Yough Dam May Cost
$1,000 OOMore Than
Government Estimate
Government Cannot Buy Rail-
road or Coal Mines With
Flood Control Money

Because of a technicality prohibit
ing the use of moneys appropriated
by the Federal Government for flood
control to purchase a $4,000 coal
mine it will cost approximately ST.
100000 to relocate a railroad line at
the Youghiogheny river flood-control
dam site near Somerfield, Pa.
The railroad which figures in this
unusual situation is the Confluence &
Oakland line, wholly-owned subsid-
larry of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company. The mine is owned by the
Mccullough Mining Company.
Water backed up by the Youghio-
gheny dam, which will control the
drainage from an area of 435 square
miles, will cover the present tracks of
the railroad, making either abandon
ment or relocation necessary.
The B. & O., according to govern
ment spokesman, agreed to sell the
railroad for $33O,OO0.
At a recent hearing in Cumberland
an examiner for the interstate COM
merce commission ruled that the gov
eminent could not buy the railroad
and abandon it. The reason given by
the examiner was that three trains
week are operated over the line to
haul coal from the Mccullough mine.
In the face of this ruling army en-
gineers in charge of the project con-
tacted the mining company to deter
mine whether they would sell the
mine. They learned, according to tes-
timony, that the mine could be pur-
chased for $75,0O0
Then it developed that flood con-
troll funds cannot be spent for the
purchase Of coal mines and railroads,
although they may be used to relocate
railroads.
The ICC examiner held that the only
recourse left to the government was
to relocate the Confluence-O Oakland
line, which the engineers estimate
would cost $2,250,000 as compared
with a total of $450,000 for the pur-
chase of both raiload and mine. If
relocated, the railroad might be
brought up the river grade to Oak
land.
An appeal from the examiners
ruling was filed with the ICC, which
plans to hear arguments in the case.
Attorneys for the coal company, it is
understood, contend that railroad SER

 BILL PASSED
 BY SENATE
Vote 5-3 on Controversial Measure-TWo Bills
 Are Killed

The bill of Senator N. R. tDoc) Walker of Ketchikan for establish ment of a Territorial Department of Labor passed the Senate this morning by a vote of five to three, with Senators O. D. Cochran, Leroy Sullivan and c. + (Alabam) LaBoyteaux opposing.
 The bill carries an appropriation of $20,0o0 There was no debate on it today, all phases of the measure having been gone into carefully during second reading. Senator Cochran made a brief statement saying he opposed the bill because all it seeks to accomplish is al- ready covered by existing statute through the office of the Commis- sioner of Mines.
 Two Bills Killed
 Two bills authored by Rep Har- vey J. Smith of Anchorage, met sudden death in the seISte today when his measure to tax coin-op- erated amusement devices $15 per year was defeated five to three and his appropriation of 5000 to equip the Seldovia Hospital was indefi- nitely postponed by the same vote.
 The "juke box bill was not even discussed before it was voted down. Senator Walker said proponents of the Seldovia Hospital had promised the Legislature two years ago that the $2G,000 appropriation sought then would be sufficient to complete and equip the institution. Senator

SCHOOL LOSES TO FOUNDRY

Douglas High School was elimi- mated as a contender for the towns basketball championship in the third of a three game series with the Treadwell Foundry at the gym last night when the Iron workers emerg- ed on the long end of 24 to 21 score after being practically beaten at half time.
 Leading during the first quarter 4 to the heavier team fell behind during the next period to the tune of II to Is as the younger lads speeded up. Then, with a too-easy victory in sight the Husky second string was allowed to take up the battle for good old Douglas High, and that proved a break for their opponents. Guerin, with points, was high man for the Foundry as was H. Cashen for the school with s points.
 In the second game of the double header, the schools second team won an easy victory over the local ANB team, score 36 to 12.

Cochran argued that. the Legislature is expressly prohibited by the or ganic act from making such appro- priations. A move by him to hold the bill in second reading for the purpose of obtaining an opinion from the Attorney General as to its legality was voted down five to three.
 Legality Questions
 Cochran made the same argument on bill to pay $500 claim of the Northern Commercial Company for a diesel plant for the Griffin Mem rial Hospital at Kodiak, but the bill passed, six to one, with President Henry Roden; who is Attorney Gen. eral-elect, asking to be exused from voting.
 q don't think we should forever go on making appropriations we have no legal authority to make Coch- ran said. There is no more excuse for the Legislature to violate the law than for any citizen to violate the law"
 Two Bills Stalled
 Two other House measures were held up after discussion. A move by Senator Walker to indefinitely post pone the bill of Rep. James V. Davis requiring the Territorial Department of Health to pay for medical exam nations was defeated four to four. Walker then found support for an amendment to allow the person talk in~ the examination to choose his own doctor rather than have the De- partment designate one.
 Opposing the bill and the Health Department generally, Senat IT Cochran said: T find that the airs full of Department of Health em- ployees flying all over the Terri tory. don't see why they can't make examinations themselves"
 The bill was finally continued in second reading.
 Rep. Leo Rogge's bill to require citizenship of all applicants to-prac- tice medicine was sent back to the Judiciary Committee for redraft- ing after Senators Sullivan, Cof- fey and Roden contended that as written and passed by the House the bill would repeal all the rest of the section dealing with exami- ing medical practitioners.
 Declaring that the rest of the law would "go by the board if the bill was adopted as drawn, Roden said the Judiciary Commit tee would rewfite the bill proper ly in line and a half.'
 Liquor Bills
 Two bills amending the local op- tion law were introduced today, one in the Senate by Cochran and one in the House by Rep. Harvey Smith. Cochran's would allow elections up- cn petition of g percent of the voters of a town, with the majority vote to prevail Smiths would make 50 percent of voters petition, but ma jority would prevail. The existing law requires that two thirds of the votes must favor closure for it to become effective.
 One other liquor bill by Smith al- lowing dispensaries to sell drinks for consumption off the premises, was introduced today.
