HOSPITAL SURVEY 6
CONSTRUCTION ACT
For survey and planning $10,000 and for
construction $40,200; those are the pre
liminary estimates of allotments to Alaska
under the Hospital Survey and construction
Act rhich'President Truman signed on
August 13. , '
At the Extraordinary Session of tho leg
islature this spring legislation was on
actcd for a‘survey of the hospital faci]- i
itiC3 and the establishment of a plan in ,
order that the Territory might receive the'
benefits of the Fodoral Act. Both Acts
call for a survey of tho over-all neods
for hospitals and allied facilities and
the preparation of a Territorial plan for
all futur6‘hospital constructions. Tho
responsibility for the survey and future
planning for hospital construction has
been designated to tho Territorial Depart
ment of Health.
Although the Fcdcrnl bill authorizes ap-‘
propriations up to $75,000,000 each year,
no federal funds have‘yet been appropri
ated for construction. VThen the construc
tion funds arc made available, the terri
torial survey must be completed and tho
Alaska plan approved before construction
applications can be accepted by tho U.S.
Public Health Scrvico.
Construction applications must be submit
ted to the Territorial Deptrtmont of
Health and recommended"by the Department
to tho Surgeon General,
Since the Hospital Survey tun? Construction
Act culls for matching funds on a 2 to 1
basis, any application for construction
raust give assurance that tr/o thirds of
the total cost of the construction project(
rill bo available from non-fcdoral funds.
Dr, C, Earl Albrecht, Tefritorial Commis
si or or of Health, states', "The survey

territorial Acts has been sdr in motion
