—— e e e 2 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WLDNI:,SDAY FEB. 12, 1941. GODDARD IS PROBLEM OF LEGISLATURE Committee Mrning from Sitka Faced with Two | Alternatives Alaska's Legislators, who are scheduled to visit the Territory's auxiliary Pioneers’ Home at Goddard Hot Springs today, are faced with making a choice between two policies outlined in the biennial report of Eiler Hansen, Superintendent of th Pioneers’ Home. The choices are these: (1) Build an adequate building and plant at Goddard to take care of the oveflow from the main Pio- neers’ Home, at Sitka, or Abandon the recently-pur- chased Goddard property and build an annex to the Sitka home to take of a larger number. Legislators Have Look ‘When they return here tomorrow. the 17 Legislators who made the Sitka trip will have looked over both the Sitka and Goddard homes and will have heard the recommenda- tions of Superintendent Hansen, who in his report appears to favor an enlarged home under one roof at Sitka An annex to the Pioneers’ Home could be serviced from the main building and therefore be operated economically, Hansen says. He esti- mates the cost of such a unit at $175,000. It would accommodate 75 men Such equipment at Goddard as has not already been junked will have to be replaced within a brief time, Hansen’s report states “Whatever future use the Legisla- ture decides to make of this location should be carried out with the idea of starting from the beginning,” Hansen declares. “In my opinion i would make a good location for an insane asylum or a tubercular sani- tarium. It has been my experience that very few old people are satis- fied to live under conditions of com- plete isolation, such as prevails at Goddard which can only be ap- proached from Sitka over 16 miles of open ocean.” Cost Disparity Daily average cost for mainte- nance of residents at the Sitka home last year was $1.24 as against $1.87 at Goddard. Daily average cost for food at Sitka was 25 cents and at Goddard 52 cents. The steamer North Coast on which 12 Representatives and five Senators went to Sitka is expected to return to Juneau some time tomorrow morning. The few Representatives in Juneau | held a brief meeting this afternoon and adjourned until 2 tomorrow afternoon. The Senate made a holi- day of Lincoln’s Birthday and is slated to convene .at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. . L. BAHRT DROPS DEAD Henry L. Bahrt, Deputy United States Marshal at Sitka, dropped dead there today, according to a brief radiogram received by U. S. Marshal William T. Mahoney this afternoon. Bahrt, well known in this section of Southeast Alaska, has been De- puty Marshal for the past two years and previous to that time was United States Commissioner at Sitka Mr. Bahrt was a recent visitor in | Juneaul, attending the sessions of the grand jury. Advices received by The Empire at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon stated Bahrt dropped dead at noon while attending a luncheno given to the visiting legislators .hy the Sitka Chamber of Commerce. - e——— CHAMBER T0 HEAR RECOMMENDATIONS | ON PENDING BILLS| | Reports on proposed Department | of Health and child welfare bills| which are to be considered by the | Legislature will be heard at tomor- row’s Juneau Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Baranof Hotel e Business Meeting For Rebekah Lodge There will br a regulax business meeting tonight at 8 o'clock at the IO.OF.
