Construction New Federal Bldg. Is
 Progressing

Work on excavation for the foundaton of the new Federal Building at Nome, under the di- rection of Superintendent Martin Anderson of the Mcdonald Con- struction Co.,, of St. Louis, Mis- souri, is progressing rapidly.
 With twelve men at work, gas shovel, trucks, caterpillar and fresno" scraper, and even No. 2 Men', a great amount of dirt has been removed from the site where the building will be con- Structed.
 The building, in the shape of capital "H'', with the two legs pointing north and south, is to rest on a foundation consisting of a three inch slap of concrete laid flush on the ground, on top of which will be laminated wood mat with transverse beams above that to carry the building, says Superintendent Anderson, when interviewed regarding the found ation and other construction de- tails of the building.
 It is expected that the founda- tion and basement walls will be completed this year." said Mir. Anderson, and the main building next spring, immediately follow ing the breakup, but this ex- pectation also depends on the weather conditions this fall", he stated
 The walls of the basement will be of concrete, four and one-half feet high, and above that the building will be of frame con- struction.
 An interesting item of the new center for federal agencies of the Second Division, will be the in- stallation of five concrete vaults, built in tiers, which will house the valuable records of govern mental offices and business for this Division.
 Some facts revealed by Supt. Anderson were that there will be 100000 board feet of lumber in cluded in the building, HOO bar rels of concrete, that the conStruc tion company has $40 days in which 10 complete its contract; the building will contain two courtrooms, one for the District Court and one for the CommiS- sioner's Court, offices for many governmental officials, a complete space for the U. s. Weather Bur eau, and the U. s. Signal Corps, the U. s. jail and etc.
 Andrew Sandegren, Construc- tion Engineer for the Federal government, said Mir. Anderson, is expected to arrive here at any time now, and will oversee the work of construction, as the build ing progresses.
 Sunday, many people could be seen observing the excavation work from the street levels, as the steady hum of activity con- tinued during the day and night. When the weather is favorable, day and night shifts will continue working.
