LONG FIGHT FOR
RIVER PROTECTION
ENDS IN VICTORY
Continued from Page 1
efforts large sections of the
Hyder townsi'te have been ear
ned away by the swift-rushing
waters and residents and prop
erty owners have in many in
stances lived in almost con
! riant apprehendr.n o ' losing'
j their property and homes, and
pu.«siuy meir lives as a result j
of same sudden inundation. '
The announcement that'
something is now to be done to
remove, (presumably forever,
this ever-haunting danger is,
therefore, exceedingly joyful
news to the community.
Credit for the successful cul
mination cf the long struggle
for federal aid is due chiefly
to Delegate A. J. Dim'ond and
Representative Green, both of j
whom have been indefatigu
able in the effort- to 'secure ad
equate appropriations. To
these able representatives, as
well as to Major Malcolm Ell
iot and Resident Engineer J. G.
Truitt of the War Department ■
Engineers, and to former Alas-j
ka Delegate Dan Sutherland, j
Governor John W. Troy and j
other Territorial and federal i
officials are due the very!
grateful thanks of the com- !
munity for services which were i
not only invaluable to present !
resident-: of the camp but will !
in all probability redound i
greatly to the benefit ,o|f pos- j
terity. j
In view of the present de
plorable unemployment situ
ation in Hyder, public interest
is now centering on the quest
ion of whether the flood pro
ject is to be carried to com
pletion under contract or by
the War Department engin
eers with local labor em
ployed. In the former case
the contract may go to seme
outside contractor who will
perform the required work
with imported labor, rather
than with Local labor.
To prevent such an eventual
ity if possible, steps are now1,
being taken by Representative
Green and other citizens, as it
will mean a difference of
thousands of dollars to the
community if construction is I
carried out with local labor, j
of which there is an ample
supply available.
