Legislative Report
For Rotary

The Democrats were better
organized in the House at the
last Territorial session of the
Legislature and passed legis-
lation faster and smoother
than the Senate, Marshall
Crutcher, president of the
Bank of Kodiak, told the Ro-
tary Club Tuesday.
Crutcher was guest speaker
following the regular luncheon
of the club at the Montmartre
Inn.
He was selected chairman
of the legislative committee
of the Alaska Bankers AS
ISOLATION during it's last meet
ing and during the session
of the Territorial Legislature
he spent considerable time in
Juneau assisting the legisla-
tors rewrite the territorial
banking laws.
THE Senate was equally
divided between Republicans
and Democrats and most of
the measures coming before
that body received consider
able debate" Crutcher said.
He expected to remain in
Juneau for only a short time
but was forced to stay during
most of the session because of
the tremendous job of bring
ing the banking laws up to
date and writing amendments
to the old ones he said.
He explained that prior 10
the passage of new banking
legislation this year all of the
former banking laws had been
written from 1900 to 1910.
"The progress made by A
laskan banks during the past
few years made the old laws
out of date" Crutcher said.

Palmer Food Prices 36.9o,o Above Siaies' Average, Survey Shows

A month ago the Experiment Station released Alaska data in- dicating that grocery prices in the Territory had remained relatively stable during the 4-month period, May-September, 1851. This weeks release by Agricultural Economist Hugh Johnson sscws comparisons on food items between Alaskan cities and several locations in the States.
 Last February the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. De- partment of Labor made quick survey" of living costs in Anchor age and Fairbanks. This survey showed that food prices in An chorage were 37 percent higher than in Seattle. In Fairbanks they were 47 percent higher. These comparisons were the first to be made officially in the Territory by the Bureau since March 1945 The Bureau indicated that price differentials on food items had narrowed materially between Se- attle and Alaska during the l945- 51 period
 Food price information col lected by Johnson recently at the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station shows that these same re- lationships continue to exist. Bseed on q comparable food items for August 15, 1851, An chorage food prices were 35.07 percent above Seattle food prices on the same date. Palmer prices were 35.37 percent above, and Fairbanks prices were 4366 per cent greater than at Seattle.
 Although Seattle is considered to be a priced city in the States, it's average was one per- cent lower than existed in Wash ington, D. C., and only II percent above the average of 56 repre- sentative large cities. The rela- tionships existing on August 15' therefore, are about the same as the Bureau of Labor Statistics found last February.
 If the larger, more representa- tive base of the 56 large cities is used as 100 percent, Seattle is II percent and Washington, D. C., is "A percent higher than average Anchorage is 366 percent, Palmer 36.9 percent and Fairbanks 45.3 percent above average.

Taxpayers to Save
$500 as Council
Cuts Bond Issue

Rockville taxpayers saved 81 500
last week when the City Council
voted to reduce its projected $780,
600 bond issue to S165,000 The
$4,000 eliminated would have
paid for trunkline sewer connec-
tions between the City and the
sewer system of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
The $500 was interest saved on
the eliminated $4,000. A spokes-
man for the Town this week told
the Sentinel that the trunkline
sewer connections are not needed
at this time.
Council action was taken after
H. Warren Buckler, Baltimore
bond attorney with Niles, Barton,
Yost and Dankmeir, told the coun-
cilmen the bonds would have to be
advertised publicly. Maryland law,
he said, provides that bonds for
any non-construction project out
side the town limits must be adver-
tised. Previous bond issues for the
town have been fioated privately.
The new $685. bond issue will
be used to pay for sewer and wa
ter installations during the current
fiscal year for five new housing
developments.
