Taken An Interest
In commenting on the appoint
ment of Mr. Bartlett, Chairman
Heintzleman said: ‘We were very
fortunate to obtain the services
of Mr. Bartlett for this important
work. He has long taken an in
terest in public affairs related
to the development of the Terri
tory and his training and exper
ience have fitted him for the
task of collecting and analyzing
the economic information on
which proper development plans
must rest, and of drafting the
clear and concse reports and ar
guments that are needed in sup
port of recommendations to Con
gress and the Territorial Legisla
ture on the things that should
be done.
How To Get Most for Money
“Advance public planning is
rapidly coming to be recognized
as the proper approach to the
question of how to get the most
for your money in dealing with
the problems of use and care of
resources and construction of pub
lie works, on which very large
sums are now being spent. All
of the States but one, and in
some instances groups of States
—notably the Pacific Northwest—
now have planning councils with
technically trained staffs to study
their local economic problems. In
this connection it will be recall
ed that Congress recently pass
ed a concurrent resolution re
questing the President to pre
pare and submit before February
1. 1938. a preliminary plan for
the development of natural re
sources and a system of most
needed public works in Alaska.
More and more Congress and
State legislatures are discarding
piecemeal consideration of re
quests for funds for resource de!
velppment and calling for all
around plans that show how.' one!
project affects another and which
should be handled first.
"The Council hopes to study
and prepare reports with recoin
mendations during the next two
years on a considerable number
of the more important problems
of Territorial development, but
at first will be fully occupied in
*.. "
drafting recommendations and
supporting statements for consid
ertion in connection with the A1
aska plan called for in the con
current resolution mentioned ab
ove. The President has instruct
ed the National Resources Com
mittee in Washington to prepare
the plan and this committee has
asked the Alaska Territorial Coun
cil to make recommendations that
reflect the views of the Terri
tory. This is an exceptional op
portunity for the people of A1
aska to get consideration of their
ideas on things to be done to
promote the permanent develop
ment of the Territory, and the
Council expects to confer with
local agencies, Chambers of Com
meree, and individuals in draft
ing the material to be submitt
ed. Mr. Bartlett will doubtless
want to start work at once on
this important Alaska planning
activity.”
Do Not Have To
Report This Time
Change in Period for Filing of
Social Security Information
Returns
Thor Henricksen, Acting Collec
tor of Internal Revenue for this
district announces that he has.
been advised by the Commission
er of the Internal Revenue Ser
vice that Social Security informa
tion returns on forms SS-2 and
SS-2-A will not be required for
the quarter ending September
30. The next filing of such re
turns will be for the six months
beginning July 1st and ending
December 31st, instead of the
quarterly return originally plan
ned. Social Security taxpayers
will therefore make no returns
of foms SS-2 and SS-2A for the
quarter ending September 30, as
previously instructed but will
during January 1938 make such
returns for the six months per
iod as stated above.
