“White Alice”
Reality Soon
The Air Force project, common
ly known as “White Allice,” is
scheduled for construction atop
Pillar Mountain, overlooking Ko
diak, this summer. Plans and spe
cifications were'announced by the
Alaska district Corps of Engineers
and are now in the hands of inter
ested contractors.
The Kodiak installation, one of
seven announced by the Engineers,
is scheduled to be completed in
four months. The work on the Ko
diak site, as on all the sites, will
consist of tjie construction of an
equipment building, installation of
diesel engines and generators,
erection of steel towers and anten
nae, communications cables from
nearby Air Force Station and
other work.
The total cost will be approxi
mately $5,000,000. The other sites
are Sparrevohn, Indian Mountain,
Unalakleet, Sitkinak, Middleton Is
land and Bethel.
“Occupancy of the principal
building in each of these projects
is scheduled for about four months
from the date of contract award,”
according to Col. Carl Y. Farrell,
of the Alaska District Engineers.
Airlift of considerable equipment
will be required to meet this tight
schedule. The government will fur
nish some of the material to be
used on the project. The heavy
material will be transported by
barge to the sites, or to ports for
transhipment by railroad. This in- i
eludes electric generators with eiv '
gines, steel shapes in packages for
the towers and wave guides, and
comunication cable. The Air Force
may fly equipment too heavy for
commercial planes. 389 tons of
material will be shipped to Kodiak
for the project.
Bids for the projects will be
opened June 8, at 11 a.m. in the
Seattle branch of the Alaska Dis
trict Corps of Engineers.
Many of the sites have major
construction problems, such as
permanently frozen ground, inac
cessibility except by air, and others
where a road will have to be built,
and a bridge constructed. The Ko
diak site presents no serious prob
lems, according to the Engineers.
GOETT1NG HERE
ON INSPECTION
C. H. Goetting, Superintendent
of the Telephone Operations and
Loan Division of the R. E. A., was
a visitor in town this week. He
conferred with Martha and John
Cushing of the Kodiak Telephone
Company.
Goetting is making an inspection
trip throughout the territory,
checking the needs and services in
Alaska, in connection with the tele
phone facilities. His headquarters
are in Washington, D. C.
He stated he does not find prob
lems differing greatly from those
existing in the States, in connec
ton with telephone service. The
biggest factor, he said, is cost.
