 FILL OFFICE

"Juneaus Famous Radio Com mentator, whom Rep Maurice Johnson identified as my good friend. Mrs. Mildred Hermann, was proposed this morning to fill the office of Liquor Administrator for Alaska, should that office be created by the passage of House Bill 51 The proposed amendment was voted down, however, 9-l5, while the lengthy measure to set up a liquor control system for the Territory was being considered by the House in second reading.
 The liquor control measure was the only one considered by the House this morning A motion by Rep. Ost to introduce an income tax bill, which he admitted was virtually the same bill that was defeated in the Senate, failed to receive the Is votes necessary to suspend the rules.
 Rep Wm. Egan asked that his bill 10 provide for a bounty on eagles be held in the House until after the Seth day before being transmitted to the Senate, as it could then be admitted under Joint Rule 28, which provides for the consideration of appropriation bills during the last four days of the session Rep. Engstrom asked the privilege for the bill to provide for a vocational training program.
 Rep. Maurice Johnson expressed at the lack of confi- dence in the merits of the bills indicated by these requests, and RCD. Egan withdrew his request.
 Rep Engstrom announced that she had already made arrange ments with the Committee on En- grossment and Enrolment 10 hold Ter bill until the specified time Speaker Oscar Gill and Rep. Mau- rice Johnson declared themselves at any such attempt to the rules, and Rep Barnett, chairman of the En- Committee, who has Leen praised for his efficient handling of the great volume of work handled by that committee, denied being a party to any such arrangements.

Plans for the repairs of the Men, denhall Loop road and portions of the Glacier Highway are tempor- arily being held in abeyance today pending the availability of addi- ticnaI Federal funds for road re- pairs in Alaska. This statement was made today by Chris Wyller, act ing District Engineer for the Pub lie Roads Administration in Ju- neau.
 Although bids had been requested previously and have already been approved by local officials, it was ret discovered until yesterday that funds for the project are not avail able at the present time.
 The R. J. Sommers Construction Co.,. who had entered successful low bid of S486.oc0 cn tie project, yesterday notified the Juneau Chamber of Commerce that the Portland office of the PRA has re- quested them to delay construction plans for one year. The project entails six miles of road and bridge repairs extenolng along the Gla- cier Highway from Duck Creek to Aux Bay and over the Mendenhall loop. Bids were opened on March ] and the Sommers Co., was an- nounced as the low bidder at that time
 The Chamber or Commerce yes- terday telegraphed Congressional Delegate E. L. Bartlett requesting his assistance in securing necessary funds required for the project. It was pointed out that no repairs have been made for several years, that the upper Mendenhall bridge is out making the loop road use less, and that the deterioration of the highway is due primarily to its heavy use by various vehicles of the Armed Forces and the Fed eIal Government during the war years.
 At the Chamber of Commerce regular meeting today, President Norman R. Banfield revealed that plans are underway to secure the introduction Of a Memorial in the Territorial Legislature which would ask the U. s. Government to allot to Alaska its full share Of PRA appropriations. The Chamber oi Commerce maintained that al such funds are being used for pro- jects of the various states but that needs Of the Territory are being ignored at the present time.
 The Memorial will also ask fol other necessary road repairs or other highways in Forest Service areas and will request the fulfill ment of present contracts. The lack of available funds also affects sore ly needed repairs for two roads near Ketchikan.
