Boundary Comm.
Proposed For
State Boroughs
JUNEAU, UPi — Legislation has
been proposed to set up a boun
dary commission to iron out dis
putes that might crop up under
the new state’s proposed borough
system of government.
A five - member commission
would 'be created, one appointed
by the Governor from each of
the four major election districts
and one from the state at large.
The latter would be chairman.
Under terms of the bill intro
duced in the lower branch yester
day, one of the commission’s main
jobes would be to propose changes
in the boundaries between local
government units, if ones were
asked.
Such changes would be sub
mitted to the Legislature the first
10 days of its regular session and
the Legislature would have to act
on them within 45 days, or they
would become effective anyway.
On the Senate front, two bills
dealing with local government
matters were both killed yester
day, the first of the session to be
defeated on final passage.
One of the bills, defeated 13-4.
would have established unorgan
ized boroughs, each with four su
pervisors, to collect information
on problems outside of major met
ropolitan areas. Opponents ar
gued the proposed boundary com
mission ^should handle such mat
ters at first.
The other would have provided
for election wards in cities with
populations over 5,000. It was de
feated 10-7 after opponents ar
gued that enactment of the ward
system would interfere with home
rule provisions of the constitution.
As to the Governor’s salary,
there was still no report from
the House-Senate conference com
mittee considering a bill to set
the pay of the chief executive and
the Secretary of State. The Sen
ate wants it to be $25,000; the
House, $24,000.

Appropriations for
Budget Arrears
Occupy Solons
JUNEAU, UP) — Appropriations
to cover deficiencies in operations
since the Alaska budget was ap
proved two years ago have taken
up a major portion of the first
state Legislature’s time.
A check made Monday as the
Legislature neared its 30th day
showed bills calling for appropria
tions of $1,909,748 have been in
troduced. Some of the funds have
been requested for future state
projects including a $90,000 re
quest for funds to compile, anno
tate and index the new state laws.
The biggest single deficiency
request was introduced in the
House Monday. It calls for appro
priation of $550,000 as the state’s
share of local schol support dur
ing the biennium ending June 30.
The funds would aid schools with
in incorporated districts. Almost
12 million dollars was appropri
ated by the 1957 Territorial Legis
lature for this purpose.
The latest request raised to
nearly two million dollars the
total of dificiency requests made
to cover educational costs during
the last two years. A $440,000 ap
propriation to cover state support
for local school bus transportation
already has been enacted.
Since the Legislature convened
January 26, a total of $883,377 in
appropriations has been enacted
into law. More than one million
dollars additional would be appro
priated under terms of bills still
under consideration.
Not included are funds for the
state’s operations for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. An appro
priation bill for the annual bud
get is expected to be introduced
later in the session.
Prior to statehood the 30th day
of the Legislature, reached yes
terday, would have marked the
midway point of the session. Ter
ritorial sessions were limited to
60 days. However, there is no
limit to the session under state
! hood. Some lawmakers are talk
I ing of adjournment after about
I 70 days, if there is no fall meeting.

Rail, Highway Commission
Needs Appropriation for
: Completion of Research
WASHINGTON, UP> — A $200,
000 appropriation is needed to
complete research work of the
Alaska International Rail and
Highway Commission, its chair
man told a House subcommittee
Tuesday.
Senator Warren Magnuson <D
Wash' asked for the money in -ap
pearing before the House subcom
mittee on supplemental appropria
tions.
The primary work of the com
mission, Magnuson said, is a ma
jor research task to determine the
location, extent and availability of
underdeveloped resources depen
dent upon transportation for their
exploitation.
The sooner money is appropri
ated the earlier the job can be
completed, Magnuson told the
subcommittee. He added:
“Unfortunately the bonanza of
the Klondike does not fairly rep
resent Alaska's mineral wealth.
Natural resources of Alaska are
the basic industrial raw materials
which are valued in terms of cents
per ton, rather than in dollars
per ounce.”
If Alaska is to have a healthy
economy, he said, it must have
the transportation facilities to
exploit her resources.
