Governor Strong has forwarded to
the Provost Marshal General, Wash
; ington, D. c., his recommendations
in the matter of the appointment of
exemption boards under the military
selective draft law, and has outlined
the general plan under which it is
proposed these boards shall work.
The plan proposed by the Governor
provides for the City Exemption
Board in each of the sixteen incor-
porated towns of the Territory, with
Divisional Exemption Board in each
of the four judicial divisions. The
City Board will pass upon the quail
fications and exemption claims of all
persons who are selected, and the Di-
visional boards will act as boards of
review in the consideration of such
cases as may be appealed from the
decisions of the City boards.
The City Exemption Boards in each
judicial division will have concurrent
jurisdiction throughout such division.
A person who has been registered in
one of the Incorporated towns will,
OF course, be required to report to
the exemption board for the town in
which he is registered, unless circum-
stances make it impracticable to so
report, in which event provision will
hn 10 no II
'emption board more conveniently
available. Persons who reside in pre-
cincts outside of the incorporated
towns, and who have registered in
such outside precincts, may report to
any of the City Exemption boards
within the limits of the judicial divi-
sion in which they reside.
Under the plan outlined, residents
of the First Judicial Division will re-
port to the exemption boards in one
of the following incorporated towns
in that division:
Douglas, Haines. Juneau, Ketchi-
kan, Petersburg, Skagway, Wrangell.
Persons registered in the Second Ju-
dicial Division will report to the eX-
emptiOn board for the town of Nome.
Persons regitered in the Third Judi
cial Division will report to the eXemp-
tion board in one of the following
towns: Cordova, Valdez, Seward. Per-
sons registered in the Fourth Division
will report to the exemption board
in one of the following named towns:
Chena, Eagle, Fairbanks, Iditarod,
Tanana.
