A.D.B. Asks Restoration
Of Barrow Petroleum
Reserve to Public Domain
JUNEAU — Restoration of the
49 million-acre Naval Petroleum
Reserve of northern Alaska to the
public domain has been proposed
by the Alaska Development Board
in the wake of the Navy’s de
cision, announced last week, to
discontinue oil explorations in the
area.
The Development Board, in a
letter to Secretary of the Navy
Robert B. Anderson, stated that
interest in Alaska’s petroleum
production possibilities is such
that it is likely development in
the area would be carried forward
by private enterprise if the gov
ernment reservation should be re
voked.
The Board also requested that
data from the Navy’s oil investi
gations of the past nine years be
made available to the public and
that permission toe granted to
pipe natural gas to Fairbanks
from the Umiat area where it is
understood to have been discov
ered in quantity.
“That natural gas,” the Board
wrote, “may have sufficient value
for industrial and domestic heat
ing purposes to justify construc
tion of a pipeline to Fairbanks.
Our Board has done some prelim
inary work on such a proposal . . .
Development of natural gas would
give considerable impetus to the
economy of Interior Alaska and
by so doing would, we feel,
strengthen this vital area from a
security standpoint.”
Naval Petroleum Reserve No.
4 alone contains more than half
of the 94 million acres of land
reserved by the Federal Govern
ment in Alaska.
Among many primitive tribes,
women are able to carry heavier
loads and carry them farther than
men. j
