Increased appropriations for edu-
cation and welfare will be sought
by GOYernOr-elect Ebert n. Carvel
when he takes Office on January Is.
The gOveTnOr-elect said this week
that the major changes he will ad-

urged the adoption of a S2,400 min

annual increments of $3.50 each.
All Teachers Affected
Should such a program be put
into effect starting July /. 1949.
with all teachers in the state re-
ceiving their maximum allowed
benefits at once, the additional cost
would amount to about $2,064, 900
for the next fiscal year. and about
S96 900 for the second year of the
biennium. it has been estimated.
This is based on estimates that
of approximately 1900 school tea
chers in the state, 1900 have serv-
ed 10 years or more, while about
300 have served five to nine years
and about 300 have served one tC
four years inclusive.

} Mr.. Carvel has not indicated how
ever. whether he will recommend
putting the proposed new scale int
effect Immediately or with transi

amount of raise any one teache,
could receive in any one year.

the total interim operating reve-

RESUME OF INTERIM AGREEMENT

The Alaska Steamship Company
recently released cost figures Oh
the interim agreement operation
together. with detailed information
concerning the elements of the
agreement, in a report to its
Leo Mccormack. local company
agent, commenting on the release
said, Admiral F. A. zeusler, ex-
.ecutive assistant to the president
clearly presented the reasoning be-
hind this release when he said,
The problem of Alaska shipping
is one of the most frequently dis
eussed subjects in the territory.
The subject itself is highly COM
pick in nature and as a conse-
quence the facts are often misun-
derstood or distorted. The result
is that Alaskans sometimes find
themselves confused in a maze of
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1949-09-09

Another point that is not gen
orally realized" he continued, is
taht the Alaska Line is not receiy-
ing any help from the government
whatsoever at this time, and hasn't
been since the termination of the
last voyage under the interim
agreement. The fact that the con-
gress passed legislation permitting
the extension of the agreement has
confused many into thinking that
it was extended. Actually, the Mar
thine Commission did not choose
to extend the plan, so it was ter
minated June 80, 1948."
"Since that time the Alaska
Company has not only
