 For the current fiscal year Con- gress appropriated $l7,OOO,O00 to meet l948 obligations, plus con tract authorization of $l2,000,000. With these funds it is possible to push ahead rapidly with the rail- road rehabilitation program. Dur ing l948, there were laid 66 miles of new ll5-pound rail and orders were placed for delivery by March or April, l949, of sufficient ll5- pound rail to lay l34 additional miles. New terminal facilities at Anchorage and Fairbanks are un- der construction; additional hOuS- ing is being provided for employ ees, and new steel bridges and treStles are replacing outWorn wooden structures.
 Roads: During the year there was available for the construction of new roads, and for main tenance of existing roads a total of $40,- 017,052, which amount included a contract authorization of S17,904,- 900.
 Included in the program, on which active work is going for ward, is the Turnagain Arm Road a vital link of the through high way from Seward and the Kenai Peninsula to Anchorage and the main road system of the Territory. For this project, funds were se- cured in the total amount of $ll,- 37O ,O0O, of which S7,370,000 is in cash and $4,OOO,OOO in contract au- thorization.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Definite progress was made during l948 with respect to the es- tablishment of the pulp-paper in dustry in Alaska. A contract was entered into between the Forest Service and private interests cov- ering the cutting of timber in the Tongass National Forest and the construction of pulp mill near Ketchikan. Negotiations for a sim liar project near Sitka are in pro- cess and it may soon be possible to enter into a similar contract for the establishment of a pulp mill in that area. These developments are bringing a new industry into the Territory, one which will fur nish employment to thousands of residents, both natives and whites.

PARCEL POST ZONING

Alaska in the past has had to pay eighth zone rates for parcel post shipments between points in the Territory. In l948, it was placed on more equal footing with the States in the shipment of parcel post packages by the ex- tension to the Territory of parcel post zoning regulations hitherto effective in the States. This is al ready enabling Alaskans to es- tablish small mail order business es and permits Alaskan merchants to compete with concerns in the

States in the distribution of sup plies and equipment throughout the Territory. The new parcel post regulations will add one more step to upbuilding Alaska's economy.

AVIATION

The Eightieth Congress made $l3,500,O00 available for the con- srtuction of major air fields at Anchorage and Fairbanks. These are in addition to existing air fields, both military and civilian. This is a big step forward in avia- tion history in Alaska; one which placed the Territory in the fore front of international air trans portation by providing for ade- quate facilities along the main route to the Orient.

HEALTH

With the assistance of team of physicians from the American Medical Association which made a survey of Alaska's medical and health needs, and of the U. s. Pub lie Health Service, a health pro- gram for Alaska was set up. Funds were secured from Congress for the construction of a hospital for natives at Anchorage at a total cost of S6,000,O00, of which $75,- 900 in cash was made immediately available for the preparation of plans and estimates and $5,925 ,000 was approved as a contract au- thorization. Construction of this hospital is expected to begin in the spring of l949.
 Funds were also secured in the amount of $400,000 for the imme- diate construction of four tuber- culosis isolation units to be oper- ated at four of the Indian Service hospitals in Alaska.
 The U. s. Public Health Service secured an appropriation of Sl,-

gations incurred since July 1, l948, amount to S4,449,63l.
 Other new roads now being built include the Kenai-Lake-Ho- mer Road of which 99 miles have been cleared and 72 miles sur faced, and the le-Forty Mile Alaska Highway Road on which 56 miles were cleared and 40 miles surf3ced.
 The road program now going ahead includes hard-surfacing the Richardson Highway, the Glenn Highway, and the Alaska High way. Arrangements were made during l948 to begin this work early in 1949. Maintenance work was perform ed on 2,575 miles of road and on 80 miles of the Nome Tram Road.

PUBLIC LANDS

Through the restoration to the public domain of thousands of acres of land previously with drawn for military purposes, re- vision of Department regulations governing entry on the public do- main, and expansion of the land classification program, additional lands were made available for set clement and for business pur- poses( and land acquisition was made easier for the individual and for groups.
 Special legislation was secured to enable natives living within town limits to acquire unrestrict- ed title to their property.
