APW Director
Stresses Need for
Project Designs
Delegates and guests of the
League of Alaska Cities heard of
the Alaska Public Works pro
gram from James W. Huston,
AiPW director from Juneau dur
ing a luncheon meeting on Tues
day.
Huston told of the original
authorization of $70 million by
Congress in 1949 and of the im
portant part the League of Alaska
Cities played in getting the time
extension on the program. Sch
ools in the territory have account
ed for 44 percent of funds spent;
utilities about 31 percent and the
remaining amounts in streets,
public buildings, hospitals and
five percent by the University of
Alaska.
City and school district offici
als were urged by Huston t* get
busy on design work of projects
they wish to carry out through
Alaska Public Works.
Huston told listeners that the
20-year payment plan is not a fix
ed time limit for paying off loans,
but rather a matter more or less
of policy. He said that APW
generally asks for 15-year pay
ments on revenue producing pro
jects and 10-year payments on
streets. He stated that there re
mains about $15 million in the
appropriated fund, and urged

and because many people who
used the hospital this year have
not yet paid, the hospital has
been forced to sum up debts that
total over $14,000.
Members of the hospital board
of directors urge that residents
of the Mafcanuska Valley:
ENCOURAGE friends and nei
ghbors to use their local hospital.
It is an excellent facility. Its
rates are as low—even lower—
than found elsewhere.
ENCOURAGE other people to
pay their hospital bills. Investi
gate hospital insurance for the
family so that there will be no
need to be tardy in paying bills
when the occasidn demands.
PUBLICIZE the community’s
hospital and its current difficul
ties. Talk about it at club meet
ings, at church, at school, on the
street!
More than 900 people used the
local hospital last year.

applications into Juneau as soon
as possible, stressing the need for
plans accompanying the propos

VETERANS, WIDOWS ARE
URGED TO NOTIFY VA
OF INCOME RISE
.Veterans and widows receiving
non-service-connected pension
payments from the Veterans Ad
ministration are urged by VA to
keep an accurate check on their
income to make sure that it does
not exceed statuatory limits.
Under existing law, annual in
come in excess of certain amounts
must be reported, and VA is re
quired to stop pension payments,
which by law may not be made
if income in excess of certain
stated amounts is received.
VA said that by reporting the
change in any anticipated in
come, veterans and widows re
ceiving the payments will be
spared the trouble and often the
hardship of repaying the Govern
ment for any large overpayments
which are certain to result if VA
is not notified promptly. Under
the present law, VA regulations
direct that failure to report such
income resulting in overpayments
Where VA is notified prompt
must be subject to recovery,
ly, pension payments will be dis
continued effective the date of
the last payment. However,
where the veteran or widow fails
to notify the VA promptly, dis
continuance will be retroactive to
January 1 of the calendar year
in which the excessive income
was received, and steps will be
taken to recover the entire over
payment.
In the event the income ques
tionnaire of the succeeding jfear
