“I noted that such a bill had
been introduced in the legislature
and phoned the Ketchikan repre
sentatives and they assured me that
they would amend the bill so as
to make sure such funds were pro
vided for our ferry boat also,” De
veau said.
“Naval architect Philip F.
Spaulding this week sent me a
complete set of contract plans and
specifications for the Kodiak ferry.
Bids are to be opened next month.
“As near as we can estimate, this
vessel should be constructed within
the budget figure allowed,” Spauld
