F.B. PALMER VISITED PALMER
THIS WEEK ' .
H. B. PnlT.f r was here overnight
as a representative of the R*F.C.
He was able t.o meet with a few of
the Valley people the evening of
the 28th and answer a few questions
in regard to the disposal of the
available Surplus War Material,
Everything, he says, will be
sold as is, where is and no defects
will be concealed from the pur
chaser. He encouraged inspection if
possible. This is rather difficult
as so far Fairbanks has been the
distribution point. However, ho is
going to try to get other centers
for distribution so that prospec*
tive buyers may have a better
chance to look at these articles.
Hr- is v ry Tuch interested in
allowing the farmers of Alaska the
first chance to buy this material,
in oi*dtr' to-rtide them over until
normal production is resumed.
There are three ways of obtain
ing this material,
I, Negotiated sales
2, Public Auction
3. Written bids.
There need be no cash with the bids
he stated. The different items ore
put on the list one month prior to
the closing of the bids.
The chief objectives of the
disposal program in Alaska are as
follows:
next column
a. To effect as full utilization as
possible of all our r s< irces in
the prosecution of the wr. ft.
b. To get idle equipment and tools
of production back to work in the
economy of Alaska. ;
c. To do this with the min* mum of
interference with normal channels
of trade and in such a manner as
to assure the use of these goods
in productive rather than specula
tive use.
d. To secure as fair return to the
Government as is possible, consist;:
tent with the above objectives®
