Under the provisions of this bill, the Territory would become eligible for its proportion in the allocation students lof funds for highway construction.

In that time he was| in charge of conducting reconnais- sance for port terminal facilities both at Anchorage and Juneau. | From July 1942, Huston was first the associate engineer at Juneau and one year later became the| senior engineer. Besides the port construction at the Alaska capital, he supervised the building of the tactical gasoline system including/| control tower and weather tower at the air field, warm-up aprons at | Annette Island landing field, tacti- | cal gasoline system at Cordova air-| field, and procurement, m::p(‘cmm“ and shipping of valuable lumber from Southeastern Alaska sawmills. | Huston's service with the W Department Engineers began in | June, 1924, when he served as a| gehand at Willapa H Wash. He continued on the W Harber job until 1930, the Ilatter four years a surveyman. His eleva- | tion to inspector for the Seattle district engineer office in 1930, | finally brought him in contact with the Alaska area when he had| charge of the removal of channel’ obstructions at Dutch Harbor and | he conducted reconnaissances for the Juneau Harbor. Gee, a graduate of the Case| Scheol of Engineering of Cleveland, | ©., was cited for his work as Cadastral engineer for the Canol project in the Mackenzie River area. Starting fifteen years of un- |broken service with the War De- ment Engineers in 1930, Mr. I Gee served with the U. S. Engineers in the Buffalo district until March, 1043, when he joined the Edmonton, Can,, office on the Canol job. In May, 1944, he received his present assignment with the Alaskan De- (hartment Engineer section in charge cf maps and record surveys.

Clean, Furnisned Wally | Sperling and Beverly Farl, |4 "line the matter The Federal Aid and Highway Acts now embrace the 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, but not ' Alaska, and provide that each shall contribute funds from its treasury for the maintenance of roads con-| structed with funds apportioned to | it by the United States Govern-| ment. However, Mr. Bartlett’s bill provides that the money allocated to the Territory from having to| rieet the requirements of appro-| priating maintenance funds. i Ideal Arrangement i “If the bill can be passed in the form it was introduced, an ideal arrangement would be provided for future road building in Alaska,” Delegate Bartlett said. “However, liminary and informal conversa- adicate the bill will have far It may be ex- assent will not proposition that from clear sailing. pected that ready be given to the Alaska alone of all the political subdivision shall not be required to pay road maintenance costs. In addition, it is understood there is not unanimity of opinion within the Public Roads Administration— which would become the agency having to do with Alaska roads if the bill is passed—that the formula for arriving at a determination of funds for Alaska roads, first sug- gested by former Delegate Dimond and repeated in this bill, ought to If the bill could pass as it is ¢ drawn, I believe it would be d by most Alaskens. If limit- amendments are suggested by | the Public Roads Adm ration | or by Congressional committees, it will be necessary for us to reexam- to determine if it would be any improvement over the present system of rcad construction and maintenance.” STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA | Delegate Bartlett has received from the Legislature of the State of Montana copy of a joint resolu- passed by both houses and ap=- proved by the Governor wrging Congr immediate admis- | of Alaska as a state. gressman Mike Mansfield of | Montana, in submitting the resolu- | tion to the House, wholcheartedly | favored this resclution and “Alaska, with its hug territory, great natural resour and fine | citizenry, is capable of becoming a | state with all the rights, pr and responsibilities that go w WAR PLANT LOAN Delegate Bartlett has announced that the first loan to a business | firm outside the 48 states has been nged by the Smaller War| ants Corporation for the produc- | tien of vitally needed material for airplanes and other war produc- tion. The loan of $23,000 will be made | and serviced by the First National | Bank of Ketchikan to the W. M.| Walker Spruce Company of Craig,! laska, under an agreement '1} e SWPC..

Seventy per cent | ac- | of the mill's output will be shipped | : by water to Everett, Washington, to be processed into airplane stock. The remaining 30 per cent will go| into the manufacture of boxes for shipment of fish to our armed services and for essential civilian use. “It seems to me,” Delegate Bart-| lett stated, “that this initial lcan through the SWPC to open a new Alaskan business is of tremendous | significance. When Maury Maverick, | Chairman of the SWPC, visited | Alaska last summer, he had an| opportunity to see first-hand the| potentialities of Alaska as a fron- | tier for returning veterans.
