[S. 3728.] [Public, No. 26.] CHAP. 277.- An Act To provide for the construction and maintenance of roads, the establishment and maintenance of schools, and the care and support of insane persons in the district of Alaska, and for other purposes. Alaska. Liquor, trade, etc., license fees outside incorporated towns to constitute the "Alaska fund." Vol. 30, p. 1336. Post. p. 1241. Division and use of fund. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all moneys derived from and collected for liquor licensee, occupation, or trade licenses outside of the incorporated towns in the district of Alaska shall be deposited in the Treasury Department of the United States, there to remain as a separate and distinct fund, to be known as the "Alaska fund" and to be wholly devoted to the purposes hereinafter stated in the district of Alaska. One-fourth of said fund, or so much thereof as may be nec- essary, shall be devoted to the establishment and maintenance of Public schools in said district; five per centum of said fund shall be evoted to the care and maintenance of insane persons in said district, or so much of said five per centum as may be needed; and all the resi- due of said fund shall be devoted to the construction and maintenance of wagon roads, bridges, and trails in said district. Construction of wagon roads, etc. Board of road com- missioners to be ap- pointed by Secretary of War. Powers of board. Maps, etc. Bids. Supervision and ex- amination of work. Report. Repairs. sec. 2. That there shall be a board of road commissioners in said district, to be composed of an engineer officer of the United States Army to be detailed and appointed by the Secretary of War, and two other officers of that part of the Army stationed in said district and to be designated by the Secretary of War. The said engineer officer shall, during the term of his said detail and appointment, abide in said district. The said board shall have the power, and it shall be their duty, upon their own motion or upon petition, to locate, lay out, con- struct, and maintain wagon roads and pack trails from any point on the navigable waters of said district to any town, mining or other industrial camp or settlement, or between any such town, camps, or settlements therein, if in their judgment such roads or trails are needed and will be of permanent value for the development of the district; but no such road or trail shall be constructed to any town, camp, or settlement which is wholly transitory or of no substantial value or importance for mining, trade, agricultural, or manufacturing purposes. The said board shall prepare maps, plans, and specifications of every road or trail they may locate and lay out, and whenever more than five thousand dollars in the aggregate shall have to be expended on the construction of any road or trail, contract for the work shall be let by them to the lowest responsible bidder, upon sealed bids, after due notice, under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secre- tary of War. The board may reject any bid if they deem the same unreasonably high or if they rind that there is a combination among bid- ders. In case no responsible and reasonable bid can be secured, then the work may be carried on with material and men procured and hired by the board. The engineer officer of the board shall in all cases super- vise the work of construction and see that the same is properly per- formed. As soon as any road or trail laid out by the board has been constructed and completed they shall examine the same and make a full and detailed report of the work done on the same to the Secretary of War, and in such report they shall state whether the road or trail has been completed conformable to the maps, plans, and specifications of the same. It shall be the duty of said board, as far as practicable, |
