LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The following letter was
received last week from Linn
A, Forrest, Juneau Architect,
concerning the proposed Civ
ic Center-Armory for Homer,
The editor of the News had
written Forrest asking wheth
er or not, in his opinion,
the PUD had obligated itself
to pay approximately $750 as
its share of the architect’s
fee for drawing up the pre
liminary plans fbr the build
ing,
Mr, Bill Raver, Editor
Homer News
Honor, Alaska
Dear Mr, Raver:
Reference is made to your
letter of December 14, which
I apologize for being so long
in answering.
It seems that we are all
somewhat confused about the
proposed National Guard Ar
mory for Homer, so' I will ex
plain my understanding and
suggest that if any further
clarification is needed, a
letter might be addressed to
Lt* A. B. Bruck, Administra
tive Assistant, Office of the
Adjutant General in Juneau.
Lt. Bruck is presently in An
chorage in connection with
National Guard work and per
haps you could reach him
titere. If hot, perhaps a
letter to the Adjutant Gener
al's office, Box 351, Juneau,
would give you the informa
tion you would like.
■‘/hen I came to Honor, it
was with the purpose of re
questing the people there to
ro commend to the National
Guard that I be employed as
the architect on their pro
ject# The contract entered
into rould be with tho Na
tional Guard and not with the
Homer Public Utility District#
On October 11 when I met with
the Board, they went on re
cord as recommending to the
Adjutant General’s office
that I be hired# ne discus
sed the proposed construction
cost of the building and site
locations and the idea that
any construction should be
arranged so as to be used in
conjunction with the Homer
school# The action did not
in any way obligate them for
any stipulated amount of mon
ey either to the Adjutant
General’s office or myself*
However, I believe it would
be necessary for Homer to pa
rticipate in the preliminary
planning costs through the
Alasfca National Guard, and I
would suggest that an in
quiry be made y of their of
fices as to the exact amount
in order that you can gat the
project under way# Seward

For Appointments call
254
has done this, and I hoi? have
a contract with the Adjutant
General’s office for prepar
ing drawings for their build
ing# I think this amount is
very nominal, and your group
might be very interested in
getting this started* in order
to be ready for next year's
construction season.
At the time I was in Homer
the itlaska National Guard was
requesting that Homer and
Seward jointly participate in
the planning costs for the
architectural services for
these armory units. I be
lieve the Adjutant General's
office may entertain the idea
that any plans prepared for
Seward may be usable in Homer
Normally this would not bo
the case, since sites vafy
'and requirements are not of
ten identical*
If my understanding of the
meeting is in any way at var
iance rith the facts, I -nuld
appreciate having it made
kno~n to me, since I t?ould
like to be of assistance to
your community and Ttould like
to see this project get
started as it uould be a fine
addition to the community*
Very truly yours,
Linn A* Forrest
Architect, A*I.A.
