FRIDAY FEBRUARY | FURMAN TELLS SENATE ABOUT HOUSING BILL Measure Passes Second Reading with 0n|y Minor Changes Housing Authority skipped almost un- scathed through the amendment gé of procedure in the Terri- b I Senate. Stanley A. Furman, Northwest Regional Counsel for the Federal Public Housing Authority, was on hand to explain the pro- visions of Senate Bill No. 21 and stood by to expound on questioned The Alaska Law yesterday points as the measure was read by section. Apparently, Mr. [Furman took care of his part very handily, for the reading of . the lengthy bill pushed right along, with only three minor amendments being attached. Two other proposed changes failed of adoption, and when the measure next appears, probably today or Saturday, it will be practically in its original form. One amendment adopied was proposed by Senator O. D. Coch- ran to strengthen the provisions of the measure which prohibit the authority created by the bill from obligating the Territory financially. Two amendments moved by Senator Leo W. Rogge, to alter the method of selecting the administrative board members, were lost by voice vote. Enabling Act One of the other changes in the measure empowers the adminis- trative board itself, instead of the Governor, to dismiss any of its own members found deficient in office. The third amendment provides that the authority file its annual report with the Auditor, rather than the Secretary of Alaska. Mr. Furman's statement as to the effect and intent of the Hous- ing Authority act, disclosed it to be principally an enabling measure, which will permit the Territory to benefit from Federally-financed housing projects through coopera- tion with the Federal agency. ‘The law proposed for Alaska con- tains only standard provisions, now in effect in 40 states and three other territories. The administra- , tion, THL' D. \IL\‘ /\L'ASKA EMPIRL JUNEAU, ALASKA !tive .mtholuv set up by the bill is designed to allow the agency to work through local au- tonomies. 1t is assured that result to the Territory passage of the measure. The hous- ing authority set up by it will be a separate corporate body, empow- | ered to bond or otherwise incur debts only on its own properties. It cannot bring about any Terri- torial obligation. Housing Construction The bill is set up to administer housing constructed under two sep- arate Federal acts. For the preser only that type known as Emergency War Housing would be a concern of the Territorial board. For the postwar period um clearance and low-cost housing programs would be developed War Housing, some of which is now being operated by the Federal authority, without local participa- in Anchorage and other Al-| aska cities, would, should the bill become law, be leased to the Terri torial Authority by the agency. The Alaska authority would operate such present and any other war housing built; would pay its costs from rentals collected, and would turn over net profits to the Federal Government. i Postwar Projects Postwar projects would have a | different status. They would act- lually be owned by the Alaska | authority, which would determine the need for them, select sites, de- velop plans, cause their construc- tion, finance and operate them The Federal agency would con- tribute to the Cco but bonds would be issued, secured by the projects themselves, on an amor- tizing basis. Postwar housing is planned as a permanent, self-paying progral and is not considered “expendabl as is the emergency War Housing, which is to be disposed of within two years following the end of hos- tilities. For each unit of slum- clearance or low-cost postwar hous- ing constructed, a matching unit of existing sub-standard must be eliminated. Elimination can be accomplished either through dismantling, abatement, or repair. Housing Only Rental All housing under both programs, Mr. Furman declared, is undertaken only where private enterprise is unable or unwilling to provide ac- commodations to the extent needed. All housing under both programs is purely rental.
