Federal Budget
To Include Alaska
Highway Funds
Funds feu Alaska highway stud
ies is to be included in the 1963
federal budget if appropriate ieg
idation is enacted, the Bureau of
the Budget has informed Sen. Er
nest Gruening.
Gruening introduced a joint res
olution, during the last session of
Congress, that would authorize
appropriations for the purpose of
these studies and surveys, rel
ative to a road building program
in Alaska. The resolution was not
enacted before adjournment, but
it received a recommendation and
endorsement by the Commerce
Department.
The Bureau of the Budget letter
to the senator stated that while
there is no present authorization
for the special funds “it is cus
tomary to provide for an allow
ance for contingencies in the bud
get to cover requests which may
develop as a result of enactment
of legislation which cannot be
specifically forecast at the time
the budget is made." It then de
clared the 1963 budget will con
tain sufficient funds to cover the
Alaska contingency.
Senator Gruening pointed out
that Alaska was “deprived of fed
eral aid highway funds 40 years
from 1916 to 1956—although pay
ing all federal taxes . . . when it
became a state only two of its
major cities were connected by
roads. The majority of its cities
were not, a situation unthinkable
in the other 49 states."
If Alaska had shared on an
equal basis with other states in
road building programs, Alaska’s
share “by now would have reach
ed the $575 million figure. In
stead, Alaska has received only
$81.7 million since 1916,” Gruen
ing said.

FHA Housing
Loans Available
To Rural Areas
Under the new law which went
into effect October 15, owners of
housing sites in rural areas and
in small communities of less than
2.500 people, may be eligible for
housing loans through Farmers
Home Administration.
Loans can be made for construc
tion, repair, and remodeling of
dwellings including modifications
such as adding bathrooms, install
ing central heating or a modern
kitchen.
The new legislation makes rural
housing loans available for con
struction of fallout and storm
shelters, too.
The interest rate is four per
cent per year on the unpaid bal
ance of the loan and loans may
be scheduled for repayment over
periods up to 33 years.
To be elig'ble an applicant
must own a farm or a housing site
in a rural aiea or in a small rural
community; be without decent,
safe and sanitary housing; be un
able to obtain the needed credit
from otho. sources; and be with
out sufficient resources to pro
vide the necessary housing on his
own account. To obtain a loan, the
applicant must have or be able to
obtain enough income to meet
payments on all his debts and
also to take care of his other ex
penses.
Another element of the new leg
islation that might be of use to
many Alaskans deals with em
ergency housing repairs. Rural
families who need emergency
housing repaii s and do not have
the ability to repay a loan may
be able to obtain a small grant
for such purposes as roof repairs
or measures needed to provide a
sanitary water supply.
