Alaska to Spend
State Funds
For Century 21
Governor William A. Egan has
signed into law a bill making
available $137,000 in state funds
for Alaska’s participation in the
Century 21 Exposition in Seattle.
The bill appropriates $118,000
from the general fund and trans
fers an additional .$19,000 from
funds made available to the Divi
sion of Tourism during the cur
rent year for contractual services.
Cash contributions made to
assist in the state's program
would, under the law, be deducted
from the state appropriation
when they reach a total of $20,
000 unless earmarked for a spe
cific phase of the state’s partici
pation.
The Russians often referred' to
the area around Fort St. Nicho
las (now city of Kenssd) as the
'‘summer land."
