GOV. PARKS’ MESSAGE TO

(Continued from Page 3.)
will be necessary for the Territory to
have an acceptable organization qual
ified to mee the .requirements that
may be imposed by the Federal gov
ment, and I am of the opinion that
this cannot be achieved under the
present system of selecting the com
missioner of education.”
Boxing as a Territorial institution,
the Governor said, {pays its own way.
Members of the boxing commission
have diligently and effectively l per
formed their duties and the receipts
deposited by them with .the treasurer
exceed the appropriation made for
the commission’s expenses.
The Historical Library and Mu
seum in its specially designed quar
ters in the new Capital is able to play
i its part more effectively. The Gov
ernor recommended that the building
formerly occupied by it and other*
Territorial offices be loaned to the
city of Juneau for a public library
building, probided the municipality
pays the costs of its upkeep. The.
present site, he added, should be a
part of the park that some day will

Under the present method, he said,
