ARMORY FOR JUNEAU
DISCUSSED BY COL.
ALEXANDER AT C. C.
Col. J. D Alexander. National
Guard Adjutant, briefed members of
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
today on new federal legislation
that might make possible an armory
for Juneau
“This presents a real opportunity
to provide a suitable building for
the National Guard, other civilian
components and reserves of the
armed forces, as well as a commun
ity center for Juneau.” the Colonel
said.
He told something of the history
of National Guard armories and
their uses by both the military and
civilian groups. Outlining some of
the requirements as to land for a
building here, necessary number of
component units, and financial par
ticipation, Colonel Alexander doubt
ed if they could be met just now,
but expressed hope that through
the cooperation of all interested
organizations and agencies that it
could be done.
Two Plans
Two plans are available, the Col
onel stated, a two-unit, two-story
cement block building 127 by 85
feet with a partial basement, locker
room, a large 110 by 50 assembly
hall, vault, two class rooms, two
supply storage rooms and modern
boiler for heating rifle range; and
a one-unit structure that would not
be as large.
He said that he had not costs ev
ailable at this time, but recommend
ed concerted community action in
the matter to make a thorough in- j
vestigation.

vice president, and D. M. Harwood,
chief construction engineer for the I

saying that his company was ser- j
lously considering entering Alaska
with a permanent organization over
an extended period of time and
that they were making studies in
the Territory toward that end. j
Allied Credits, Peterson explained,:
had 34 offices operating through
out all the states and were inter- !
ested in financing the light con- \
struction industry for both build-1
ings and building material operat-1
ors in the building of residences j
as well as financing modernizations [
and repair on existing dwellings.1
"We recognize the need for this
in Alaska, aside from the military
requirements, he stated. His organi
zation cooperates closely with the
Federal Housing Administration.
Other guests were Floyd Guertin
of the Veterans Administration, and
E. J. O’Brien, new manager of the
Baranof Hotel. Lloyd Connell was
introduced as a new member.
