NO ACTION ON
RESIDENT COMM.
BILL THIS SESSION

According to Representa-
tive A. ]. SABBATH, the Resident
Commissioner Bill will not be
taken up during this session
of Congress.
After acknowledging Mr..
Totten's letter of inquiry about
the bill to provide for a resi-
dent commissioner for the Vir
gin Islands, Representative
SABBATH writes in part as fol-
lows, on August 7th.
Il regret to advise you that,
unfortunately no action will
be taken on legislation at this
session of Congress.
MAY | say that only mem
bers of the House and Senate
appear to testify on any pend
ing legislation before the Com
mittee on Rules, excepting
heads of departments and
then only upon a motion of a
Member of the Committee and
carried by a majority vote in
viting them to appear"
Commenting on Council
man Gordon's trip to Wash
ington, Mr.. Totten observed
that "the per diem voted to
send him to lobby Congress
for passage of this bill appears
to have been wasted unless
our legislature though profit
ing from a Democratic Adj
ministration saw fit to use
public funds to send the legis-
lator to attend the Republican
National Committee meeting"

AMENDED RATES.
fire INSURANCE,
RECEIVED HERE

Amended fire insurance rates on
many commercial properties in Ju-
reau and vicinity have been re-
ceived this week from the Pacific
Fire Rating Bureau by local in
surance agents, it was revealed to-
cay by Shattuck Agency.
Adjustments in rates are the re-
suit of scheduled filings made in
conformity with the insurance act
passed by the l947 Territorial Legis-
lature.
Full application of these sched-
ules was delayed until detailed in
spections could be made by repre-
sentatives of both the Pacific Fire
Rating Bureau and the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. These
were completed late in 1948.
Application OF the filed sched-
ules has resulted largely in minor
changes In many cases former
rates were not affected. The new
schedules do not affect residential
property other than apartment
houses, so individual residence
rates will not change.
