Alaska to Take Its First, Hesitant
 Step Into Borough Government Oct. l

cluded in this organized borough includes the area around Knik Arm, from Eklutna to Big Lake and perhaps as far as Sutton cn the Glenn Highway.
 School and city officials in the Ketchikan area have made in- quiries about the steps to be taken toward the creation of an organ ized borough, Pegues said, but as far as he knows, no studies have been started.
 Anchorage Takes No Steps
 Strangely" Pegues said, "the Anchorage district, which needs area government more than any other section of the state, has taken no steps to my knowledge toward borough government.
 Anchorage is a study in dis organized urban sprawl. AS the city expands toward the noun tains, drainage, for instance, is becoming major problem with the land deifudcd for new con- struction.
 "There is absolutely no regu- lation of land use.
 ssThcre is a definite need for a catalystic agent to get the An choraEe district started in the direction of an area government which is capable of confronting the problems which exist there. !"
 Pegues emphasized the need for local action in such areas as An chorage.
 'eThe people in these areas are the only ones who know what they really need" Pegues said. We can't tell them from the state level what it is they need
 Once they determine they have problems which can be solved through local government, it i: up to them to gather all of the in. formation possible and present i intelllgently to the people hvinl within the boundaries of the pro posed borough.
 "The Fairbanks group is mak ing just such an effort" Pegues said the Fairbanks study group plans to report it's findings to the public Sept. 28 under the auspices of the Fairbanks Area Action Committee.
 Pegues said no petitions for actual creation of an organized borough have been filed with his office, as required by the borough statute, and that he didn't anti cipate any filings until after Oct 1.
 He estimated, however, that Alaska would see it's first organ ized borough before another year

JUNEAU M = The State of Alaska takes it's first, hesitarIt step into borough government on Sunday, Oct. |
 Directed by the Constitution but ducked by the Legislature for three sessions, borough govern ment will mean little if anything to the man in the street--or in the bush--immediately.
 On Oct. |, as outlined by the 1961 statute implementing the local government article of the Constitution, Alaska will become one, huge unorganized borough.
 The statute also provides for the creation, by local action, of organized boroughs.
 Through organized boroughs, Alaskans outside of cities would receive, for the first time, gov ernment on a local level, through locally elected borough as- semblies.
 Needs are Myriad
 The needs which exist in rural areas, satellite communities and areas outside of existing school districts are myriad, Rodger w Pegues, Director of the State Local Affairs Agency, said.
 There is no regulation of land use. Public health services and controls are lacking. There are no provisions for the construction and maintenance of access roads. Fire and police protection are in- adequate or absent. Water and sewage and power facilities are needed.
 Yet, with the new provision for local government, only two areas of the state. according to Pegues, have made any concrete moves toward achieving self-rule through the organized borough.
 The Fairbanks area embarked shortly after the borough law was approved on an exhaustive study
 
 of it's school system, it's rural and urban problems and it's tax DO tential.
 The area being studied in the Fairbanks district as the base for an organized borough extends generally from standard, on the railroad, somewhat beyond Col 1ege and southeast down the high way to Harding Lake.
 A similar study is being con- ducted in the Matanuska and Susitna Valleys.
 The communities and school districts of Wasilla and Palmer are cooperating informally in the Matanusla- -Susitna study, Pegues said.

WILDER L. Norris, of 1928
North Glebe road, Arlington,

the vote was 624 in favor of

bership is about 1900 through

Baltimore to Richmond.
Mr.. Norris said a general
membership meeting has been

discuss the right of the execu-

Some, including Mr.. Norris,
favor partitioning the league
into two groups, one integrated
and the other segregated.
The American Contrac t
Bridge League, parent body of
the group, allows each unit
complete freedom in choosing
its members and probably

ABC Profits
ShareDOub|ed
ByFairfax

Fairfax County more than
doubled its share of the States
ABC profits last year as a re-
suit of population gains and
topped all counties of the
State.
Fairfax got $724,e21 as its
share Of liquor sales profits,
compared with $500, 1892 in
1860. and nosed out Arlington
County for first place among
counties.
Arlington still managed to
gain in profits, however, get
ting $478.043 this year, COM
pared with $473,674 in 1860.
This was reported today as
Virginia localities received
their share of the States ABC
profitS-plus nearly So million
from the general fund.
The total amount came to
$11 SOS, ,645-the same as last
years total but $1,901 ,029 shy
of the localities share of last
years profit from liquor sales,
the Associated Press reported.
The 1850 General Assembly,
which enacted the new 10 per
cent liquor tax, provided that
the total should not be less
this year than it was the year
before the tax took effect.
A steady decline last year in
liquor profits meant that the
State had to dip into the gen.
eral fund to produce the extra
money needed to comply with
that provision Of the law.
The profits may be used as
the localities see fit. Most
localities use the money for
schools.

at which the final settlement
might be determined even
should a summary judgment be
given first.
While the squabble contin-
ues, the clubhouse remains an
unfinished shell, its fate de-
pending on the outcome of the

The heart of Mr.. Davis case
is the contention that the
board of directors never in fact
ratified a "purported manage
ment agreement dated July IL,
1883" by which Lakewood
Management Corp, controlled
by the defendants, supposedly
was given management rights.
Payment Asked
The motion asks for payment
| of 100000 in management
and advisory fees from the
money collected and deposited
in the plaintiffs bank account" !"
It also alleges that the de-
PENDANTS diverted to other
causes $150,000 of a $275,000
sum collected from the clubs
life members for payment Of
excise taxes.
Another charge in the mo-
ton is that the defendants last
March assined management
rights and title to another
company after Judge Walsh
two days earlier had ordered
all contracts frozen pending
further study.
Mr.. Davis also contends the
promoters, although announc-
ing that life memberships
would comprise no more than
10 per cent of the total mem
bership, sold 1900 Of them as
against only TOO dueS-paying
members. They should have
known a country club could
not survive under such condi-
tionS, the attorneys said.

led to believe land adjoining

The Corporation Counsel's
office at Municipal Court has
adopted a tougher policy on
traffic offenders to insure that
only legitimate cases go to
traffic school. .-
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark F. King said sitter
screening is designed to avoid
abuses of the traffic school
system. for which he has moth
ing but praise. "a,
At traffic school, motorists
attend classes on driving tech
niqueS and District vehicle
regulations. The great lure is
that drivers can avoid penalty
points this way. ~
Violation points are of prime
concern to District motorists,
because licenses may be sus-
pended at 8 points or revoked
at IL points. -
The decision whether a traf-
fic offender goes to court-and
risks getting points-or to
traffic school is up to Mr.. King,
the Districts chief prosecutor
at Municipal Court, and his as
Sistants. .s-
Tighter screening was started
a month ago, Mr.. King said,
after he learned that over 1000
motorists were sent to school
during the first six months of
1861. This was a substantial
increase over previous figures.
After studying the figures,
Mr.. King decided on a two
step program to cut out the
largest area of possible laXity
and to provide more detailed
information about referralS.
First, he directed assistants
to stop referring motorists to
school in any case where pos
sible violation points could lead
to license suspension.
Second. he set up a new Sys-
tenn under which a prosecutor
referring a driver to traffic
school must make out a report
stating the reason the motoriSt
was sent.
