L. Troast, Architect for that bureau, who returned this week from the southern end of the Division. Water supply systems are being installed at Saxman and Hydaburg. | Similar work is planned for Kla- | wock and Tetlick. At Hydaburg improvements are being made to a 20-year-old school house. The Klawock school building will be revamped. And generally, inade- quate and defective school buildings of the bureau will be put into good shape. “We feel that we are accom- plishing a great deal under the CWA program and performing use- | ful work that will have lasting value,” Mr. Troast said. Urges Radio Improvement i The community needs a radio in- terference detector so that some of the abundant sources of interfer- ence to local reception can be lo- cated and eliminated, declared M S. Whittier. One formerly owned by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company had been sold. He said some other Alaskan com-| munities had been provided with this service by the City Councils and thought a similar arrangement might work here. The local Radio Club, he added, J. of W.
