OPPORTUNITY CALLING
TO SUPPLY POLES FOR
DISTRIBUTION LINES
Some ambitious person could get
into the “pole business” in .South
east Alaska, according to Franz
Nagel, manager of the Alaska Elec
tric Light and Power Co. in Juneau.
The demand for yellow cedar
poles for distribution lines of light,
power and telephone exceeds the
supply, not only in Juneau but in
all Southeast Alaska towns in ad
dition to a heavy demand in the
Interior.
Current price being paid for poles
is approximately 40 cents a foot
with poles cut in lengths of 35 to
55 feet. The poles must be winter
cut and it is not too late for some
cutting this season, Nagel pointed
out. The winter-cut yellow cedar
has a natural preservative native
to it that makes treating unneces
sary. There are available stands of
this timber suitable for poles in a
number of Southeast Alaska areas.
Nagel estimates that Southeast
Alaska towns would take 500 such
poles annually and since the Forest
Service would consider them suit
able for export, there is the possi- !
bility of developing an outside mar- i
ket as well as sales in the Anchor
age and Fairbanks areas.
