DELE0ATE lS AFTER
 MORE FUNDS; BILL
 HAS pA5SED SENATE

The Senate has passed Delegate Bartletts bill which would render financial aid for public roads and public schools in Alaska from the sale and other monetary disposi- ton of public lands in the Terri tory.
 The measure, passed several weeks ago by the House, amends the Mineral Leasing Act so that 37 E percent of the money receiv- ed from sales, bonuses, royalties and rentals of public lands in Alaska will go to the support of public schools, for c-the construc- ton and maintenance of public roads or other public education institutions, as the Legislature may direct.
 The extension of this benefit to Alaska, insofar as STE percent of the money received is concerned, placed the Territory on a par with the States The balance of the receipts in connection with finan- cial disposition of public lands in the States is divided, 42i@ per cent going to the reclamation fund and the remainder being retained in the Treasury of the United States. Under Delegate Bartletts measure, the remainder of the in- come from leases in Alaska will be paid into the general funds of the United States until such time as the reclamation act may be eX- tended to the Territory.
 The senate, in passing the leg islation, amended it by reserving all money accruing from lands within the naval petroleum reserves for the federal treasury.
