Alaska railroad bills gain momentum in Senate committee
Washington May 30 The senate committee on territories will take up Alaska railroad bills with many predicting enactment before the tariff measure. President Wilson and Interior Secretary Lane back government owned Alaska railroads as the Alaska railway bill aims to issue 40 million dollars in bonds amortised by a redemption fund from receipts. The committee also seeks route determination by the Alaska railway commission and signals swift action in the present special session. Leaders in the house pledge support to open up Alaska.
