GOVERNOR PLEADS
FOR BALANCED BUDGET

JUNEAU - Pleading for a bal aneed budget and pointing out he does not consider the proposed bud get Of some IT million dollars for
 the next biennium extravagant, Governor Ernest Gruening deliver
 ed State of the Territory mes sage ta the 18th regular session of the Territorial Legislature on Jan
 25 after it had formally convened Monday. The Governor said that inflationary trends have added greatly ta the cost of government and this condition coupled win de- mand for extended government ser vices, particularly in the fields of education, public health and wei fare which were neglected during the war years, make it necessary for th Territory to raise and ex- pend more money in carrying on it's normal functions while laying the groundwork for statehood.
 Stressing school needs particu
 larly construction of which there has been none since 1940. the Gov ernor said 59 school buildings are required by conervative estimate to care for ever-inereasing enrell- ment. In Achorage and Fairbanks, he pointed ont, the schools are on double shift-half the children att tend classes in the morning, the other half in the afternoon be- cause of limited space. A similar situation is developing other lo- calities as new families come to the Territory. At present high cost levels, he quoted Dr. James c. Ryan, Commissioner of Education, as estimating cost Of necessary con struction within incorporated towns at this time at s7 645,O00 and in rural districts S1,260,6S0, or a total of sS,905,6S0 for school building alone. This does not in- clude the University of Alaska which has had no construction nor repair since before the war, he said; nor odes it include the school program of the Alaska Native Ser vice which has been abandoning schools in some localities, throw
