First City

Alaska Coast Guard headquarters have been established temporarily in Ketchikan because there is more adequate space at reasonable rental available" than in Juneau, where permanent headquarters were or dered established, Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has notified the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 Reports from Ketchikan are that free quarters were offered there for Commander w. K. Thompson, newly appointed head of the Alaska Di- vision.
 Dimond's telegram is in reply to one from a special committee of the Chamber, appointed last week to present Juneau's case to officials at Washington. A message stating that quarters in the Baranof Hotel are available has also been sent to the Coast Guard Commandant at Washington.

Is This Diversion?

Some days ago legislative committee heard discussion of bill that would dis penSe some of the funds raised by the gas- oline tax in Connecticut to the 169 towns. Such funds would be used for highway improvement in these towns. The bill was opposed, as all such diversion plans are and perhaps should be, but some of the arguments weren't logical. For example, it was claimed that to use the gasoline tax r17-1ey for improving roads in cities and towns would defeat the purpose of the tax. Quite the contrary is true, of course.
 Gasoline taxes are raised to help the state build better roads and to maintain it's present ones. Strangely the tax is raised by motorists who drive more miles over city streets and roads than they do over state highways. And if the improve ment of these same roadways isn't charge able to the gasoline tax it certainly shouldn't be charged to tax on mans house or lot The city or town raises the funds with which it finances construction of new streets either from current rev. enue or by floating bonds. It isn't given any gasoline tax money save for the an- nual $17,000 dirt-road fund.
 How anyone can say that diversion of gasoline taxes to cities and towns to help build their streets is diversion from the purpose intended is more than we can understand. For years we have been fight ing for the day when every city and town may get proportional return on the amount of gasoline taxes, motor law vio- lation fines, etc., that go entirely to the state. Maybe such diversion would cause radical changes in administration of our roads, but at least the towns and cities would be getting fair return for the wear and tear on pavements.

Issue Up Again

If it wasn't bad enough to have the leg islative group conferring on the dual job-holding bill deadlocked, now comes the news that one of Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn's staff in the Waterbury conspiracy trial has been laid low by an appendix op- eration. This places the brunt of the prose- cution work on MT. Alcorn and his son, Hugh M. Jr. The connection with the Legislature lies in the fact that MT. AL corn, Jr., is Majority Leader in the House, which holds sessions at Hartford on the same days that the conspiracy trial is holding forth in Waterbury.
 Atty. Harold E. Mitchell, who is now re- cuperating from the operation, is also member of the House. The question that probably is uppermost now in good many peoples minds is just how one can be prosecutor and legislator at one up in the House, when complaint was made that Majority Leader Alcorn was negIecting his duties in this capacity and also as chairman of the Judiciary Con- mittee, an arrangement was worked out whereby MT. Alcorn was in Hartford one day and Waterbury the next. When he was in Hartford Mr. Mitchell was in Wa terbury.
 We still maintain, as we did some weeks ago and with no intention of per- sonal criticism that the two jobs can't be engaged in simultaneously. One of the other gains in importance with the con- sequent loss of attention to the other. The dual job-holding bill is supposed to pre- vent just such conflict in duties and certainly the situation is proof enough for bill to De framed to care for repeti- tions Those conferees need only study the Waterbury trial case now to see which way they should move in their report to the General Assembly.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-20

Despite an earnest plea of establish ment of dog race-track in Faireld coun- ty by former district attorney of Mas sau county, N. Y, Martin G. Littleton, it can be stated on pretty good authority that therell be no bills sent into either the Senate or House in the near future approving such measure. Attorney Lit tleton appeared at Capitol hearing last week to support the bill allowing such track to be operated down in the vicin- ity of Greenwich or Stamford. He said that New York syndicate would operate the track and the name of Winston Guest, internationally-known polo star, was linked with it. This, apparently, was the only organized effort to get Connecticut sanction of pari-mutuel betting at race tracks, all the others being the sporadic efforts that crop up every time the Gen. eral Assembly convenes. We don't SUD- pose, even if the bill went through, that the governor would approve it, for ex- Governor Cross turned down a horSe-track bill some years ago.
