Private Interests Are to House
 Army of Workers

Army of Workers Private enterprise is offered a clear path by the United States Army for the establishment of facilities for housing and feeding 1900 expected workers at the Fairbanks air experiment station this spring and summer.
 Word from Major Edward M George constructing quartermast CT in charge of the project states Let the men make their own arrangements for room & board pay their own bills personally and look out for their own trans portation to and from the Army reservation
 Road Wide Open
 The message received in Far banks by Assistant QuartermaSt- CT Lieutenant James B Rankin paves the way for immediate es- tablishment by private individ- uals or companies of camp and mess accommodations without re- striction on the part of the Army as to operation or sanitary fea- lures.
 The only stipulation set down by Major George is that no such facilities may be erected within bounds of the Army field itself. It. Rankin stated both he and Major George who is still at the Fairbanks stations purchasing office in San Francisco are anx- ious to see work begun as soon as is feasible on the housing to prevent a placing problem when the large influx of employees pours in early this spring.
 The lieutenant said he has al- ready been approached by at least 10 Fairbanksans who sought information over the possibility of establishing camps. His re- commentators were as follows:
 Recommended Camps
 Construction of temporary bachelor camps in units for so to 80 men with provision for addi- ton of more units if necessary; and a central mess. The season of operation for such a camp should be calculated as approxi= mately six months.
 "Without doubt" said It Ran kin ''the great majority of work CTS will be hired from Alaska.
 We expect to be working 3 shifts of 400 men each per day at the seasons peak. This peak should be reached about July l. All outside construction should be finished by about November l.
 Only such craftsmen and tech nicians as are not immediately available in the Territory will be brought here for the job. i The lieutenant stated a finance 1 officer and sfall detachment Of about seven enlisted men are eX- pected to arrive here about April 15 accompanying the first ship ment by Army transport of con struction equipment. He gave no definite date as to when arrival of troops may be expected in Fairbanks.
 The prime problem at hand said Rankin "is the launching of preparations to meet the housing and boarding needs of the work CTS. Indications are that demand for space will begin at the end of this month and increase from here on in.
