Money For Alaska
A representative of the National Association of Mutual Sav
ings Banks has predicted a surge of investment capital into Alaska
in the coming months.
The prediction came from Daniel E. Stoddard, president of
the People’s Savings Bank of Providence, R. I., who, accompanied
by Mrs. Stoddard, delivered to
official greetings of Rhode Island
in the Rhode Island House of
Representatives.
In forecasting increasing in
vestment interest in Alaska,
Stoddard noted that the associa
tion is centered largely in the
Eastern states with “a mature
economy and no growth factor.”
“We are tremendously inter
ested in Alaska,” he said.
To demonstratee his point,
Stoddard said his own bank al
ready has invested $1,000,000
in Alaska projects while two
Governor William A. Egan the
Mrs. Stoddard served four years
other banks authorized him to
commit up to $1,000,000 in
Alaska during his current trip.
The Providence banker, who
came to Juneau after an earlier
stop in Anchorage, said he plans
to give a talk on Alaska invest
ment opportunities at the next
meeting of the association’s
board of directors in Washing
ton, D. C.
