The hands that wield the letter
openers in the offices of the Ag
ricultural Research Administra
tion offices are going to be mighty
weary about late June, what with
all the bid-opening they’re going
to be required to do shortly. Bids
are scheduled to be opened for
two separate construction projects
on June 13, for two more on June
15, and for another on June 22.
And after all the envelopes
have been slashed open, and all
the enclosures carefully scanned
by watchful and official ARA
eyes, there’ll be construction ac
tivity humming over a good part
of Alaska. Two residences and
an office are to be built at the
Fairbanks experiment station, a
greenhouse is going up in Palmer,
a garage and thrashing shed is to
be erected across from the Mat
anuska station, a fireproof grain
storage building also is planned
: for the Matanuska station, and a
four-bedroom residence will be
built at the Petersburg station.
Then if there’s any money left
in the construction budget of
i ARA, a vegetable storage build
| ing will be erected in Palmer.
Meanwhile, construction begun
last year, or earlier this season,
is progressing, Mr. Irwin reports.
The laboratory cabinets and
equipment for the new ARA of
fice building, finished in early
spring, have been completed by
the manufacturer in the east and
are ready for shipment to Alaska.
Mr. Irwin and his entire research
staff eagerly await the arrival of
this equipment for all research
activiay of ARA is at a standstill,
until the necessary laboratory
gadgets and furniture get here
and are installed.
The mess hall, dormitory and
central steam plant at Fairbanks,
all hqused under a single roof, are
nearing completion.
Basement excavations on the
seven residences going up here in
Palmer are complete, and the
forms are now being poured.
All in all, ARA workers are be
ginning to think that the so-called
“construction season” in Alaska
extends through 12 months of ev
ery year.
DILLON GOES FISHING
Charles Dillon, Palmer school
teacher, left the Valley on a short
fishing trip yesterday. Mr. Dillon
plans to be gone only three or
four days. Upon his return, he
will be employed at Palmer Cold
Storage.
