Imports were valued at $32,636,833, lor $3739,537 less than 1927. The |balance of trade in favor of Alaska was $42213,085 as compared to $20,- i565.605 for 1927. “The increase is jaccounted for almost entirely by the large salmon pack.” Salmon Fishery Outstanding Continuing, the Governor said: “The outstanding feature of the “During the year labor| Fisheries, should be completed as soon as possible. Accurate data | concerning the habits, feeding grounds, conditions that govern the routes | followed by the fish, extent of the fisheries, methods of fishing, proper luse and conservation, are necessary before existing controversies can be | satisfactorily closed. 3. An industrial school in Southeast Alaska and hos pitals for the care of tubercular natives in the First and Third Judicial divisions are mest necessary. Increased appropriations are essential to enable the Burcau of Education to supply much needed school and hospital facili- ties in many sections of the Territory. 4. There are several agencies engaged in the enforcement of the criminal laws. The agencies should be combined and placed in the Department of Justice. ' 5. The investigations made during the past two years disclose that wolves and coyotes arc increasing rapidly in some secilons and the evi- dence is convincing that they are destroying small game and fur- bearers. The Territory is spending $15000 cach year in an eifort to control the advance of these animals but the funds are not suffi- cient to finance an adequate program and the Federal Government should appropriate money to assist in the work. 3 6. The Revenue Cutter that is stationed in Southeast Alaska dur- ing the year renders most efficient and necessary service but it cannot {extend aid to the region tributary to Prince Willlam Sound and the jAluska Peninsula. Another cutter should be assigned to these waters | during the entire year. i | 7. There are two systems of communication now in the Territory. | The Signal Corps of the U. S. Army operates the cable betwcen Seattle fand Alaska and maintains a network of wireless telegraph stations which extend to nearly cvery part of the Territory. This is an excellent system and it is most efficiently managed. The U. S.

' | 8. Aviation has assumed an important place in the transportation field of the Territory and Alaska occupies a strategic position on the proposed air routes between Asia and America. The United States Army should establish airports and station a squadron of planes in thc; interior of the Territory and the U. S. Navy should provide a base fur‘ naval planes on the coast. “ i 9.
