Housing Funds
The Senate last week voted in
favor of appropriating $10 million
as a revolving fund for the Alaska
Housing Authority in the construc
tion of housing for rent or sale
where sufficient private capital is
not otherwise obtainable.
The funds are contained in the
third deficiency bill which also al
lows $75,000 for salaries and ex
penses of enlarged federal Housing
and Home Finance Agency activi
ties in the Territory anticipated to
be necessary under the Alaska
Housing Act.
House agreement to the appro
priations must be had before the
money becomes available.

License Taxes ...
Congressional action was com
pleted last week on Delegate Bart
lett’s bill affecting business and
trade license taxes in Alaska.
The bill, which is now before
President Truman, having passed
the Senate August 27, repeals a
law which has been on the books
for 50 years. That law, in effect
since 1899, established a system of
business and trade license taxes
collected and placed in the federal
treasury in the so-called “Alaska
Fund” for disbursement for spe
cific Alaska purposes such as pub
lic schools in the Territory, relief
of the indigent and for wagon
roads, bridges and trails.
It has always been necessary,
however, for annual congressional
approval for the disbursement of
these funds. The 1949 Territorial
legislature passed a law this year
spelling out license taxes to be in
force as soon as Congress repealed
the 1899 law.
“The Territorial government of
Alaska,” Under Secretary of the
Interior Chapman stated in the de
partment's report on the measure,
“is being called upon to shoulder
increasing burdens imposed by an
expanding population, due in a pre
ponderant measure to increased
military and civilian activities of
the federal government in Alaska.
In order to cope with these addi
tional burdens and increased re
sponsibilities and to make adequate
provision for the health, education,
public welfare, and safety of its
expanding population, the Territo
rial government must be able to
