PAGE EIGHT FISHERMEN TELL C. OF C. BOAT NEEDS Chamber fo Try fo Aid Hali- buters fo Obtain Bef- * ter Facilifies Two Juneau fishermen, both long- | time residents of Juneau, Olaf Lar- | son and Ed Krause, appeared be- | fore the Juneau Chamber of Com-| merce at noon today and again stated the case of the Halibut Ves- sel Owner’s Association for more and | better boat facilities for Juneau. Larson, introduced by Harry God- | son, program chafrman, said he had | been a Juneau resident since 1913.| When he first came there were only twdb halibuters wintering here, Lar- son stated the accent was on gold mining then and Juneau paid little attention to the vast riches that lay | at its “back door, in Davy Jones Jocker.” - He went on to say that Ju- Reau was the most favorably located . port for halibut. The reason he gave for this was that the biggest and best halibut were found in the area ‘nedreést ‘this port. Facilities Elsewhere He then went on to compare the facilities' for boats here with other less favorably situated ports such as Petersburg.- He told of the electric linés strung on thé boat floats in the Shrimp Capital and of the re- pair yards. Larson flatly stated that /$40,000 worth of business had been 108t. in the last few months—be-} cpuse logal halibuters had to make lank trips to other towns to put their boats off the ways, thete being no mariné ways here. :Larson then told of the need of @ geaf Wouse, saying that the hali- | but men used to store their gear up- stairs in the building next to the Juneau Cold Stvrage plant, but that space was no longer available. Fire Hazard He then pointed out the fire haz- afd involved in attempting to dry ot the hold of a small craft with a Kerosene or gasoline stove. Larson ‘péked for electric’ outlets .in the| 1 boat harbor so . fishermen m,v-t a nominal cost, an m or small heater, at a n(u p6 they do in other South-} Alaska towns. uu final phases of his talk he ked the Chamber to “put pressure” on the: light company to install the needed lines. : Larson warned that vgfilus something was done for the “fishermen they would be forc- locate in towns where facil- ‘were provided. .l‘ Krause then gave a few- fig- ufes to show the value of the hali- m’fl eet to the city. He said the 2 whu preuented an investment 60,000; that it cost $1,200 a n boat with gear; that for a 10 to 14 day trip , the money being spent uu. the wages of the 95 per cent of whom spent oney in Juneau. M Goes Elsewhere Kljluu stated $120,000 worth of business was being given to other towns every year by the halibuters—: mwapey that would be spent here if | {acilities were provided. At the conclusion of his «speech, %sldent of the Chamber, Dr. W. H.| iteHead asked the Local Indus- es - Comymittee to meet with the Exegutiye- Board next Wednesday to map out a plan of action. Many members asked questions on the matter with Senator Allen Shat- k stating ‘tbe tax rate could be nhed provide “funds for these "; referring to the desired pusyiosés’ Whouu matters to come before the Chamber ‘were: a letter was read !M'flu Alaska Jyneau Gold Min- ny, thanking the Cham- for its interest in aiding it to ob- tdin gnother waste disposal permit, 1! . negd arose.

Coplen, Regional Representative of the National Housing Agency in | |Seattle. This program has been | provided to relieve* congestion in| the Juneau community, due to war activity, which is at present caus- ing hardship for those families that are unable to secure adequate liv- ing accommodations. Under this program builders may ! sconstruct larger and better quality houses than has been possible undg' past war housing standards with top sales prices of $8,000 and shelter rent ceilings of $65. This program is necessarily limited by [the availablity of materials and | manpower. Anyone may occupy the 'houses built under this program. { | | | The new ceiling prices under this H-2 program, together with ithe liberalization of WPB building standards, will enable construction of better quality houses in higher price ranges. It will also make pos- sible erection of three-bedroom houses which could not be built |under previous price ceilings in |mostareas. | Such housing is expected to meet !the minimum construction stan- !dards of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration for insured mortgage [loans under Title IT of the Na- |tional Housing Act. Houses built under this program may be fin- lanced with or without mortgage |insurance by the Federal Housing | Administration. Applications for | priorities to secure materials to build these houses should be filed with Folger -Johnson, State Di- rector of the Federal Housing Administration, Portland, Oregon. Priorities are issued by FHA acting ‘under a delegation of authority from the War Production Board.
