PALMER FIRMS
MAY BID ON
A.H.A. CONTRACTS
The Alaska Housing Authority
has called for bids for construc
tion of 75 low-rent units at Fair
banks. Bids will be opened in An
chorage May 8, with actual con
struction expected to start soon
afterward. Palmer firms may bid.;
This is the first of four proj
ects of this type planned for con- i
struction this year, E. Gler Wild j
er, AHA executive director, said. ■
Besides 75 units at Fairbanks, a!
bid call for 50 units at Juneau is!
expected to go out later this j
month, and a call for construction
of another 50 units at Ketchikan
early in May.
In Anchorage, 150 units will
follow if sufficient building sea
son remains to get well underway
with construction before winter.
Wilder said.
Low-rent housing is construct
ed with federal financial aid as1
authorized by Congress in the j
Housing Act of 1949. It is rental j
housing to be made available foe I
families who by reason of a low I
income could not otherwise af- j
ford to rent decent standard!
dwelling accommodations. The J
projects will be owned and op- j
erated by the Alaska Housing
Authority.
The Fairbanks project is to be
located between W. 2nd Ave. and
W. 10th Ave., and will be two
story units contained in 10 multi
ple unit buildings plus a manage
ment and maintenance office
building. The construction con
tract will include, besides the
building, installation of utilities,
central heating plant and con
struction of streets, walks, and
yard areas.
* The low-rent projects planned
by the AHA will be a real asset
to the four communities, and will
assist in over-coming the serious
shortage of standard housing, es
pecially where private enterprise
cannot be expected to supply de
cent housing for families of low
er income, Wilder said.
Max Sherrod is purchasing i
sprinkler irrigation system. It was
recently shipped from Seattle.

I Will Hove Skilled Care
During Minstrel Show
Parents who want to park their
i young fry in the especially set up
| nursery rooms during the Ki
wanis minstrel show April 20-21,
in the school, will find two reg
istered nurses in charge each
night.
They are welcome to the train
ed supervision and care, but also
here are a few admonitions!
Only children under school age
will be cared for. According to
tendencies, age and habits, the
youngsters will be separated,
some in the playroom, some in
the sleeping room. One nursery
will be in the library, the other
in the room across the hall, and
there will be no admittance ex
cept to parents and the cherubs
they are parking.
Definitely, the Kiwanis Club
and the nursery personnel will
not be responsible for accident or
loss, nor will they feed battle
babies. Parents bringing their
children also should bring sleep
ers, toys, blankets, pants and am
ple diapers.
The nurses in charge are Mrs.
June Liebing, Mrs. Phyllis Long,
Mrs. Ingeborg Navjord, and Mrs. Coffey Insures Everything!
