Legislator present, for his fine
work in the last Legislature and
stated that the Second Division
can be proud of his record at a
| Legislature which did so much
harm.
He prophesied that the coming
, year would go down in history as
a “year of destiny” for the Tern
tory of Alaska for many reasons,
| including big government pro
i jects as well as the much needed
i private investment which must go
! hand in hand with progress. He

of the Territory and onyl by phys
ical connection—road or rail—can \
this be overcome.
Mr. Sundborg is confident that i
the Statehood bill will be passed,
and he explained that this will
have to be followed by a Constitu
tional convention which will draw
up the plan for the future state.
This will have to be submitted to
the national government for care
ful study before an election can
be held, which he assumes will j
take until about 1950.
He stated that the survey was
held through the suggestion of A.
Polet of the Alaska Development
Board, as the Second Division has
not received sufficient recognition.
Also because the Division had
voted against Statehood, there was '
sufficient feeling in other parts of
the Territory to consider a split-up 1
of the Territory for a State, leav
ing the Second Division out en- ,
tirelv, which would be a definite
step backward.
In response to a question on the
high cost of maintaining a State,
he explained that the individual
would be taxed, but as most peo-!

more than the poll tax of S5.00,
that four times that amount 'as
quoted by one of the speakers)
would not be such a heavy tax
burden in his belief.
Mr. Sundborg said the survey
would answer a manifold purpose
when put in pamphlet form, serv
ing the Chamber as a source of
important information as well as
the only informative publication
on this Division, which is in such
demand all over the country.
He requested a meeting of the
department heads to discuss the
plan of having the important
needs of the Division recorded on
records to be broadcast in other
Divisions so they also will know
our needs.
Donald Lyle, roads chairman,
stated that he could name many
vitally needed roads in the Divi
sion but that he felt the road to
Fairbanks was our most import
ant and crying need as a means of
a constant life-line to the world.
Ted Duffield of the Housing
committee stated that next to the
road we must have adequate hous
ing for those who will come to us
over that road; along with a zon
ing plan which can only be done
by city organization with careful
thought to sanitation and fire
laws, which must be rigidly en
forced. He also reported on the
shameful way that people, anx
ious to co-operate and be cured of
active T.B., are forced to wait
from 6 months to a year for hos
pitalization, having no livelihood
in the interim. He urged a pro
gram demanding more hospital fa
cilities.
Paul Mandeville of the Health
Committee felt that we were at a
standstill on housing until the
transportation costs could be
brought to a normal level, through
the road to Fairbanks, upon which
housing and sanitation hinged,
and he also brought hope that
there was a solution to sanitation
problems even with our perma
frost problems.
Councilman Hedreen called at
tention to facts gleaned at a meet
ing which he attended in Seattle
