Public Health Hospital Survey and Construction

For survey and planning Sl0,- 900 and for construction $40, 200; those are preliminary estimates of allotmentS to Alaska under the Hospital Survey and Construction Act which President Truman signed on August 13..
 At the Extraordinary Session of the legislature this spring legisla- ton was enacted for a survey of the hospital facilities and estab- liShment of a plan in order that the Territory might receive the benefits of the federal act. Both acts call for a survey of the over all needs for hospitals and allied facilities and the preparation of Territorial plan for all future hos pital constructions. The responSi- bility for the survey and future planning for hospital construction has been designated to the Terri torial Department of Health.
 Although the federal bill au- thorizes appropriations up to $75,- 000,000 each year, no federal funds have yet been appropriated for construction. When the con- struction funds are made avail able, the Territorial survey must be completed and the Alaska plan approved before construction ap- plications can be accepted by the U. s. Public Health Service.
 Construction applications must be submitted to the Territorial Department of Health and recom- mended by the department to the Surgeon General.
 Since the Hospital Survey for Construction Act calls for match ing funds on 2 to l basis, any application for construction must give assurance that two-thirds of the total cost of the construction project will be available from non-federal funds.
 Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health, states, "The survey authorized under
