prospectus, ne adueQ, especially those within reasonable distances of rail- road lines, is considered very import ant to the industrial life and future welfare of Alaska.
 In the Fairbanks-N Nenana district the Steese highway is nearly com pleted, only surfacing remaining to be done. It IS already in use and in dications are that it will become a very popular route.
 Another project of importance is the connection of Ruby with the Long -Poorman districts, in which there are important mineral resources to be exploited. This road may event. uaiiy be extended south to Ophlr and lditarod, which is now very poorly served from transportation stand point. This area has a very large amount of placer ground which could be worked profitably if transo ;tion can be provided for the necessary ma chinery, supplies and fuel.
 The Fairbanks-Chena Hot Springs route has been accommodated and is considered favorably for future de- velopment when the Commission has available the necessary financial re- sources Several developments are now in progress there. II such q road were constructed, it wol,,l be ln direct line with the Eagle -Fortymile district
 In Southwestern Alaska.
 In the Southwestern section of Alaska serious consideration has been given to road from Iliamna Bay to Lake Iliamna. It is needed for the development of mineralized regions around the north shore of Lake lii anna and in the Lake Clark region. The proposed road would shorten the present line of supply from Seward by about 1000 miles, and the Commits sion's attitude toward construction is favorable, Major Elliott said, when ever sufficient funds are available.
 A reasonable extension of the Ko- diak Island road system seems to be justified, he added. It is needed to serve the activities of the Depart ment of Agriculture and various farming interests located on the island.
 Cache Creek Extension.
 In the Talkeetna region, there is said be need for short extension of the Cache creek road in order to reach mining property in the vicinity of Peters creek.
 The road system in the Willow Creek k-Matanuska-W -Wasilla district is in need of reasonable extension to reach new mining property now being developed.
 On Seward Peninsula, it is hoped by he Commission that some exten- sion may be made to the Nome -Shel- ton tramroad. In the Kougarok coun- try there are a number of hydraulic operations that are working under a from the transportation 
 In Southeastern Alaska.
 In Southeastern Alaska most of the roads are in national forest areas and are built and maintained by the U. s. Bureu of Public Roads. However, the Commission has a short system radi- ating from Haines. The Haines- Pleasant Camp road requires only an- nual maintenance. A new project is under consideration for the construc- tion of a short road to Chilkoot, in which area there are very promising agricultural projects. A number of have taken up land here and there remains additional area for similar development.

INCREASE 3l2
Bonds To Be Voted On Sat.
urday Would Make Room
For New Pupils

An increase in the Brownsville in
dependent school district. scholastic
census of 312 over the previous year
as announced Thursday was seen by
proponents of the S75, 900 bond issue
to be voted on Saturday as a further
reason for the passage Of the is
sue which would be used to provide
facilities for more pupils here.
The 1929-3O census is 1888 as
compared to 4421 for last year. In
addition to the increase this year
and the regular gain next year. a
new state law provides that the
1930-31 census include six-year-olds.
The six-year-olds are expected to
increase the scholastic population
by from 300 to 400.
The $4,000 issue would be used to
remodel the old grammar school
and to construct and equip a six
room ward school in Alta Vista.
These two structures will relieve the
stress placed on the new grammar
school and cut down the distance
for the young pupils to travel.
No opposition to the old board Of
trustees has developed and the
names of Harbert Davenport, Ike A.
Dudley, j. S. Graham and 0. v.
Lawrence, all old members of the
board, have been presented in petit
ton and placed on the ballot for
the election Saturday. They will be
elected for a term of two years.
Holdovers on the board are Sher-
wood Bishop. r. B.. Creager and
Cleve H. Tandy.
The election will be conducted by
Henry M. Shelton, Jr., at the old
grammar school building on Ninth
between Adams and Madison. The
polls will be open from s a.. m. until
z D. m.
Plans for the two school struc-
lures, drawn jointly by Ben V. Proc
tor Of Brownsville and Phelps and
Devices of San Antonio, have been
approved by the trustees. If the
issue is passed, it is planned to i'm
mediately call for bids for the sale

TEACHERS NAME
EDUCATION AIMS
IN RESOLUTIONS
Opportunity Equalization,
Study of Taxation
Are Urged.

Equality Of educational opportu-
mites, revision Of methods for text
book adoption and a study Of school
taxation to increase state aid were
among recommendations in resolu-
tons adopted today by the Indiana
State Teachers Association.
The teachers turned down rec
ommednation that "the state board
Of education be authorized to ap-
point a commissioner of education
who shall be vested with full au-
thority to direct the educational ac-
tivities of Indiana"
At present the Office Of state su-
perintendent Of public instruction
Is elective.
Efforts Of the state department
to promote a school Of the air were
commended.
The association suggested a COM
nittee of tax and public school
fnaace experts be appointed to
make a survey with a view of max
ing recommendations "for equaliz-
ing more fully both the tax burden
in our state and educational oppor-
tunity for all"
The recommendation was in &C
cord with the inaugural message Of
Ralph N. TREY, Bloomington, as
ISOLATION president, Thursday night.
There are differences between
urban and rural communities, in
respect to teaching materials, quail
ity Of instruction buildings and
equipment, length of the school
term. libraries and other educa-
tional factors" said TREY.
There is no justification for neg
Letting children who live in less
favored sections of the state. We
have failed to realize the democratic
ideal Of equality Of opportunity be-
cause the state as a unit has fur
nished too small a part of necessary
funds for public education" he con-
tinued.
