Army Engineer
Enroute to Alaska
Inspect District
SEATTLE, July 24, —(A*)— Col.
Theron D. Weaver, Norm Pacific
Division Army Engineer, en route
to inspect the new Alaska En
gineering District headquarters at
Anchorage, said the war’s im
petus to Alaskan development and
the scope of War Department
housing construction and project
ed civil works necessitated estab
lishment of a separate Engineer
District for the Territory.
Col. Weaver, whose Division
Engineer headquarters are at
Portland, directs military and civ
il works assignments of the Seat
tle .Alaska and Portland Engin
eer Districts.
Afetr conferring with Col.
JamesD. Lang, Alaska District
Engineer, Colonel Weaver will
inspect the housing programs un
der construction at Ft. Richardson
and Ladd Field.
“Now that the war is over and
families of soldiers and c vilian
personnel are able to go to Alas
ka,” Weaver said, “it is important
to the well-being of army per
sonnel that we have adequate,
livable housing in the Territory.
These housing projects not only
mean families may be together
but that quarters in home States
of personnel will be vacated to
relieve shortages.”
Returning, Weaver will stop at
Juneau to inspect the joint lum
ber production program of the
Alaskan Department and the U. S.
Forest Service in a plan to obtain
30 million board fet of lumber
for the housing construction pro
gram in the coming year.
“This Alaskan lumber means a
great deal to Alaska and the West
Coast,” Weaver pointed out, since

it will develop an Alaskan resource
and industry and will leave lum
ber supplies in the States for the
critical housing program. Plans
to utilize Southeastern Alaskan
lumber for the Ft. Richardson and
Lj dd Field apartments and bar-!
racks now depend upon trans
portaoitn between Juneau and
Seward for the rail haul inland.”'
Establishment of the Alaska En- i
; gineer District with emphasis on
Alaskan development will not de
tract from Pacific Northwest im
portance to or trade with the Ter
ritory, Weaver said, adding:
"Personnel and supplies will
continue to funnel through Seat
tle which will gain from numbers
of people and tremendous am
ounts of material necessarily en
route north.”
