*WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1950 | 'TENAKEE FLOAT - FIRST AVIATION PROJECT FINISHED ‘e Completion of the first project undertaken by the Alaska Depart- Lment of Aviation since its creation last year, was announced today by George S. (Tony) Schwamm, de- partment director. L A seaplane landing float and ap- proach at Tenakee was accepted by Schwamm upon its completion and being moved info place not 10 minutes prior to his landing therc '. while on a tour of inspection of Southeast Alaska seaplane ports. The float was constructed by 4James Paddock of Juneau, one of l three emergency projects gotten proach at what is known as the Standard Oil dock. This is the sec- ond float constructed under the emergency clause of the program allowed by the C.A.A. A third float at Metlakatla has not yet gotten under way, because of technical difficulties- in applying a contract. An organized village, the | town may not sign a contract to| construct a float, Schwamm ex- plained, but it must be let to an in- dividual under C.A.A. regulations. This problem has stymied con- -struction, but something is hoped to be worked out soon, he said. The work will be in combination with the highway department. All the emergency floats were not | let to contractors by calling for lmds. but negotiated in order to save time and get them under way. C.AA. officials cut proceedure in order that the old tloats—mostly half sunk and in poor condition— might be replaced so soon as pos- sible. under way in the Federal Airpor (Aid Program sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Construction of seven airports throughout Alaska and 14 seaplane bases, mostly in Southeast Alaska are on the department’s program in “/conjunction with the program. Costs of construction are divided so that the federal government pays 7¢ percent of the cost, with the Ter- ritory paying 25 percent. Funds for the department, a part rvof the Alaska Aeronautical and are Bid Openings Bids for the 14 float landipgs will | be opened May 17 in Schwamm's office in Anchorage, and Will be| awarded as speedily as possible, he | said. After the awards are made, Schwamm will return here to make a more detailed survey of float conditions throughout the area. Many repairs are on the depart- ment’s agenda this season, as well as new work, he said. Floats at Peters- burg, Wrangell, Klawok and other sites will be repaired and made | more usable as soon as possible, he said. “We have a policy of installing new floats to replace the worst ones at first,” Schwamm explained, "and. will continue in that manner until the program is complete. Thus—by this staggering—they won’t wear out all at once.” Schwamm was flown to Sitka and other points while on his tour here by Sheldon Simmons, executive of Alaska Coastal Airlines. Names of towns in which new floats will be built following open- ing of bids are: Ketchikan, Craig, Hyder, Sitka, Angoon, Gustavus, Baranof, Hood Bay, Todd, Port Al- thorp, LaTouche, Whittier, Sel- dovia, and Tamgass Harbor, the seaplane base at Annette Island.

(Slim) Avery of Nenana that Jack Rhode, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Rhode of Ju- neau, participated in the good for- tune shared by 30 other persons when the ice went out on the Tan- ana River May 6 at 4:14 p.m. Jack was born May 6 at 4 pm.— and was 14 years old this year. That made the combination. Stories out of Fairbanks early this week had a “Rhode Jack Co.” of Anchorage as one of the winners. But Avery said ne made the ticket out as Jack Gazil Rhode, Juneau. The company involved is composed of his parents and sister. Gazil is Mrs. Rhode’s maiden name. That makes two winners living in Juneau—the other is the man writ- ing this little yarn—Archie E. Campbell. Later advices make the number on the exact minute as 31. At first only 29 were counted. The other two include Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Heath of Kodiak, formerly of Mt. Vernon, Wash., Mrs. Heath says she’s going to take an automobile tour of the nation, and her hus- band promised to don a chauffeur’s uniform to do the driving. | A second woman, whose name got lost in the shuffle yesterday, was also named, but no address was available.
