ARA Plans More
Construction
Although winter weather is driv
ing workmen toward an enforced
rest soon, construction for the Agri
cultural Research Administration
goes booming ahead on paper, ac
cording to Don L. Irwin.
Plans for seven housing units to
be constructed at Palmer have been
approved. Mr. Irwin said it is
expected that the call for bids will
be issued in the very near future.
He still hopes to get all excavation
work completed and basements
constructed before freeze-up, so
that actual construction can begin
at break-up in the spring.
Plans for a greenhouse. 5,600
square feet in size, have been sub
mitted to Washington, D. C., for
approval. This greenhouse will b^
constructed at Palmer. A 10-car
garage and shop also is planned
for the Valley's station.
At the Petersburg fur farm, work
is beginning on a new garage. Fu
ture plans for Petersburg construc
tion include a 4-bedroom house.
The Fairbanks station already
has a new mess hall nearing com
pletion. It is expected to be ready
for occupancy by Oct. 10. Other
plans for Fairbanks provide for a
greenhouse, two new dwelling
houses and an office building.
All this planned construction is
to be accomplished with the use
of Federal funds, Mr. Irwin ex
plained. He said that he has learned
that the frozen territorial funds
will not become available before
January or February of 1950, if
then.
