Homer Garvin, for the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce, sub- mitted a brief on the condition of the Alaska Forest Highway Sys- tem, which urged the permanent ng of principal forest high- to cuf maintenance and to allow use of a greater portion of forest road funds for expansion of the system. Norman C. Banfi expla'ned 80 percent of forest road funds are now being spent just to main- tain the 274 miles of forest roads now constructed. Senator Ellnder sought to determine just what proportion of the Forest Highway System taps private land and ask- ed if it is felt that the Federal government pay the entire cost of permanent surfacing, even where the roads run by privately-ownzd property. Three Kinds cf Roads Banfield set forth that as pres ently administered, forest roa e in the province of the Federal Government; the Federal govern- md‘n( through the Alaska Road also builds and main- arterial roadways outside the while the Terri- tains national forests; tory constructs and keeps up s ondary roads which run mainly through the public domain, as only* two percent of Alaska is privately owned. Approximately qual amcunts are spent on each cate- gory of roads. The only practical way is for each agency to have full * responsibility for roads ot each type and for that reason surfacing of forest roads should ke a Federal job, he contended. Senator Harry P. Cain, third member of the committee, was im- pressed by the fact that, exce for a few minor roads for mili- tary purposes, no extensions of the for road em in this area have b(t”] undertaken in |hL‘ past 17 y He wondered why Alaskans not been able to get don: about it Pre: by H.

Paul, Jr., attorney for the Alaska Native Brotherhood, for adminis- trative restriction upon loans to natives from the revolving fund created by the Indian Reorganiza- tion Act, of 1936. An argument developed ketween Paul and ANS General Superintendent Don C. Fostey regarding how the Act should be interpreted.
