The Commission reported there is on hand $178,600 in United States Government bonds and $40,- 000 in Wrangell school bonds, in the building fund created several years ago by the Legislature. This | sum, it declared, would not be ade- quate to build the plant needed. The new Home, it said, ought to have accommodations for 150 men and 50 women. It would cost ap- proximately $300,000. To put the bonds held by the Territory on the market at this { time, it was pointed out, would en- tail some monetary sacrifice.
