| Rep. Blodgett Reports State Bonding
I Plan is of ‘Utmost Importance’ In N.W.
Rep. Bob Blodgett gave a cofti
prehensive report to the NWA
Chamber Monday on-what he con
sidered to be the most important
bill passed by the Legislature this
past season.
He explained that the bonding
program to come before the people
for ratification at the next election
is for $30,000,000, for develoment
of the state, and is of utmost im
portance to Nome.
First — 1 Vi million is for a vo
cational school at Nome. “North
western Alaska is the greatest
storehouse of unskilled labor in
the state, and a potential of young
people who must've trained.”
Second — 23Vt million is for
ferries and roads, and 5 million
of this is for the Nome-Fairbanks
Road. If the federal administra
tion approves of Highway 97 on
the matching fund program, we
can be assured of a connection to
the rest of North America.
Third — 2Vfc millions for hos
pitals in the state.
Fourth — 8 millions for state
building construction, mostly in
Anchorage and Fairbanks, to off
set the high rentals now being
paid. ‘
“I’m proud to come home feeling
I did a good job,” stated Blodgett.
As for the next election — “I can’t
afford to run, and I can’t afford
not to run.”
Senator Bronson added to Rep.
Blodgett’s statement that it was a
good job, and'urged the Chamber
to back up the State Chamber and
urge the Governor to sign the
bonding issue.
Acting President Don Hoover
reported that the Chamber Board

has been working the past week
on four major projects of vital
importance to Nome and the sur
rounding .districts.
Mr. Blodgett explained how the
bonding bill originally was for
only $6,000,000 for state buildings
at Fairbanks and Anchorage, but
through big efforts was increased
and now includes projects badly
needed for all parts of the state.
1. More use of the local private
hospital by the Alaska Native
Health Service, urging that Nome
people be kept here instead of so
much money being spent on trans
portation for hospitalization that
require only a short period of
time.
2. Establishment of a local Land
Office, and return of documents in
that office to Nome from Fair
banks.
3. Vocational School, to aug
ment training of skilled labor.
4. Nome-Barrow air route di
rect, through Kotzebue, instead of
necessitating the long way ’round
through Fairbanks.
Bob Harwood of the Tourist
Committee reported the assurance
from reindeer herd owners that
they would be willing to assist in a
project of keeping reindeer near
Nome during the summer for a
tourist attraction.
The Alaska Methodist Fund
drive, which was delayed, will be
completed this week, states Bob
Reed, and pledge cards to assist
with the building of a dormitory
for out-of-town students are avail
able from Mr. Reed any day this
week.
