passed, every effort has been j
made to secure construction of
the Anchorage building during
the calendar year 1938. The In

for prompt construction of the
building at Anchorage.

In the schedule of public build
ings submitted to the House Com
mittee on Appropriations by the
Director of Procurement on May
17. 1937, the following Alaska
buildings are listed as bring elig

three years program within ten
days from date.
