Richberg asserted tina these

Such a statement coming from

interpreted as pointing away from

HASTE URGED
BY PWA ON
GRANT, LOAN
Plans Being Rushed by City
Officials on Public Inn
provement Projects

Word was received yesterday by
Gov. John w. Troy from E. H
Foley, Jr., Assistant General Cou1l-
sci for the Administrator of PWA
urging the early requisition of the
PWA grant and loan to the city OF
Juneau, amounting to 100000, for
public improvements. These i'm
provement plans, although city pro-
jects, must be approved by the En-
glneer Inspector and Gov. Troy
before they are sent to Washing
ton, D. c., for final approval.
Preliminary Work Started :
Engineers began ten days age
laying out the survey lines for the
street, bridge and other projects in
cluded under this improvement pro-
ject, according to Mayor I. Gold
stein. o. H. Stratton, Government
Engineer, has started on the blue
prints for the Gold Creek Bridge
and the two bridges to be con-
structed on Gastineau Avenue. Sur
veys have already been completed
on Calhoun Avenue, where con-
crete bridge work is planned, the
Mayor stated AS soon as this pre-
liminary work is completed the
plans will be presented to GOV.
Troy for approval, then sent to
Washington for final approval. Pre-
liminary work is being rushed to
completion and it is expected that
some of the plans will be ready for
presentation to the Governor with
in a few days, city officials said
today.
Call for Bids
After the approval of the plans,
call for bids must be issued and
the bids also sent to the Governor
and Washington, D. C. for approval
before work can actually be started,
Mayor Goldstein stated. 1t is hoped
to get this underway as soon as
possible, he said.
1t is expected that the bridge
work can be done during the fall
and winter, with preliminary work
being started as soon as the plans
and bids are approved. Because it
is impossible to do concrete work
during extreme cold weather, it
will be carried through as long as
the weather permits, and if mild
weather prevails the concrete work
can also be done, according to the
Mayor.
