Tells Or PWA
Other Matters

"Alaskan towns may yet pro
cure loans under the PWA for
carrying on civic and other pro
jects under the 45-55 arrange,
ment,” said Governor John W.
Troy in Fairbanks May 18. “Un
der this plan," he stated, “the
federal government continues to
grant 45 per cent of the costs of
the project to the city or com
munity and to lend the balance
of the sum on easy long time
terms. Most of the Alaskan cities
availing themselves of the oppor
tunity to make improvements
with such funds already have ap
plied and have the necessary leg.
islation put through or initiated.”
Gov. Troy stated today that he
is greatly pleased over the pro

unqualified success.
“As to my executive policy,”

work to my best ability for the
welfare of the territory as a
whole.”

He plans to leave Juneau in time
to also visit Washington and
there confer with the secretary
of the interior on Alaskan affairs
and interdepartmental matters
concerning Alaska before return

Gov. Troy’s many Fairbanks
friends welcomed him to Fair

find him in the best of health. He
will leave here Thursday after
noon by plane in company with
Dr. Gruening for Juneau.

supporting.”
