Atty. Gen. Says Legislature Cannot Set Up School Service Areas

JUNEAU R Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody said Thursday the Legis- lature does not have the power to establish school service areas comparable to an incorporated school district under the provi- sions of the 196l borough law.
 In an opinion for Dr. Theo J. Norby, State Commissioner of Education, Moody said the bor- ough law approved by the last Legislature permits the Legisla- ture to establish service areas within unorganized boroughs.
 Moody said, however, that the Legislature could not grant the same powers of fiscal autonomy to such a school service area as to an incorporated school district.
 Additionally, Moody said the Legislature would be prevented by Section 2, Article xI of the State Constitution from accom- plishing this fiscal autonomy by authorizing school service areas to submit their budgets to the people by referendum.
 While Moody's opinion made no mention of a recent Ford Founda- ton study of Alasla's school sys- tenn, the use of the referendum as; a means of accomplishing fiscal autonomy for school adminis- trative units" the study proposed was a key point in the Ford Foundation report.
 Moody's opinion explained that there is only one incorporated school district in the state, at Am goon. This district is the only school district within Alaska which has the powers of local taxation and independent fiscal control.
 This form of school organiza- tion will end July I, 1863, at the conclusion of the transitional peril cd provided by the 1861 borough law.
 The more common independent school districts lack fiscal ii1de- pendencc because any city of the first class within such an inde- pendent district has the power to review and adjust its budget for the district.
 In answer to another question from Norby, Moody said the Leg islature could establish school service areas within unorganized borc;sghs and could authorize the levy of taxes within the service area, but Moody said the Legis- lature could not delegate its tax ing powers to the service area.
 Under the State Constitution, the state may delegate taxing powers only to organized bor- oughs and cities, Moody's opinion SC <3

ANCHORAGE d, = State Fed eration of Labor lobbyist Henry Iceberg served notice yesterday that the Federation in the coming session of the Legislature will seek. among other things, more unemployment benefits, an in crease in the minimum wage, a wage increase for state employees and general state property tax.
 The minimum wage in the state should be $2 an hour. said He'd berg. .."The present minimum t$l.50) is not realistic in the AL asla of today and far too many persons in the state are taking advantage of inc present law and depriving homesteaders. z,ativss and the unorganized of fhe state of decent living and fair wage. conducive 10 standard Of living guaranteeing a certain freedom from hunger and indebtedness. z he said.
 Natives, homesteaders n d youths just out of school are be- ing hired at the minimum hourly wage to work side by side with other workmen drawing more than twice as much for the same days work, Hedberg said.
 The Federation will seek an in- crease in unemployment insur- ance to bring the basic nsmaln weekly benefits up to 60 per cent of the average weekly xgase for a period of 36 weeks, he said.
 The State Department of Labor must be provided with more funds "so that t may enforce the many provisions of the (wage, hour) act which are now being wantonly flouted by industry and individuals, who have TO regard Tor the state laws or humanity as 3 whole. he said.
 In addition to an across-the- board wage increase for state er1l- ployes, full lime and a half should be paid them for work in excess Of the regular work week, said the lobbyist. 2
 Hedberg also called for a "lib- cralization' Of the state employees retirement system and ssupgrad- ing of the Merit System, now one of the worst in the nation"

concentrations for ending any
manpoWer waste both to the
agencies involved and to Mr..
Kennedy.
Any action taken by the
administration to end wasteful
manpower practices, if and
when such things are uncov-
cred. would be much preferable
to any across the board meat
ak approach taken by Con-
greSS.
The trouble with an across
aboard Government employ
ment cut is that the conScien-
tious agencies who operate with
the minimum number of neces-
sary employees are the ones
which are really hurt. Agen-
cies which are already over
stated are not too badly af-
fected, since they can afford to
lose the excessive padding of
employment.
And, Of course, the employees
adversely affected are the most
hurt Of all. In any across
the-board employment cut, the
younger employees without suf-
ficient seniority and those with
out veterans preference are the
most vulnerable. even though
they may constitute some Of
the best talent in a depart
ment or agency.
