BOROUGHS ( c o n t. from pg. l)
schools is determined by a formula
which takes into consideration the
number of pupils,-teachers and at
tendance centers.
In reviewing the standards for
borough incorporation fir. Cease
pointed out that a proposed borough
•should have a stable population, am
ple transportation facilities, a
sound economic base sufficient to
support a borough, and boundaries
which conform to the natural ge
ography of the area.
fir. Cease also pointed out that
in his opinion a borough which would
include the area from Delta and Tok
to Waldez and Cordova would be too
large and too diverse in its econom
ic activities. He did not feel that
this region could presently meet the
standards for incorporation as a
borough.
What next—should we all just
forget about boroughs for the time
being? Definitely not! Hr. Cease
suggested forming borough study
groups. I think the forming of such
a study committee in this district
would be a wise move. Such a group
could make a detailed study of
existing borough laws, keep abreast
of new legislation, and try to fol- |
low closely, developments in the
e-ight areas which will be incorpor
ated—willingly or otherwise—by
January 1, 1964.
A backlog of informed citizenry
would be prepared to help guide the
region to borough-hood should the
time come when this area could meet
the standards for incorporation.
Perhaps one of the local organiza
I tions could take the initiative in
forming a borough study committee.
