WyjFME DEPARTMENT HAS NO FUNDS
TO COPE WITH RISING DELINQUENCY
Although juvenile delinquency
is increasing in Alaska, the ter
ritorial department of public wel
fare can do nothing to expand its
program to meet the new de
mands, Henry Harmon, director, 1
announced recently. The last
legislature cut the welfare fund i
request by $90,000, leaving it only ;
enough money to care for chil- j
ctren already committed under the ;
Juvenile Code, Mr. Harmon ex- j
plained.
Tfee director said the balance of ■
funds remaining for this biennium ;
must be set aside to care for only j
the babies and very young chil- j
dren referred to the department j
as new cases. All other money j
must go toward the care of cases j

already committed.
It was pointed out that the De
partment of Public Welfare can
not exceed its budget, since the
law specifically prevents **..
In concluding his outline of the
department's inability to help, Mr.
Harmon said:
“This department wants every
one to know it is concerned about
youth problems. The agency is
doing everything possible to ex
tend services to children in
trouble. We want the public to
know that appropriations are not
adequate and the department will
be unable to care for children in
the manner in which they should
be cared for.”
Fair Funds May Be
Tied Up Again This Year
It was reported in the Alaska
Farmer that there will be no ter
ritorial appropriation for agricul
tural fairs again this year. That
report could not be officially ver
ified at press-time.
