AUTO REQUEST
BRINGS UP DARK
FINANCE PICTURE

As far as Safety-Service Director
Walter Wagsoner is concerned,
there seems to be no end TO fhe
city's financial woes,
Mr.. Waggoner was on the re-
ceiving end of his first shock Tues
day night when he solicited Coun-
ciPs approval for funds to buy
new police cruiser.
Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, deputy
city auditor, supplied dishearten-
ing report that the maintenance of
equipment account was exhausted
and "some bills are outstanding"
"In fact" said Mrs. Carter,
"we've never had an appropriation
in the budget for a cruiser"
The one-two punch came when
Mr.. Waggoner asked approval of
$783.61 in city park bills and was
again told by the deputy auditor
that that particular fund had
dwindled to nothing.
Mrs. Carter took the occasion to
issue stiff fiscal warning: 81 don't
know how you're going to get
along next year. It's going to be
rough"
Treasurer George Tewers Chin
ed in with ''you boys are going to
have to sit tight = there are more
projects going than we have
money"
Upshot of it all was that Council
authorized Mr.. Waggoner to get
bids for replacing the 13-month
cruiser. well hunt for the money

JUNEAU, R-The House Mon day passed 1924 the long-dis- cussed bill to reorganize the terri tory's financial, accounting and purchasing systems. It would ere ate new powerful post of direct or of finance who, observers said, would have more authority than any one official has ever had be- fore in Alaska.
 The bill provides for the legis- lature to choose an accountant to do the actual auditing of territor- ial agencies. He would be respon- sible directly to the legislature and would be chosen by legisla- tive leaders.
 The preamble to the act says it's purpose lis to provide uniform financial procedures" and ito re- wise financial procedures for the purpose of securing economy, ef- ficiency and integrity in handling public monies"
 Before passing the accounting and purchasing reorganization bill the Democratic House inserted a controversial provision to abolish the office of territorial auditor. It is an elective position in which Neil Moore is now serving four year term.
 Democratic speakers empha- sized their action did not involve personalities-in other words, 1t

Refugees Harass Officials For Permission to Return To Threatened Homes

PAHOA, Hawaii, LR-Six hun dred refugees badgered officials Tuesday for permission to return to their homes in the devastated Puma Peninsula as weeklong VOL canic eruptions simmered down to mild bubbling action.
 Earth tremors moderated. Lava fountains which had shot to a breathtaking 1000 feet, were just bubbling, with an occasional half hearted 50-foot spout
 Volcanologist Gordon A. Mac Donald urged the refugees to wait. He warned new eruptions "are still possible. I don't know when it will be safe"

House Passes Bill to Reorganize
 Financial and Accounting Systems

was not aimed at aboIshing the office because of it's present occu- pant, who frequently has been at odds with the Democratic major ity.
 Speaker of the House Wendell Kay CD-Anchorage) even went so far as to say that he would vote to abolish the office if it were held by his best friend, because under the proposed changes there would be nothing of importance left for the auditor to do.
 The vote on the amendment to eliminate the auditor was ap- proved 22-1, with Rep. Joe Me Lean R-JuneaW casting the lone vote against.
 The bill now goes back to the Senate which had approved it virtually as it came from the Leg islative Council. The council drew it up to revise procedures but not to upset the established system of territorial offices.
 In speaking in mild opposition to the amendment to abolish the elective auditor, Mclean ques- toned the wisdom of losing to some extent the popular control in our government offices"
 Kay argued that the auditors job is primarily one of bookkeep- ing anyhow and is not of admin istrative rank.
 1t would be silly to continue the office of auditor under this bill" he declared. He added that that he didn't think the proposal would even be subject to much argument if it were not for per- sonalities involved.
 Kay and Richard Greuel D- Fairbanks) said the reorganization plan, while adding new positions Of controller and budget officer under the finance director, was expected to bring substantial sav- ings in territorial administration
 Greuel said the bill actually will give more authority to the governor, a Republican, which he said showed the nonpartisan ap- proach to the bill. The governor would appoint the finance direct or, who would be a czar over fis- cal operations. The appointment would be subject to confirmation by the legislature.

Mckay Says Our Survival Depends On Resources

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of Interior Mckay said Tuesday tour very survival as a civiliza- tipn may be said to hinge upon the future adequacy of our natur- al resources"
 In his departments report to Congress for the year ended last June 30, Mckay noted that such natural resources as minerals, oil, gas and coal do not renew them selves, as water does, and land loses its productivity unless sound conservation is practiced.
 Inherent in the concept of con- serVation is concern for the fu- ture," he continued. Our resourc- es are not inexhaustible"
 ITO the maximum extent posSi- ble all of the Interior Depart ment's many and varied activities have been directed to contribut- ing to the conservation and devel- Opment of the nations resources so that they will serve the needs of future generations. :"
 Reiterating the departments position that resources develop ment should be a mutual under taking, Mckay said:
 "The primary role in the devel- opment of the nations resources has always been assumed by pri- vate individuals rather than by the government. That has been the historic American way"
