The Village Commissioners of
Stewart are planning an exten
sive series of improvements on
streets and sidewalks of the

The streets in seven blocks

replaced by gravel walks with
a hard surface in various 'sec
tions. Some street graveling is
also to be done.

Tractor Road for Unuk
Assertedly prompted by the
American action of clearing

uk in Canadian territory. C. W.
J... Ellison, a departm ent

where the Canadians will start
the road.
Strike Delays Work On
New Pioneers’ Home
Work on the new $225,000
home for Alaska pioneers at
Sitka is progressing as well as
can be expected under the un
certainties of the shipping sit
uation resulting from the Paci
fic coast longshoremens’ strike,
according to William A. Hesse,
Territorial Highway Engineer
and chairman of the building
commission.
In a letter to the Herald
dated June 25, Mr. Hesse stat
ed that the concrete had been
pioured up to and including the
first floor, representing the
largest pour to be made in
building. Forms to the second
floor were also half completed,
with sufficient material on
hand to finish tha/t section.
“We managed to keep the
work going during the first
strike, though we were obliged
to get a small shipment of
electrical material fhom, Can
ada, or suspend operations, Mr.
Hesse wrote.
According to Mr. Hesse, the
goal of the commission is to get
the pioneers inlto the new home
by Christmas, although the.
strike hag now made this some
thing o(f a fbrliorn hope. Mr.
Hesse believes, however, that
the contractor will make a
herculean effort to get one
wing of the structure ready for
occupancy in advance of the
resit.
