Eklutna Project Head ;
Accepts Position
With Contracting Firm
Byron G. Felkner, construction
engineer in charge of the Eklutna
Project since it was first begun
two years ago, will leave the Val
ley and the Bureau of Reclama
tion for private employment
shortly after the 20th of this
month.
Mr. Felkner made his announce
ment upon returning to Palmer
last week after a three-week
trip Outside. He will go to work
for the J. H. Pomeroy Company
of San Francisco and will be in
charge of all construction. This
company is well known in the
general contracting field. It pres
ently has projects under construc
tion in Alaska, Hawaii, Saudi Ara
bia, Venzuela, and many other
places all over the world, includ
ing Pittsburg.
The decision to leave the Bur
eau for private employment after
17 years of service was precipitat
ed by an offer “too good to be
turned down.” Mr. Felkner ex
pressed his regret at leaving Pal
mer just as the Eklutna Project
has reached the half-way mark.
His wife feels the same way. “Of
all the places we’ve been,” he
reported her as saying, "this is the
only place that I really hate to
leave.” A replacement for the
Eklutna Project head is expected
to arrive this week-end.
