New Territorial Administrative
 Setup Proposed In Legislature;
 No Dogs or Investigating Comm.
by Jim Hutoheson

JUNEAU CAP Unless some- thing upsets the applecart----au0 appleearts are notoriously risky in Juneau----it looks as though the legislature Is on the way toward 1he u.st oFethauIing of the terri. torial financial administration.
 le eoa4 gentleman from Ken lucky, southern accent and all, to get you au2 started. Lawmakers voted unanimously Thursday TOT afaItins d DuI to revise the board Of adninIstl aClon, create what a- mounts to a financial general man ager lor the Territory, and set up a wholly independent auditing ol- nce as watchdog on administrative branches. The plan was outlined to d Jont session by II. Clyde Reeves. Kentucky revenue eommissIone. who was sent as consuItant by tho Council of State Governments.
 Ine.e stiu are probably some lights ahead over which legisiato.s will get spots on Che board ot aa- mlnistratlon with the governor, lu place Of elective officers. but leg lslators have agreed to the primer. pal. Under Reeves recommendations. the board would name the finance chief. An interesting angle will De to see what happens to the pre- sent treasurer and auditor in ths shuffle. Since Henry Roden was eI- ected for a four year term as trea- surer, he is a cinch for a position In whatever setup emerges. Legis- iators definitely want him becaust of his reputation and they say il. dleations are he favors some re yamping.
 Auditor Neil Moore is in a mor, delicate spot because he hasn't pee. -0nucmed as successor. to the Ia.s frauh Boyil. It Is no secret tina -nere is considerable Democ at. gppos4t.on to him even being con tlnued m the present office. Hois on to your seats; it may be inter esting.
 Both houses were really hittins the ball this week with a flow O. bills and hearings. Major contru- yersy III the Senate is over a bIal- ket time and half provision over forty hours. The bill by Carlson ai- ready has the house approval but a series of hearings is being hel5 on 1t in the Senate, with clash. ing opinions over whether it would apply to the fishing industry.
 No Investigating Committee
 The legislative Investigating com mittee bill, which caused such a long fight in the House, was tabled eleven to five in the Senate Thurs. day on grounds that if legislators were named to a board of admins tration under the revamping plan, an Investigating committee won.c be needed.

By Elec. Coop

Continued progress, t h GU g h
with an accompaniment of tenn
porary occasional inconvenience,
is being made by the G a C r
County Electric Cooperative in
its development program on the
Blackfeet Reservation.
Tuesday morning for several
hours power was off so that the
new line built between Brown

In its completion it will be
built into a substation east of
