TRUNK HIGHWAY
 SYSTEM Il URGED
 IN MEMORIAL
Legislative Measure Would Instruct FRA 10 Make
 Preliminary Survey


 Proposals for trunk highway system for Alaska were brought into the realm of definite legislative &C., tion today when Rep Amer J. Pet erson of Anchorage introduced in the Territorial Legislature a mem- orial urging Congress to instruct the Public Roads Administration to make preliminary surveys for such system.
 The memorial mentions the me cessity of an ocean outlet at Haines and proposes that a 30-mile road and two-mile rock fill across the head of Turnagain Arm would join the Kenai system of roads with the Anchorage system.
 Proposed transfer of the ocean terminus of the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Passage Canal and abandonment of 66 miles of railroad line would cut off the Kenai Pen insula from any transportation con- nection with the rest of the Terri tory and isolate a $2,000,000 system of local roads, the memorial states

 Improvement in Health Conditions

Kaarlo w. Nasi, Director, Division of Public Health Engineering, Ter ritorial Department of Health, has returned from a routine inspection trip to the interior cities.
 Water supplies, sewerage and sew age disposal methods were checked in the coastal and Interior towns. Coastal water supplies were inspect ed for certification for use in inter state commerce carriers.
 Conferences were held with Army and local health authorities reg gard- ing sanitation matters. | Many improvements in environ mental sanitation were noted Milk l supplies were improved particularly by the recent construction of Grade A Pasteurization plants in Anchor age, Palmer and Fairbanks. Clean, wholesome milk afforded the added protection of pasteurization should bring about the necessary increase in milk consumption in that area, MT. NaSi said
 Consistent improvement has been noted in food establishment sanita- ticn in Interior communities by MT. L. A. Morley, Senior Sanitarian for the Division, now based in Anchor fage.
 The rapid population growth and increased activity in Alaskan com munities brought about by the Ma tional Defense program has placed an added responsibility upon local and Territorial health agencies in the control of environmental sani- tation and public health, said MT. Nasi.

Unanimous on Non-resi- dent Governor Memorial
 -To Journey fo Siikd

Appropriation measures totaling $83,100 were passed by the House this morning as the Territorial Leg iSlature began the second week of it's 18th session.
 Passed unanimously was the de- ficiency bill allowing $500 for the Registrar of Vital Statistics, $20,00O for hair seal bounties and $60,000 for general relief. Also receiving a unanimous vote was a bill by Rep Allen Shattuck of Juneau appro- priating $l,O00 for transportation of indigents to the Pioneers Home.

 The House divided 13 to three on the other appropriation measure passed today This is a joint reso- lution introduced by Senator Nor man R. (Doc) Walker of Ketchi- kan provided $500 for transporting Legislators to Sitka and Goddard to visit the Pioneers Home. Reps. James V. Davis, Charles Herbert and Crystal Snow Jenne voted against after Davis argued mem bers could probably find free trans portation, or much cheaper trans portation, if they just looked around for it. He offered to take members to Sitka and Goddard on the Els tebeth, leaving any Saturday mid night and returning any Tuesday midnight at an overall cost of $200 for transportation and meals.
 But both Senator Walker and Rep. Leo Rogge, Chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Territorial Institutions, favor mak- ing the trip on the Northland, and Walker announced this afternoon the voyage would be made on the Northland if the ship arrives here tomorrow. Special arrangements have been made so that the LegiS- lators will have a full day in Sitka.
 Governor Bill Passes
 The House passed by unanimous vote this morning the memorial by Davis and Harvey Smith asking Congress to pass the Dimond bill which would forbid appointment of any nonresident as Governor of Alaska.
 The Senate this morning read and passed the Walker resolution for the trip to Sitka and read a reso- lution by the Fairbanks Junior Chamber of Commerce urging the Legislature to appropriate $5,000 for Donald Macdonald to allow him to continue his work as member of the International Highway Com mission. An appropriation in the same amount was made for Mac Donald two years ago.
