The special representative even went so far, according to Bragaw, as to en- courage the belief that funds would be withheld from the Territory if the local board refused to agree to suggested changes in administra- tive policy, particularly in connec- tion with the appointment of a airector and other employes of the local board. No Alternative “We felt”, it was explained by the Anchorage member, “that in- |asmuch as we had been appointed | to administer the affairs of the |board in the manner directed by ‘he Legislature, we were not at| |liberty to agree to any departure |from established policy without the (consent of the Legislature and we |did not want to place ourselves in' a position of being responsible for the withholding of funds from the Territory because of our refusal to surrender rights which we con-| .s\der properly belonging to the ter-| |ritory, So Dr. Dick and I agreed | hat the only thing we could do un- der the circumstances, was to re- ign, thereby making way for the appointment of men who may be| :ble to find a solution’ of the prob- lem.” Bragaw says he and Dr. Dick woided becoming involved in a row over their inability to agree with administrative requests and they were still on friendly terms concerned at the ime of their departure for home. lip of Fairbanks, to Suc- ceed Bragaw, Dick (Continued from Page One) ] — with Insured Safety 0 EARNINGS On Savings Accounts ® Accounts Government In- sured up to $5,000. ® Money available at any time. ® Start an account with $1 or more.
