For Public Works
Funds for Alaska
From the Office of the Governor '
JUNEAU—Governor B. Frank
Heintzleman advised his office in
Juneau today that William C.
Strand, director of the Office of
Territories, has urged members
of the Senate Appropriations
Committee to approve the five
million dollars requested for the
public works program in Alaska
for 1955.
Strand appeared before the
Senate group with othe represen
tatives of the Office of Territories
and advised the subcommittee
members that the principal cities
in Alaska are having a difficult
time in trying to keep abreast of
the rapid growth in the last ten
years.
The senators were advised that'
the cities and villages are doing
everything possible in the way of
providing facilities to take care
of their present needs.
Strand emphasized that these
smaller communities need schools
sewers and streets to assist in
their future development.
The Alaskan communities and
other public bodies benefiting un
der the public works program are
required to finance 50 percent of
the costs of all projects under
taken. In reply to questions by
the committee, Strand said all of
the communities have met their
financial obligations in the public
works program.
