AND VALDEZ CITY NAMED
$
City Exemption Boards in Each Judi
cial Division Will Have Concurrent
Jurisdiction—Eacli Town of Terri
tory Has Board Named.
Governor Strong has forwarded to
the Provost Marshal General. Wash
• ington, D. C., his recommendations
in the matter of the appointment of
exemption boards under the military
selective draft law, and has outlined
the general plan under which it is
proposed these boards shall work.
The plan proposed by the Governor
provides for the City Exemption
Board in each of the sixteen incor
porated towns of the Territory, with
a Divisional Exemption Board in each
of the four judicial divisions. The
•City Board will pass upon the quali
fications and exemption claims of all
persons who are selected, and the Di
visional boards will act as boards of
review in the consideration of such
cases as may be appealed from the
decisions of the City boards.
The City Exemption Boards in each
judicial division will have concurrent
jurisdiction throughout such division.
A person who has been registered in
one of the incorporated towns will,
of course, be required to report to
the exemption board for the town in
which he is registered, unless circum
stances make it impracticable to so
report, in which event provision will
be made for examination by an ex
‘emption board more conveniently
available. Persons who reside in pre
cincts outside of the incorporated
^towns, and who have registered in
such outside precincts, may report to
any of the City Exemption boards
within the limits of the judicial divi
. sion in which they reside.

of the First Judicial Division will re
port to the exemption boards in one
-of the following incorporated towns
in that division:
Douglas, ilaiues, Juneau, Ketchi
kan, Petersburg, Skagway, Wrangell.
