Mayor Will Wire
 Thursday More
 Information PWA

Having received no information on the status of the loan and grant agreement between the city of Nome and the Public Works Ad- ministration, during the past ten days, Mayor Rex F. Swartz is plan ming to send another wire to author- ities, both in Juneau and Washing ton.
 The special bond election held in Nome in July ratified the action of the council in deciding to bond the city in connection with the PWA loan and grant system. The results were wired to the authorities and they were asked to expedite the signing of the agreement so that actual work could commence as ear- ly as possible.
 Tomorrow the mayor intends re- questing speedy action on the grant ing of authority to proceed in con nection with the projects laid out.
 The season is already half gone and much work is necessary before winter sets in. Supplies of differ ent kinds must be shipped from the states to take care of some of these proposals.
 Officials in Washington have been appraised of conditions here at num- erous times, but as matters stand now there is serious danger that some of the work may not be done this fall unless speedy authority is granted to proceed with definite action on the plans.
