Alaska RR May(arry Explosives 
Resolution Permittinq Resumption of Ship
 ments Passes Committee

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. S. RLA resolution to permit the Alaska Railroad to resume ship ments of explosives has passed the House Merchant Marine and Fish cries Committee, Delegate Bartlett -Alaska) reported today.
 Bartlett said in telegram to Larry Moore, Alaska manager for Associated General Contractors, the resolution would allow steam ship lines and the railroad to handle explosives through the Seward gate way until Feb. IS, 1852.
 The resolution was a reversal in attitude by the committee which previously had refused to act after the Coast Guard had invoked regu- lations which halted shipments of explosives, he said.
 J. P. Johnson, General Manager of the railroad, said about $1 ,000, ,000 year in revenue is involved in the shipments.
 Explosives have been trucked to Anchorage through Valdez since the Coast Guard regulations went into effect.
 In announcing cancellation. of a proposed 10 percent increase in railroad freight rates recently, John- son expressed the hope Washington authorities would cooperate in the railroads attempt to recapture the revenue from movement of the ex- plosives.
 Bartlett reported the resolution adopted by the committee requires the consent of local authorities. It was reported here Seward authori- ties already have taken action to consent handling explosives over Seward docks.

Script Certificates Plan for Submerged Oil Lands

WASHINGTON. Oct. = R - Secretary of the Interior Chapman says he plans to act soon on appli- cations to use old land script cer- tificates to acquire government owned submerged oil lands.
 Chapman told National Press Club audience. in response to a question, that the Interior Depart ment solicitor has prepared formal opinion on the applicability of the script,
 The almost forgotten government issued script has been in the lime light since E. L. Cord, Beverly Hills, Calf, millionaire and former auto mobile manufacturer submitted script certificates last February 5 as claims for 1882 acres of sub merged land in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast.
 The federal government issued various kinds of script, from the pioneer days to as recently as 1906. as compensation to Indians and earlier settlers for lands taken from them, and as sort of bonus for veterans of wars up through the Civil War.
 Most of the script has been re- deemed long ago. The Interior Department acknowledges that it does not know how much. is still outstanding and how much is still valid as claims against public lands. Last month some government land in Alaska was transferred to hold CTS of script which was originally granted to two Civil War veterans.

 Designs have been published in a brochure showing the type of ves- sels needed, the terminal facilities which would allow transferring of the loaded railroad cars on and off the boats, and warehouses have been planned.
 Local men say there are many points to P, clarified yet. and would make no conjectures about a date when the ferry service could begin.
 One Juneau man said, "The whole thing could very easily blow up right in our faces. And it is a serv- ice badly needed for the develop ment of the Territory"

It was learned today from re- liable sources that an express ferry boat service for southeast Alaska, with offices in Juneau, is in the ad- vanced stages of planning.
 Plans are being laid to relay huge amounts of freight through Prince Rupert (with connections to the Ca nadian National Railways) to Ket- chikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Thomas Bay, Juneau, Haines and Skagway. The ferries planned would carry railroad cars, loaded with pulp from the Ketchikan mill and other proposed pulp mills along the south east Alaskan coast, directly to the railhead at Prince Rupert. Plans are also laid to carry loaded van type trucks and automobiles to and from the various points.
 The company is known as the Alaska Ferry and Terminal Con- many, Inc, with offices in the D goth Century building. J. M. Hawthorne, former owner of the Juneau Laundrette, is President. Many local persons are said to be financially interested.
 Hawthorne is leaving for the states today, where he said inn pertant arrangements would be made which cosId be released upon his return.
 He said that definite arrange ments had already been made with one of the largest and most reput- able engineering firms in the United States-Knappen, Tippetts and Ab- bett, of New York and San Fran cisco-to make the necessary sur veys for the construction and costs of docks and port facilities in the various planned ports. This work will start about Oct. 15.
 Other sources say that Certifi- cate of Necessity for the project is pending with the US. Department of Commerce. This would imply , that government loan would be asked.
 According to previous published material in the Prince Rupert Daily News released by B. Frank Heint- zleman, regional forester, the pro ject is vitally tied up to a 800 to 6O0-ton newsprint plant for Alaska now being promoted among various publishers in the United States by Heintzleman.
 According to Heintzieman's re- port, the fast ferry service would be designed to haul railroad cars for newsprint loads, refrigerated vans, and large trucks from the states to connect with various southeast Alaska ports and with the Interior at Haines.
 Heintzleman says he has been in- terested in such a service ever since the Haines ferry was first consid- cred. Hawthorne has worked on the |. project for the past six years, he said. He worked on the original plans in connection with Col. John R. Moves, former commissioner of roads for Alaska.
 A. F. Ghiglioni. present commits sioner of roads, and George M Tapley. chief of the engineering di- vision of the road commission, both say that their office is interested in the possibilities of the project, but emphasized there is no official ; tie-up.
 Engineers of the Alaska road com- mission have worked with the Alaska Ferry and Terminal Com pany, but only in individual and

Banks Must Be Seated

Laurence H. Banks from Roxburys Ward should forth
with be given his seat in the City Council Legal to
prevent his seating have been carried to ridiculous and harm
full extremes
is almost two years since Mr. Banks elected to the
Council 1t year and half since the Superior Court de-
cded that Mr. Banks had been wrongly declared the loser
the election after number of ballots had been tamp
cred with by election official It is four months since the
State Supreme Court upheld the Superior Court declaring
Banks the winner
Still Daniel F Sullivan the Mr. Banks defeated
at the polls sits in Mr. Banks seat in the Council and draws
the $4,000 salary of City Councilman And and goes
Mr. Suvans efforts to void the verdcts of voters of Ward
g. of the Superior Court and Of the Supreme Court
The point of the Banks is not that Mr. Banks is
Republican Nor it that he is colored the first member
of his race to be elected to the Council under the present
charter The point is that duly elected representative OF
the people of Ward 8 has been deprived Of his seat
Mr. Sullivan apparently dosn't know when he's licked
What ought realize that the people of Boston like
game loser just as well winner Mr.. Sullivan ought to
bow out just as gracefully as he can manage
But the last chapter in the Banks is not over when
he takes his rghtfu seat in the cys legislature How about
those votes that were tampered with? Is District Attorney
Foley going let the who tried to perver the will of
the Ward electorate get away with it?
