SPECIAL PROJECTS
OF FERA APPROVED
ONE IS REJECTED
Emergency Fire Equipment
Project Rejected Wash., D. C.
A special project proposed by the
Nome Committee of the Federal Em
ergency Relief Administration, call
ing for the construction of a fire
department building, was approved
by Acting Governor, E. W. Griffin.
A request was sent by Chairman
G. R. Jackson, to Juneau, asking for
the approval of this work. The nec
essity of such a building became
apparent following the last two fir
es to occur in Nome, since the large
conflagration in September. The
request was sent in on November
second asking approval to transfer
an estimated three thousand dollars
cost from the appropriation of fifty
thousand dollars, made available
soon after the fire, to this special
project. The following day a wire of
approval was received, and work
commenced on the building, on the
site of the former fire department
building.
The request for approval of the
emergency fire equipment project,
under the FERA, was rejected in
Washington, D. C., on the grounds
that the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration was devoted partic
ularly to supplying work for labor,
when relief was granted. A wire
was sent to Juneau requesting that
Colonel Elmer Clark of the Public
Works Administration be contacted
and that he be requested to confer
with the President and determine if
it was possible to get an executive
order for the payment of this emer
gency fire equipment, consisting of
pumps, fire hose, couplings and
fittings, which arrived in Nome on
the last boats. Todate no reply has
been received.
Conferring with the Vice-Chair
man of the FERA today, it was
learned that the following projects
calling for certain estimated appro
priations had been granted and ap
proved:
Clearing debris, $14,000.00; Grav
eling city streets in the burned area,
$12,740.80; Direct relief, $2,000.00;
Emergency housing requiring re
pairs and the converting of the Am
es building into a bunk house, and
with maintenance, $4,000.00; Admini
stration $5,000.00; planning projects
and incidentals, $2,344.20. The re
quest of $9,115.00 for emergency
fire equipment was turned down.

well as the facilities permit. As we
have all our stock very handy we
will be able to maintain the excell- •
ent service we always had, only at
reduced costs which will reflect in
the low selling prices.
