JUNEAU CHAMBER MAKES 3 OFFERS 10 COAST GUARD Local Business and Civic Groups Attempt fo Locate | Headquarters Here The Juneau. Chamber of Com- merce has transmitted three hous- ing prcpositions to the U. S, Coast Guard in Washington, D. C,, it was announced today at the Chamber’s weekly meeting In a letter to Captain Alfred C. Richmond, Chief of Planning and Control, the Chamber ofiered to build either two types of buildings to fit Coast Guard specifications, or turn over the Juneau Hotel for its exclusive use. The offer also guaranteed suit- able housing for Coast Guard personnel should the service decide to re-establish the 16th Coast Guard District and locate its headquarters in Juneau. The Chamber stated that a group of public spirited citizens had vol- unteered to underwrite the con- struction of either a large office bullding for the Coast Guard and others or to construct a two story building suitable for the exclusive use of that service. It pointed out that the first type of building could be constructed by July 1, 1949, while the other could be fin- ished a little more quickly. Either building would be tailored to fit Coast Guard needs. The Juneau Hotel was offered as the third proposal. It can make available between 8,000 and 14,000 square feet of space. Captain Richmond had stated the Coast Guard would need approximately 20,000 square feet. This would be available 10r immediate occupancy if the service would consider its use. The Chamber pointed out that the Governor's office claims that 27 Federal and Territorial agen- cies need between 22,000 and 25,000 additional square feet of office space. This would make the large building practical, it was declared The letter expressed a willingness THL DAII Y AI ASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA THURSDAY AUGUST 5, 1948 |to coop in any meeting, the was commended by the membership of the Chamber.
