FISH TRAPS
 SUBJECT OF
 KRUG LETTER

The fish trap matter, which some believed disposed of for this session with the passage of the Re- ferendum Bill. again popped up in both the House and Senate Satur- day morning with the reading of a letter from Secretary of the Inter- for to the Governor.
 The Krug letter, dated at Wash ington. D. C., on January 24 and sent here Air Mail, was incorporat- ed in the House Journal for Satur- day, as follows.
 My dear Governor;
 T have been considering your request to be advised of my con- clusions to the most appropriate means by which the operation Of fish traps in Alaskan waters can be regulated The Department, as you know, has been giving this prob lem much attention, All are agreed that some regulation in the norm of legislative, rather than admin istrative, action is desirable.
 One of the chief issues is whe- ther local or Federal legislation should be sought. have, after some hesitation, reached the conclusion that it would be desirable for the Legislature of Alaska to deal with the problem in the first instance. This conclusion is based upon the uniform tradition in our govern mental practice that Territory should control its fisheries; while the Congress has excepted the con- servation features of the salmon fisheries from this tradition, it is expressly left to the Territory the power to tax and to license in the fishing industry. If, therefore, the present session of the Territorial Legislature should consider legisla- ton in this field, would be will ing for you to indicate my agree ment with the premise that salmon trap regulation is proper subject for Territol ial Legislation.
 T should add that I consider early solution of this vexing prob- lem so important that, if the Ter ritorial Legislature should not take action at this session, this Depart ment will consider support of some Federal measure designed to regu- late trap-fishing. We shall, there fore, watch with considerable inter- est the steps taken by the Legis- lature.
 Sincerely,
 U. A. KRUG.
 Secretary of the Interior" Following the reading oI the iet- ter, Rep Maurice Johnson asked why when the letter was written g days previously and sent by Air Mail, 1t had not been presented to the Legislature at an earlier date. He received no answer and the matter was not pressed on the House floor
 Letter DiscusseG
 The Krug letter was the subject of some after djournment discus sion among the House members, some of whom expressed belief that another bill designed to regulate fish traps would soon make an ap- pearance. At least one Representa- tive thought the presenting of the letter at that time might presage veto of the Referendum Bill on the grounds that the original five year provision should have remain ed in it.
 The House received two new bills on Saturday H. B. 64, by Rep. Sni- der, would prohibit retailers adding the Veterans Tax to the sale price of goods, with the addition of the following section:
 "A retail seller of any article or commodity. including meals served ty restaurants and drinks by dis pensaries, shall not charge the tax to any purchaser, and shall not add

Juneau, Alaska, Sept. 29 Editor Alaska Daily Empire
 It was with more than usual interest that I read this evening your article on MT. Sundborg' par ticularly that part pertaining to MT. Sundhorg's residence in the Channel Apartments.
 In late May or early June ol this year accompanied my daughter, Mrs. William c. smith to the office of Mrs. Lucille Johnson. at the Channel Apart ments for the purpose Of making an application for one of the units therein
 At that time Mrs Johnson told Mrs Smith there were already so many applications for two bed room apartments it would be al- most useless to apply for one of those; however since the Smiths were expecting a third child in September they would be e'2gible or three bedroom apart ment and Mrs. Johnson suggested that Mrs. Smith apply for one with three bedrooms. Mrs. John son said that such an apartment would probably be vacated in Sep tember and would be the one the Smiths could plan on occupying
 Mrs. Smith inquired if tt would be advisable for her call at the office periodically to check if the apartment would be available and was assured that such a check was absolutely not necessary as appll- cations were honored only in the order of their receipt. However, Mrs. Johnson did request that in the event the Smiths should find suitable residence before the Chan nel Apartment was available that it would expedite the notification of the next applicant in line if Mrs. Smith would let her know she no longer cared for a Channel Apartment.
 The Smiths have been and still are planning on living in the apartment Mrs. Johnson promised them. Mrs. Smith is now in the hospital wit> the baby that was expected when she applied for a three bedroom apartment-at Mrs Johnsor's suggestion.
 William c. Smith is a veteran with more than five years service to his credit He is employed 2; the Support.
 All of these pertinent facts were noted on the application for the three bedroom apartment; yet they were never notified that ar apartment was available. I woulc like to know what became of that application. In view of these facts it doesn't seem to me that Mrs Johnson's excuse that no veter- ans were on the waiting list fol a three bedroom apartment when she permitted Sundborg to occupy one, is exactly bonafide.
 I think the Smiths as well as the many others whom you state have inquired how Sundborg wa able to horn in" on the Channe Apartments are entitled to an ex' planation from Mrs. Johnson a to why this application, from veteran with many years service was ignored in favor of a non. veteran.
 Respectfully yours,
 Mrs. Curtis H. Sherwood.
