 Anchorage Jail
 An additional $84,000 for the proposed new federal jail at An chorage is expected to be re- quested from Congress in a sup plemental appropriation, accord ing to information given Delegate Bartlett by Bureau of Prisons of- ficialS.
 The Bureau of Prisons during the last session of Congress sub- mitted a request for $950000 to replace the existing jail by the construction of a modern 50-in- mate capacity jail on site to be furnished free by the city How ever, Congress appropriated S400,- 900 with the stipulation that none of the money was to be obligated until revised plans had been sub- mitted to and approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.
 After a study of the matter the Bureau of Prisons decided to To- cate the new building on the grounds of the federal building, thus eliminating a separate heat ing system as the heating facili- ties of the federal building could be utilized. In addition, it is un- derstood, the plans have been re- vised to reduce the capacity of the proposed new jail from 50 to 43 inmates, with elimination of the planned basement except for a small space for utilities ad- junctS. In working out revised plans, the Bureau of Prisons has estimated that an additional $84,000 above the $400,000 appro- priated will be necessary as the minimum for which we can hope to construct the first unit re- quired to meet present demands at Anchorage

Freight Rates

Freight Rates
 Delegate Bartlett has been in- formed by the Federal Maritime Board that the Alaska Steamship Company and Coastwise Line have filed amendments to ther frcigh tariffs seeking a 20 percent increase to freight rates now ap- plying in the Alaska trade
 The rates were filed Co become } effective March 1 Of this wear Amendments 10 Fisheries and
 Game Laws
 Delegate Bartlett introduced two bills in the House this WeeE seeking to amend the AIaska Fisheries Act and the Alaska Game Law
 The legislation providing for amendment of the Alaska Fisn- cries Act would place into effect law enforcement procedures slmi- lar to measures now operating in enforcing the Alaska game laws. The bill would eliminate court action in acquiring title by the government to fish or fishing equipment when Viol u n against the Alaska Fisheries Act are committed if the equipment andIor fish are released volun- tarily. The bill further provides that 1t would be unlawful for any person knowingly to possess or transport fish. At the present time only the person catching the fish in violation of the fisheries law is liable. The third provision of the bill would designate any employee of the Fish and Wild life Service as a peace officer if designated by the Secretary of the Interior with the same pow CTS of arrest of persons and sci zure of property for any violation of the fisheries law as have Uni ted States Marshals or employees of the Fish and Wildlife Service designated to enforce the Alaska Game Law.
 The bill dropped in the hopper by Delegate Bartlett in connec- tion with the Alaska Game Law has two purposes. The first would continue the ban against the appointment of federal or ter ritorial employees as members of the Alaska Game Commission but adds the words insofar as practicable" The law would con- tinue to require five years resi- dence in Alaska before appoint ment with no more than one resi- dent of a judicial division serv- ing on the Commission at one time. The second amendment sought would make available 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of game licenses and permits to be used in maintaining an edu~ cation program for Wildlife con- servation in the Territory with the remaining 50 percent to con- tinue to go to the Territory for school purposes. At the present time 50 percent of the proceeds
