Postponement of Organizing Boroughs Gets Lengthy Going Over at Hearing

JUNEAU R - A bill which would, in effect, postpone the mandatory date for the organiza- tion of boroughs until 1870 got lengthy going over at a public hearing before the Senate Local Government Committee Wednes- day.
 The measure which was intro- duced by Sen. Al Owen would simply permit special service dis tricts, such as school districts and public utilities districts, to con- tinue to function past the current July l, 1863 deadline.
 Under the borough law as it now stands, such special service districts must either be integrated into city or organized borough government by next July, or they will become service areas in an overall unorganized borough, which will be under the jurisdiction of the legislature.
 Owen said the proposed legis- lation was designed to provide those areas which feel they are not ready for borough government yet couple of more years to get into it.
 "I would like to see the areas that want organized boroughs go ahead and establish them and work the bugs out," Owen said. Some of the smaller areas have never yet engaged in financing or floating local bond issues, and for some of them it is simply not economically feasible. "I feel that the Local Affairs Agency has been pressuring these areas to comply with the statute for boroughs, and I think it's un- reasonable"

Alaska Schools
 Received 50 Million In Federal Impact Funds Since 1851

WASHINGTON tR - More than $50 million has been allocated to Alaska since 1851 when the gov ernment started to give aid to school districts affected by federal activities.
 The money is provided under two acts: Public Law STA, for aid to current operating expenses, and Public Law SIS, for construction of school facilities.
 The existence, within or near a school district, of federal property on which school children live or their parents are employed is the principal basis on which payments to local educational agencies are authorized.
 The Alaska payment was $6,808,- 231 for operating expenses in the year ended last June 30, the Office of Education said in a summary issued this week.
 Alaska allotments under that program have increased annually since the first entitlement of $l04,- 689 in fiscal year 1851. Under the construction aid pro- gram, $11 ,461, ,378 was reserved for Alaska from 1851 through 1862 Last years allotment was $56,
 The cost of building minimum ! school facilities in Alaska went down, according to the Office o1 Education's latest estimates. The per-pupil construction cost was re- ported at $2,11O in fiscal 1861, com pared with $2,630 the previous year.
 Among the Alaska net entitle- ments to federal funds under the operating expense program Publie Law 874 several representative schools are listed followed by the recipients expenditures for fiscal year 1862:
 | Alaska Department of Educa- tion, Juneau, $5,356,724 fedora, entitlements and $7,338,O0O ex. penditures; Kodiak independent school district $43,03O and $548,. 9O7; Fairbanks independent schoo. district $24O,328 and $2,627,5 ,563 Nome public school district $17,31e and $352,O Seward public schools $23,979 and $365, ,OOO.

Senate Gives Approval to Suffer
 Requirements for Placing Initiatives, Referendums or Recalls on the Ballot

the ballot, rather than tamper with the Constitution"
 Sen. w. o. Smith, of Ketchikan, told the Senate it was not true that the legislature is attempting to take something away from the people, as Phillips had stated.
 "All we can do is to initiate a proposed constitutional m n d. ment. The people still have to ap- prove it."
 Bronson, defending the proposed constitutional amendment, said that under the present provisions, "all you have to do is get most of your signatures from one district and one signature from each of num- Der of other districts
 Constitution Too Lax
 Bronson said he felt the Consti- tuition was too lax in dealing with initiatives, referendums and recalls and should be frightened up. He said the capital relocation issue pointed up this flaw"
 'The capital relocation was brought up by a handful of people and it has been perpetuated by a handful of people" Bronson said.
 Begich said he opposed the pro- posed change as a matter of prin- ciple, and not for specific reasons, such as the capital relocation ques- ton.
 Sen. Harold z. Hansen, of Cor dova, with obique reference to the capital relocation issue, comment ed:
 "I don't think it is a healthy condition when the states one large urban area reaches the point where it can deny the smaller communities the right to veto a proposal which affects all.
 'The resolution recognizes both area and population"
 R. J. McNealy and Al Owen said the proposed amendment would tighten the Constitution, "and rightly so," so both population and area become considerations.

Rep. John Rader said he thought the borough organization should go ahead as planned.
 T think that local functions are better handled on local level than by the state," Rader said.
 If we don't require these areas to organize, then we are creating a situation where we are penal lzlng the area that is willing to shoulder its responsibilities.
 We all pay state income taxes. but this is asking people also to take on local taxes. And if we per- init free riders to get approximate ly the same services from the state, such as schools and police pro- lection, they'll put off trying to meet their own problems"
 Sen. John Coghill said the people in his area were studying the possibility of organizing into a borough ''but they shouldn't be pushed"
 Speaking for the Alaska Muni- clpal League, Don Berry said his group opposed the measure.
 "1f you delay the organization of boroughs until 1870, then you'll go through the same old hassle at that time. Meanwhile, the cities and the state will be stuck with the fringe area problems they now have"
 Joe Matyi of the Local Affairs Agency pointed out that second class boroughs simply required one more function than that al- ready performed by school dis tricts - the function of planning and zoning.

JUNEAU R-The Senate passed and sent to the House Thursday a proposed amendment to the State Constitution which would stiffen the requirements for placing initia- lives, referendums or recalls on the ballot.
 The vote on the measure was 16-3 for passage. Voting against the resolution were Sens. Brad Phillips and Vance Phillips, An chorage Republicans, and Nicholas Begich, Spenard Democrat.
 As the measure cleared the Sem ate, it would require sponsors of an initiative, referendum or recall to obtain supporting signatures from 10 per cent of the voters in each of at least 10 of the states 19 election districts.
 Under the present wording of the Constitution, sponsors need only obtain the signatures of 10 per cent of the voters of the state, who are resident in two-thirds of the dis tricts in the state.
 They are not required to obtain a specific number of signatures in each district.
 Centered on Capital Relocation
 Debate on the resolution, which must win the two-thirds approval in the House and majority ap- proval of the voters before an actual change in the Constitution could be made, centered around the capital relocation issue.
 Brad Phillips told the Senate that the resolution, introduced by Lester Bronson, Pearse Walsh and Neal Foster, was designed to cur tail the use of the initiative, re- ferendum and recall.
 "The only time tins provision of the Constitution has been used has been in connection with the capital relocation issue" Phillips said.
 Phillips said he believed the proposed change was too sweeping.
 "We are following a dangerous path if any body of persons as small as the legislature is to de- termine what the people may vote on.
 ''If the people who introduced this don't want the capital issue on the ballot, they should have the courage to introduce a bill say ing that the issue shall not be on
