V. Wagner, president, will i able to refinance and regain control of the property If Mr Wag s successful, it will be pos- sible to resume the production of green lumber within a week after the go-ahead signal. Logs are readily -available in the vicinity of Wrangell and can be received with- in 24 hours after being ordered Col. Ohlsen found the old mill in fair condition and with the in- stallation of more modern equip- ment, production could be increas- ed. He said that if an efficient manager is placed in charge, he thinks that the mill could be op- erated much more economically Under terms of the contract be tween the Alaska-Asiatic Corpora- tion and the U. 8. Army Engineers, the latter have agreed to complete installation of dry-kiln equipment ‘This work could be completed in two and a half months, Col. Ohlson said that in case Mr. Wagner is unsuccessiul in financ- ing the mill, efforts will be made to find a buyer for the property. This will take time as work has to . be completed in regard to the priorities of the creditors, the au- diting of the books and receiving of claims. If Mr. Wagner isn't successful in finding a buyer, the next step will be to arrange for receivership op- eration, which could be done in a! comparatively short time . ——————— KAREN LEE JONES ARRIVES THIS A.M.
