al survey parties could be added
to keep pace with the increasing
I demand for public land surveys' as
a prerequisite for development of
minerals, homes, trading, and es
j tablishment of townsites. Lack of
! surveys is causing delays up to 10
years in the issuance of titles to
proved claims.
Forest Management — Restora
tion of $58,795 is needed to pr<»
| tect 140,000,000 acres of timber in
the public domain.
Education of the Natives—The
reduction of $27,435 would elim
J inate seven of the 19 day schools
which were to be reopened next
year.
Conservation of Health — The
House reduction of $612,364
would leave idle 280 beds needed
for tuberculosis patients.
Reclamation — The department
recommends that $100,000 be re
stored to the House allowance of
$150,000 to continue reclamation
investigations “at a slightly more
adequate rate.”
Geological Survey —The House
reduction of $200,800 would re
sult in serious slowing down in
collection of basic data on water
and mineral resources and topo
graphic mapping program.
Fish and Wildlife Service—The
Senate should restore the $89,700
House cut to protect Alaska fish
eries and game and to permit in
vestigations for the Alaska salmon
fishery restoration program.
Highways — The department
recommends that the $7,000,000 in
contract authorization allowed by
the House be increased to $10,
000,000.
Alaska Railroad — The House
cut of $8,000,000 in cash appropri
ation and $10,000,000 in contract
authorization will prevent con
struction of a locomotive repair
shop at Anchorage and a new
storehouse for mechanical parts
and general supplies in the An
chorage yards.
