Director John E.
Pegues of Alaska
F1IA Leaves Friday
Beginning yesterday morning Dir
ector John E. Pegues, of the F.H.A.
for Alaska, has been visited by more
than sixty people with housing pro
blems to discuss, and details of how
to apply to the Federal Housing Ad
ministration for projects.
Mr. Pegues estimated this after
noon that there was more than
$200,000 in sight of projected im
provements and construction exlu
sive of straight commercial construc
tion as would apply under the $50,000
clause now before congress.
Discussing with but a few bussi
ness men in the past two days, he
says that approximately seventy-five
or eighty thousand dollars will be
m sight when the amendment is
put into effect. Undoubtedly he re
marked, others are waiting until the
amendment is passed before bring
ing forth their proposals.
A telegram received today by Mr.
Pegues from Seattle stated that G.
K. Jackson, President of the Miners
and Merchants Bank of Alaska of
Nome had signed up with Federal
Housing Administration at Juneau,
and had qualified under Title I.
As regards Title II it was ascertain
ed that a meeting of the board of
directors of the bank would be nec
essary, in addition to several other
minor requirements.
Mi'. Pegues is planning to leave
Nome tomorrow morning with Pilot
Hermann of the Northern Air Trans
port for Fairbanks, from which place
he intends flying to Juneau to his of
fices there. He stated however that
he will be back in Nome not later
than the middle of June and at least
once a month from then on.

Children Playing At
River is Dangerous
Coming to our attention today was
the information that young boys and
girls are playing around the ice
and water on Bering Sea and at
Snake River.
Each year the children play around
the water front during the breakup
and several narrow escapes from
drowning have been recorded. The
ice in Snaike River has not yet gone
out, but may in the near future.
There is still small ice cakes on the
shores of Beritlg Sea in front of
Nome, and children have been ob
served playing around them.
Warning has been issued before
to parents about allowing their chil
dren to play around the waterfront
during the breakup and it is again
brought to their attention to see that
the children remain away from the
ice during this season. The fact that
they are found at all hours of the
day and even in the evenings down
near the water, works a hardship on
adults who are at work nearby or
are passing at the time. They can
not spend all of their time watching
them to see that someone doesn't j
fall in.
As a Warning to Parents—Keep i
your children away from the waters!
of Bering Sea and Snake River dur
ing the breakup.
Some Nome Lumber
Shipments Released
A wire received today by Mayor
Swartz from Delegate Dimond indi
cates that the Nome shipments of
lumber already out of the mills1
ready for the ships, have been releas
ed for passage here. It further in
I
dicates that local unions were in
structed to see that the lumber is
released for the ships as specified—
only that lumber out of the mills,
and that cutting of additional lum-:
ber for Nome will not be allowed.
The concession made, it is under
stood, is a big one in view of the
fact that it might have been held
indefinitely and the vessels would
not have brought it in on the first
sailings. Following is the wire.
Washington, May 23. 1935
Mayor Swartz. Nome, Alaska
Advised Northwest Council wired
local unions release all lumber de
stined Nome area that is consigned
to ships stop This means lumber and
lumber products ready for ship
ment but does not include resump
tion of cutting stop understand large
part of consignments are ready to
ship.
Signed: Dimond, Delegate.
