Cottages to Be Built
Bids will be opened today for the
construction of cottages for perman
nent employes on the plateau north of
the flat on which the business portion
of Anchorage now stands. The plans
submitted to prospective bidders show'
neat, comfortable cottages, but noth
ing elaborate in architecture.
The cottage for Lieut. Mears. a
member of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, in charge of operations
here, will be 26x46 feet, with veranda
in front and in the rear. It. will con
tain five rooms, and kitchen and bath
room. A fire-place will also be In
stalled. Twenty-one thousand feet of
lumber, board measure, will be used in
its construction. The Commission
will supply all lumber and material.
The Mears cottage will be built on
what is designated as lot 6 in the
plat of the subdivision set apart for
residence purposes.
Cottages for other permanent em
ployes will be 23x34 feet, with ver
anila in front. They will contain three
rooms anil kitchen ami bathroom. A
cottage of this type will consume in

board measure.
A roadway is under construction

plateau. It will have an eight per
cent grade. The work of clearing the
plateau has about been completed.

A bridge and fill is being erected
and constructed to connect the pres
ent with the permanent town. The
bridge and fill combined will be 1260
feet long, of which 160 feet will be
piling driven across the stream. The
fill will be 12 feet on top and will
give the people a good road to the
new townsite. It is very fortunate
that the Engineering Commission is
building this roadway to accommodate
the people, as it will greatly expedite
moving to the permanent town loca
tion. About 50 men will be employed.
The government has just completed
the driving of a new wharf on the
slough at Ship Creek.
