CITY BUDGET
APPROVED;
NO TAX HIKE
A tax rate of 20 mills and a budget
of $448,211.97 were approved at a
special meeting of the Juneau City
Council last night. The budget was
based on the 20 millage rate and
made allowances for contingencies
unforeseen at this time, such as
expanding requirements of the j
schools, rising costs of government,
and labor, and the difficulties to,
be faced in housing the various j
city departments when construction ,
may be started on the Territorial
building.
Regular operating items were in- J
eluded, largely based on last year's j
operation with increases in employee |
salaries.
Councilman A1 Zenger moved for ;
an 18 mill* rate which was voted '
dowrn. Councilman George Jorgen
son moved for 19 mills which was
also voted down. The motion for the
20 mill rate by Councilman Ed
Nielson resulted in a tie broken by
Mayor Waino Hendrickson’s aye I
vote thereby passing the motion. ]
The budget, as passed, leaves
approximately $10,000 for contin
gencies.

BARTLETT PROTESTS
BUREAU OF BUDGET
PUBLIC WORKS CUT
On learning that the Bureau of
the U.S. Budget had cut the Con
gressional appropriation of *5,000,000
for Alaska Public Works in such a
way that only $2,000,000 will be
available for new projects in the
present fiscal year, Delegate E. L.
Bartlett immediately telegraphed a
strong protest to Washington.
Bartlett had introduced the bill
which became Public Law 264.
His telegraphed protest was to
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Dale Doty, who is in charge of the
Office of Territories of which the
Alaska Public Works is a branch.
The Alaska Delegate urged that
"the Alaska Public Works not be
viewed as an ordinary one would be
—that is, as a case where it is de
sirable to save materials and man
power to meet all defense require
ments.
"Because," amplified Bartlett, “it
s not in the ordinary category of
Public Works but, on the other
hand, a program the President him
self urged for speedy development
of Alaska in order that the military
here be strengthened by civilian de
velopment.”
Bartlett pointed out that the pro
gram already had suffered from
'brutal assaults” and said it should
not be diminished at all by execu
tive action,
"The appropriation made,” he
added, “was far too little to meet
the needs, and certainly should have
no further reduction from the Con
gressional appropriation.”

NEW ARC ROAD
GIVES ACCESS TO
40-MILE, DAWSON
- 1
Two far-famed mining districts!
| of the Northland today have direct
access to the outside by road for
the firs*, time in history.
A 103-mile section from the Al
aska Highway to the Y. T. border
provides the important link.
It opens up the 40-Mile and
Jack Wade mining districts of Al
aska. and t.he great Dawson area
in Yukon Territory.
After all summer fighting a fro
zen side-hill at 75-Mile, near Jack
Wade, Alaska Road Commission
crews finally were able to finish
this stretch, having built right up
to it from both sides.
The road was opened to traffic
last night, according to a telegram
received here by A. F. Ghiglione,
ARC Chief Engineer.
This should mean a busy two
months with traffic in both direc
tions, as Yukon residents go out
side for the winter and miners
haul in supplies for next spring.
Traffic probably will not warrant
winter main'enance after the mid
dle of December, Ghiglione said.
The new link in Alaska’s highway
system starts from a point on the
Alaska Highway about 10 miles
east of Tok .Junction, a place some
times identified as Dawson Junc
tion. It will be officially named
Tetlin Junction.
On a route north by east, the
first 65 miles goes to Chicken,
thence 23 miles to Jack Wade, then
15 miles east to Eoundary on the
Alaska-Yukon border. There, it
connects with a low-standard min
ing road to Dawson, built during
the war.
The Alaska section just completed
was built by the ARC during the
past four summers at a cost of
$3,000,000.
From Jack Wade, the new read
from the Alaska Highway will be
extended 59 miles north to Eagle
Alaska, on the Yukon River.
