Interior Alaska to complete the ar
rangements on this side cf the boun
dary. He will stop at F.uby and

of the board of trustees for that in
stitution. The board has awarded
■ the contract to C. 0. Lindsey, a
! local builder, and the plans will be ,
! drawn by M. S. Sutton of Juneu. |
1 Mr. Lindsey will immediately'
i :
start work on the foundation, which
1
he hopes to have prepared by the
time the building plans are complet
ed and materials have arrived.
At the last session of the terri
torial legislature, an appropriation
of $14,000 was passed for the con
struction of a hospital and $6,00u
for a laundry for the Pioneers'
home. The board of trustees, after
investigating the mater and study- :
ing the ground, became aware that
any attempt to provide two separate
and distinct buildings within the lim
its of the appropriations would be ,
disastrous and fail to meet the needs ,
of the home. As a solution of the
problem, the specifications and plans
as now drawn up provide for a laun
dry and hospital under the same
roof. |
The building will be 34 feet wide
and 72 feet in length. It will be
provided with a concrete basement
in which the equipment for the
laundry will be installed. In this
manner it is certain, stated Mr.
Shattuck, that many economies can
be effected, not only in the work
of construction, but also in the ad- I
ministration of both establishments!
after they are completed, as it will '
be possible to cut to a considerable
degree the overhead expenses at
tached to running both.
