from twenty million to seven
million for the APW is for the
1953 fiscal year. The commit
tee has eliminated all funds
requested for projects requir
ing authorizing - elections by
the residents of-the local com
raunites where the same have
pot been held.
v ln addition to jeopardizing
the $1,007,000 for Kodiak the
six and a half million construc
tion program for 'Anchorage
and the three million program
for Fairbanks were en
dangered.
The final outcome, can not
be determined until after the
Senate appropriations com
mittee acts. The House com
mittee 4 ‘recommended that
the federal government get
out of the banking business.”
They would require that the
cities arrange their own
financing for one-half •, the
cost of the projects.
At present, the act pro
vides that the APW agency
will build community facilities
and sell them to the cities at
half the cost. The cities are
allowed to pay for their share
over a 20 year period at a low,
interest rate.
The APW officials went be
fore the committee with a
list of 25 projects under the
federal aid plan.
The list includes nine pro
jects in Anchorage totaling
six and one-half million. If
the officials in charge earmark
the entire appropriation it
would just cover the Anchor
age projects.
But Kodiak has projects,
too. Kodiak has applied for a
$661,000 sewer and water pro
ject, and a $346,000 school
addition.
Others which have applied
include Palmer, Valdez, Skag
way, Petersburg and Ketchi
kan.
Under the House com
mittee’s ruling most of these
projects will be impossible in
1952. Officials will have a dif
ficult time selecting which
projects are needed most and
should get a share of the
seven million.
Three years have passed
since the APW act was passed.
If the seven million comes
this year it will make a total
of twenty three million pro
vided in the three years. There
is only two years left for the
balance of the program and
little likelihood that the bal.
ance of seventy milli®n can be
obtained.
