IDITAROD IS STRONG FOR LANE’S
PLAN.
A mass-meeting of the citizens of
Flat adopted resolutions petitioning
Secretary of Commerce William C.
Redfield and Secretary of Agriculture
D. F. Houston to reconsider their ad
verse attitude toward the Alaska De
velopment Board plans of Secretary of
the Interior Franklin K. Dane. The
resolutions set out that the convic
tion of the people of Flat is is that the
proposed development board offers the
medium that has been offered for
the immediate, expeditious and effi
cient handling of federal affairs in
Alaska, and that the withdrawal of
the objections of these cabinet depart
ments must be removed and their
sympathy secured in order to insure
the support that is necessary to se
cure this vitally important legislation.
The resolutions contend that un
less these cabinet heads permit the
transference of the powers exercised
by their departments to the develop
ment board that such a board would
would be useless.
The Flat meeting voted to urge
other Alaska communities to join
them in urging the Dane plan, and
is requesting Secretaries Redfield and
Houston to withdraw their objections.
