torial 'Hospital Advisory Council, stated j
that the Federal Hospital Bill allotted
380,000.00 to the Territory. This amount
was based on existing Hospital facilities
and the population. Hr. Sundborg expres
sed the belief that Alaska, due to its
scattered population, needed a larger a- j
mount and was in agreement with Delegate
Bartlett's proposal that a minimun of 3250,
000.00 be allotted to the States and Ter
ritories with the lower population status.
He pointed out that Hospital Construction
in Alaska costs about $10,000.00 per bed
and that 380,000.00 would provide only an
additional 8 beds.
At the last session of the Territorial
Legislature an Appropriation of $165,000.00
had beon mode but no provisions had been
made to raise that amount. Therefore, in
spite of the Appropriation, there is no
money available for Hospital Construction.
The Entertainment was concluded by skits
put on by the Little Theatre Croup and the
I!ighty Deuces from the 802 Salvage Co. of i
Fort Richardson. "Anything for a Laugh"
was the theme. Musical accomtianiment was
supplied by a colored troupe consisting
of Bass Viola, Drums, Saxaphone and Piano,
True to their word the entertainers kept
the Audience guessing as to what was com
ing next.
