Full Responsibility for Mentally 111
Goes to Territory on July I
J *
JUNEAU, UP—Alaska takes full
responsibility of its mentally ill
on July 1.
The mental health commitment
bill passed by the 1957 Legisla
ture, enacting procedures for the
care of mentally ill in the terri •
torv, was ordered placed in force
on that date.
The order came in a proclama
tion issued by Waino E. Hen
drickson, secretary of Alaska, as
acting governor during the ab
sence of Gov. Michael Stepovich.
The proclamation carried out
provisions of the Alaska mental
health enabling act passed by
Congress last year.
The mental health law which
becomes effective the first of next
month was considered one of the
major pieces of legislation en
acted by the 23rd lawmaking ses
sion.
Old procedures which called for
commitment only after judicial
determination of insanity will be
replaced for the most part by
medical findings of mental health
treatment needs.
Alaska will continue sending
mental patients to the states for
hospital treatment, until comple
tion of a construction program
within the territory.
The U.S. Public Health Service
last month approved the con
struction program, which calls for
a $6,161,600 main hospital at An
chorage and other treatment cen
ters at some of the 17 present
general hospitals in Alaska.

struction Co. for the summer and
will be used for equipment and
supplies.
The APW has written the city
inquiring on the status of devel
opments toward the water and
sewerage system. Discussion at
the City Council meeting revealed
that the matter is creating a prob
lem, insomuch as the engineers
who are to make the preliminary
survey have placed an estimate
on the survey of around S10,000.
At this time the City has been
unable to determine how the
money for the preliminary survey
can be raised. Further correspon
dence is under way to determine
how the survey may be completed
without complete payment being
made prior to the awarding of the
APW contract.
