These said the subcommittee on the Dep bill had recommended not more than $350,000 be made available for expenditure in the Territory House A similar provision was written into the bill last Spring, upsetting the entire road construction pro- gram in National Forest sections of Alaska. It effectively prevented the regular allotment being made to the Territory, which would have amounted to more this year. It also tied up an accumulated fund from previous similar appro- priations, a fund that was in ex- cess of $800,000. The bill last Spring prohibited the expenditure of more than $350,000 from unexpended balances of other allotments and the allotment of 1932-33.
