Legislature, and two are nearing completion, in this work which was begun last spring, de- clared J. M. Speer, Architect In- spector, in charge. He arrived in Juneau this week after spending the last six months in the Interior | and Westward portion of the Ter- | ritory, and will remain here for | several days while he completes hlS reports, before leaving for Ketchi- | kan, Most of these school replaced | obsolete buildings in extremely poor | condition and bad repair, while in other communities they supplant old buildings which have been rent- ed by the Territory to house the schools. While the construction was done through the efforts of PWA to create useful employment, all the buildings were really neces- sary ‘and will contribute greatly |to the efficiency of .the schools, he said. Every effort was made to keep as ‘much of the money expended in | the Territory and local materials iwere used in every case possible, while labor was entirely local, Mr. Speer said. All contracts were let on bids, and only bids of Alaskta | residents were accepted, in accord- ance with the plan,” while labor was selected from the communities |in which the school were built. | The original program called for construction of twenty-two schools, jand with this in mond, a portion of the appropriation has not been | spent. Communities which have new |school buildings as a result of this uwork are, Wacker City, Gravina Island, Craig, Port Alexander, Sel- dovia, Portlock, Port Graham, Atog- inak, Ouzinkie, Kodiak, Chignik, | Unalaska, Nushagak, Wasilla, Fort Yukon, Ruby, Fortuna Ledge and | Golovin. All of these will be in use | this winter and those at Crooked | Creek and McGrath will be placed | in use as soon as they are complet- | ed.

Each was well construct- ‘ed and excellent work was dona in all cases by the contractors, Mr. Speer said. He declared that th speed with which the work was completed was in great part aue to the wholehearted co-operation of local residents and businessmen in lending all aid they could in furnishing supplies and labor. Conditions throughout the in- terior look most favorable, Mr. Speer said. In all communities vis- ited there was much interest in mining, placer and hydraulic, and a tremendous amount of machinery has been takem into the country since last spring, he declared. Old time residents are particularly pleased at the number of your men who are going into the cour try to try placer mining or pros- pecting, in his opinion. There was a scarcity of fish the Yukon River this year and below normal catches were made by practically everyone. This causes 2 shortage of dog feod which was 'creating some concern, he said.
