WED ESDAY APRIL 4, | 45 Revenue Bond Bill Is Putin By Bartleti Measure Would Give May- ors, Councils in Alaska New Authority By MARY LEE COUNCIL (Secretary to E. L. Bartlett, Delegate to Congress from the Tegritory of Alaska). WASHINGTON, March'23 — A bill ‘designed to give a ' greater measure of home rule to municipal | corpdrations in duced in the House this week by Delegate Bartlett. The bill, which alen “apolies to DI tricts, would make it possible for 1cvenue bonds to be issued without the necessity for election. Until 1936 it was necessary to come to Congress for authority to issue: any class of bonds in what- ever amount. In that year, Dimend spensored a - bill made it possible for Alaska to hold elections for issuance of general obligation bonds without congres- sional approval provided the total bonded indebtedness of the would not exceed 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real property. However, the requirement that'a specified percentage of tax- payers must approve revenue bonds continued to exist, notwithstand- ing the fact that such bonds do not constitute a lien in any sense of the word on taxable property. If the measure now presented be- comss law, the mayors and councils of Alaska communities effect as boards of directors in de- termining whether revenue bonds should be issued for public works of a permanent character. Elections for issuance of such bonds would no longer be required. This is gen- eral practice throughout the States, ond Delegate Bartlett expressed himself as being strongly in favor of extending a similar right to the Territory. TURNAGAIN ARM SURVEY Delegate Bartlett has been in- formed that Public Roads Adminis- tration has sent to Alaska a bridge engineer to conduct a.survey to determine the most practicable an feasible site for the crossing of Turnagain Arm. Delegate Bartlett has been as- sured that local labor will be em- ployed and exhaustive surveys will be made. The surveys follow pre-, vious studies conducted last year Alaska was intro- | lic utility dis- | Delegate | which | will act in | Alaska during Wilson's administra- tion. Mr. and Mrg.
