Stocks Swept Higher
In Heavy Dealings;
|IndustriaIs Lead
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, May 27.-A sudden
squirt of buying raised industrial
stocks to the highest level since Au-
gust, 1916, in today's market.
Advances ranged from fractions
to nearly two points.
Most of the gains were made in
the first few minutes of trading.
After a quiet opening, buying or
ders streamed into the market and
the high-speed ticker tape for a
short time Jagged behind actual
dealings on the exchange floor.
Trading soon slowed but not be-
fore nearly half a million shares
changed hands in the first hour
alone
Prof1t-taking sales clipped ex-
treme gains here and there but gen.
orally the market seemed to be on
a solid foundation.
Heaviest dealings centered in the
motor group. Metal stocks drew
considerable backing, along with a
Fhand-picked lot of other industrial
issues
At highs for the year or more
were General Motors, Chrysler
WHY'S Overland, General Electric,
International Telephone and Viz
ginia Carolina Chemical.

Eng. Metcalf & Rivers Check Work Needed Here

The small boat harbor IS to be rehabilitated and work will start within a week or 10 days according to Territorial Engineer Metcalf and Engineer Rivers who is in charge of this district
 Army type iron pontoons or floats will be placed along the north side of the breakWater so boats tied in there will nose into the wind.
 Depths, piling penetration and specifications are on file in An chorage and as soon as completed and arranged the City will take over contract on much the same basis as the Veterans Housing Project. However, Engineer Rivers has asked that Engineer Wm Estes be placed in charge and he will make his reports direct to Rivers and the City.
 Work should start shortly,
 j. < #
 In regard to the airport not much can be done this year but arrangements are being made to commence work early in the spring.
 The fact no heavy machinery is available on the ground is the reason given.
 No contractor is available so heavy equipment must be brought in from some other point and limited money on hand would be exhausted before wheel was turned and the idle machinery would be forced to set until spring.
 Neither Metcalf nor Rivers are averse to giving a contract at this time if contractor with the 1ype of machinery required was on the ground
 Plans to spent S60 900 on the airstrip by the Army fell through and the money was diverted to Homer.
 Plans and specifications, infor- nation, etc. will be rounded up again and as soon as the paper work is done arrangements will be made to start work early in the spring.
 Mayor Lanier expects to keep close contact with both Engineers and is anxious to see work start ed as soon as possible.
