Gov. Egan's State of State Message
Covers a Seore or More of Subjects
By Ward T. Sims
Associated Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU tP — Gov. William A.
Egan told the 1961 Legislature he
intends to ask for approval of
legislation broadening the State’s
Employment Security Program.
In his State of the State Mes
sage, Egan said he will ask that
the maximum weekly amount
payable under the jobless bene
fit program be increased from
$45 to $50.
He also said he will ask that
the maximum duration of bene
fits an unemployed worker can
receive be increased from 26 to
28 weeks and that employment
security coverage be extended to
state employes.
In a 28-page message which
dealt with a score or more sub
jects, the state’s chief executive
also said he planned to ask for
legislation which would:
1. Make revisions in the elec
tion code approved by the last
Legislature.
2. Increase teachers’ salaries.
“A reasonable salary base is a
prime need if we are to attract
and retain qualified instructors
for our schools.”
3. Establish a Borough System
in Alaska.
4. Provide for the issuance of
revenue bonds to finance im
provements at Fairbanks and An
chorage International Airports.
5. Boost the salaries of state
employes.
Egan said the Borough Bill will
“seek the most in local govern- 1
ment for unban, suburban and1
rural areas.”
“It requires local initiative for
incorporation of organized bor
oughs; it requires the adoption
of standards for incorporation;
it provides that the people shall
have the final voice in deciding
whether an organized borough
will be formed.
“Under this bill borough as
semblies are given many options
to permit each area’s operating
in the manner which best suits its
own conditions . . .
“The bill establishes a single
unorganized borough consisting of
all areas of the state that are
not included within organized
boroughs . .
The governor urged the Legis
lature to endorse the $23 million
State Ferry System bond issue
approved by the voters last Nov.
because “it would be wholly
contradictory for this Legislature
to act in the furtherance of tour
ism without affirmative action on
the Marine Highway System.”
Egan urged the Legislature,
too, to provide for full Alaska
participation in the Century 21
Exposition to be held in Seattle
next year. He said the staff and
buildings would cost approxi
mately $400,000.
He said, however, that he will
not include money for Century
21 in his Budget Message, to be
submitted tomorrow, “the de
cision must be yours.”
“. . . I would be less than real
istic and less than frank if I
were to suggest that the projected
highway program might be pur
sued on a continuing basis with
out additional taxes, or that
teachers’ salaries might be raised,
tourism better promoted or Cen
tury 21 undertaken without pro
vision for increased income . . .
“That new revenues are need
ed need not be cause for dispair.
Nor does it bear out the statements
of those former opponents of
Statehood who questioned Alaska’s
ability to support the programs
i of State Government.”

JUNEAU I#) — The Democratic
controlled State Senate, in a sur
prising move. Monday named

McNees Introduces Bill to
Pi ivide Road From
Livengood to Nome
JUNEAU W) — A joint resolu
tion providing for construction of
a road from Livengood to Nome
was introduced in the State Sen
ate Tuesday by Sen. John Mc
Nees.
The Resolution, SJR5, seeks to
implement voter approval of the
$23 million Ferry Bond Issue
submitted to them last Nov. 8.
Under McNees’ proposal, $15
million would be used for ferries
and ferry approaches in Southeast
Alaska, linking all towns of 2,000
persons or more.
Ferry service to Kodiak would
be provided by $3 million of the
bond money.
The remaining $5 million would
be used for the Nome Road.
McNees said the present Fair
banks-Livengood Road, under his
plan, would be extended to a
crossing of the Tanana River at
Manley Hot Springs.
The proposed road would then
follow the south shores of the
Tanana and Yukon Rivers to
Ruby, where a ferry crossing
would be established, carrying
traffic to the north shore of the
Yukon.
From Ruby Crossing, the road
would carry almost due west to
Shelton, north of Nome. The Ko
yukuk River would be 'bridged
just north of its confluence with
the Yukon.
McNees said the proposed road
would open up Koyukuk oil ex
ploration areas and pave the way
for access to the McGrath Dis
trict.
