Bid Withdrawn
On* Buildings
(Continued from page 1)
Nearly all plumbing, heating and
wiring fixtures were removed.
Tar paper exteriors were torn,
buildings were badly weathered,
and celotex had been installed
in such a manner that it was
practically without salvage
value.
Some of the structures were of
K-D panels, but showed evidence
of having been moved a number
of times. Mr. Curtis said, in view
of the long hauling distance, he
considered the purchase entirely
impractical.
Members of the board of direc
tors of the Valley Volunteer Fire
Association decided to make no
further plans for raising funds
until after Thursday’s Chamber
of Commerce luncheon with Col.
John Johnson. It is expected that
Colonel Johnson will then ex
plain in detail railroad plans for
construction of a fire station
here.

Previous to that time, Mr. Pet
ers was for five years business
analyst for the Farm Home Ad
ministration (formerly the Farm
Security Administration) at Port
land, Ore. He has engaged in
farming, and has worked in as
sociation with farming co-oper

Although his present position

as ARRC head. Both Mr. Irwin
and Mrs. Hamby resigned their
positions to take up new jobs
with Alaska Experimental Sta
