If the above assessments are not paid on or before July 15, 1920,
interest will be charged at the rate of twelve per cent per annum.
Section 4, Chapter 5, H. B. 35: All taxes levied and assessed by
the Board of School Directors under this Act shall be a lien upon the
property assessed and such lien shall be prior and paramount to all
other liens and encumbrances, and may be foreclosed by an appropri
ate action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The owner of prop
erty assessed shall be personally liable for the amount of taxes assessed
against such property and such taxes, together, with penalties and in
terest, may be collected a^ter the same become due, in a personal ac
tion brought in the name of the School District against such owner in

5. That, if one line be substituted
for the two existing American lines,
ithe vessel routes and sailings be en
tirely rearranged, by and with the
; co-operation of the shipping board
(and the postoflice department, to the
jend that all sections of Alaska may
I receive reasonable transportation and
! mail service.
6. That in case a substitution of
[one line for the two existing Ameri
ican lines be accomplished, the ship
ping board allocate vessels for lim
*ited periods to the residual line to
enable it to meet the peak traffic
j loads and to preclude the mainten
jance throughout the year of ar ex-:
|cess tonnage.
7. That in case the substitution
|of one line be made, as above out
! lined, strict supervision-of all rates
land rate increases shall at all times
j be maintained by the United States
| Shipping board, that all benefits
jfrom such consolidation shall at all
[times be secured to the people of
j Alaska through reduced freight rates
and the maintenance of reasonable ■
service.
8. That, pending the establishment j
|of an improved service, the cannery j
land other private vessels operating
[to ports off the main routes of trav
lel be authorized and encouraged to
[carry passengers and freight for the
[public to such ports not regularly
[served by common carrier; also that
[upon the establishment of a com-:
i mon carrier service to any port the :
authority of the cannery vessels to |
carry passengers or freight other j
than their own to such ports shall
be terminated.
9. That any action looking to a
readustment of the Interior water
jways service (Yukon river, etc.) be
; postponed until the completion of
the Government railroad to Nenana,
when a revision of such services
will be imperative. Transportation
charges on the Yukon and Tanana
rivers are high and the service on
the lower Yukon inadequate, but no
temporary measures of relief pre
sent themselves.
Concentration and Co-ordination of
Federal Control.
Nearly all of Alaska’s resources
are directly or indirectly controlled
by the Federal Government. About
!)9 percent of the land is still in
Government ownership. The devel
opment of coal and oil deposits is
under Government leases. Water
powers and fisheries are under Fed
eral control, and nearly all Alaska
timber is in Government ownership.
The federal control of Alaska’3
resources is vested in a number of
bureaus and departments. Rules
and reflations relating to Alaska
affairs, under the existing statutes,
must be made by Washington au
thorities, who are also in large
measure directly charged with their
execution. • This long-distance ad
ministration has been a serious han
dicap to the development of Alaska.
In many instances regulations have
been made which did not meet the
local requirements, and unjust deci
sions rendered because those making
them were not familiar with local
conditions. This situation has work
ed a particular hardship on the op
erator with small capital who could
not afford .to make the long journey
to present his argument in person
to the Washington authorities.
Owing to the divided authority
and the limitations placed by stat
utes and appropriations, there has
also been a lack of co-ordination be
tween various Alaska Federal ac
tivities. For example, there are
four different Federal bureaus which
have funds for construction of wag
on roads in Alaska, in addition to
the grants made by the Territorial
government. So far as possible this
situation has been met by co-opera
tion between the several agencies in
ivolved. Apain, the duty of enforce
I ment of frame laws is shared by the
| Governor of Alaska and the depart
jments of commerce and afrriculture.
jTo improve these conditions the com
jmittee recommends:
j 1. The passape of an act provid
, inp for an Alaska Development
[Board, located in Alaska, and au
thorized to administer the federal
[laws relatinp to public lands, leases,
water powers, fisheries, timber,
railroad construction and operation,
and wapon-road construction.
2. That the Alaska Development
Board should not take over the pure
ly investipative work in Alaska form
inp a part of the activities of the
larpe federal scientific orpanizations.
This, because such investipations as,
for example, those of the Geolopical
Survey, Coast Survey, Weather Bu-!
reau and of other scientific bureaus, 1
can best and most economically be
carried on by the existing apencies. :
Mr. Sherman, representinp the De-:
partment of Apriculture, refrained j
from joininp in the above two rec- j
ommendations. On May 24 the sec-'
retary of apriculture addressed a
letter to the Departments of War,'
Interior, Labor, and Commerce, sup-!
pestinp that any comprehensive lep- J
islation for the reorpanization of,
the administration of national prop- j
erty and interests in Alaska should j
be based upon a joint considera-j
tion of the departments concerned, i
Since the matter is therefore under
inter-departmental consideration at
the request of the Department of
Apriculture, Mr. Sherman did not
feel authorized or qualified to pive
advice in the premises.
Pendinp the conpressional author
ization for an Alaska Development
Board and as a temporary expedi
ent, the committee further recom
mends :
1. That an Inter-Departmental Al
aska Committee be orpariized, to be
composed of representatives of all
Government departments concerned
in Alaska affairs. Also that the
Governor of Alaska be made a mem
ber ex-officio of this committee.
! 2. That an additional assistant sec
retary of the Interior Department
be appointed, who shall be chairman
of the committee and shall devote
all his time to Alaska affairs.
3. That the chairman of the com
mittee shall spend a larpe part of
his time in Alaska and thus by per
sonal contact become intimately ac
quainted with Alaska conditions.
Wagon Roads and Trails.
The committee finds that the con
| struction of wapon roads and trails
is one of the most important and
,urpent needs of Alaska. Without
the construction of a larpe mileape
i of wapon roads and trails the re

made available. Nothing will con
tribute more to development of ton
nage for the Government railroad
than a system of tributary wagon .
roads.
Mining Industry.
The committee finds that there
are large undeveloped mineral re
sources in Alaska; that the advance
of the mining industry is dependent
chiefly on (1) cheaper transporta
tion and (2) construction of wagon
roads and trails, but that there is
also need of investigations and re
ports on certain of its features. The
committee recommends that;
1. The Bureau of Mines make
a report on the feasibility of smelt
ing Alaska copper ores within the
Territory. This work to be done in
!co-operation wdth the Geological Sur
|ver so far as may be necessary;
2. The Bureau of Mines make an
investigation and report on meth
ods and costs of placer mining in
Alaska. This to be specially direct
ed toward the development of meth
ods of exploiting the large bodie:
1 of auriferous gravels of low gold
content.
The committee finds that the de
velopment of coal and oil fields >s
of first importance to the Territory.
It therefore recommends that:
1. Every encouragement be given
to coal and oil development, espe
cially by making the terms of leases
as liberal as the law allows;
2. The necessary underground ex
plorations in the Matanuska coal
field be prosecuted with vigor by
the Government;
•>. The companies engaged in pros
pecting the Bering River coal field
be given every encouragement to
develop coal and to the building of
railroads necessary to its marketing;
4. The rnter-Departmental Com
mittee give immediate and earnest
consideration to the desirability of
the establishment of a coaling sta
tion for commercial and naval uses
at a port in the Aleutian islands
most suitably located to serve trans
pacific shipping and if possible the
cannery industry of Southwestern
Alaska.
The committee furthermore recom
mends that Congress be asked:
1. To increase the appropriation
for the investigation of the mineral
resources of Alaska, as being one of
the most important steps to further
mining development in the Terri
tory and the development of ton
nage for the railroad;
2. To modify the Alaska coal leas
ing law allowing a prospecting peri
od of four years before a lease is
signed.
