MAKE PLANS NOW
FOR CAPITAL site,
IS LIONS. REQUEST

A plea for the making of immed-
late plans for location for not
only the new 100000 Territorial
Building, but for suitable capital
grounds for the state" of Alaska,
was made today by Val Poor at
the neon luncheon meeting of the
Lions Club at the Baranof.
Poor told Lions he believed the
key to keeping the capital in the
Channel area was the planning for
adequate grounds surrounding the
new Territorial Building, with spec
Tic plans and tax free sites avail
able for state building units.
The speaker, whose special guests
included Mike Pusich, mayor Of
Douglas, told members that Douglas
has offered tax free land to the
Territory for a capitol site in the
event Juneau is unable to furnish
a location which would be scenic
and sufficient.
He asked the Lions to spearhead
move to organize civic groups
frcm both Juneau and Douglas tc
appoint a central committee fol-
the investigation of suitable capital
grounds.
Guests included former Attorney
General Ralph Rivers, Frank Met
calf, Alaska Highway Engineer, ana
Bill Ward of Fairbanks.
Prior to the introduction OF the
days speaker, Lions spent time dis
cussing their part in the drive fof
a city ambulance scheduled to get
under way here the end of the
week. Bill Matheny, Lion represent
tative on the 3-club committee, gave
a report to members on plans.
1t Delbert Applegate invited the
Lions to attend the special Army
Day luncheon Wednesday noon at

Building Construction
Reaches 2-Year High
In U. ). During 1o48

The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
yesterday estimated the dollar
volume Of city building construc-
tion of all kinds reached a 21-
year-old high in the United States
during 1948.
Building construction in all
cities, as measured by building
permits issued and Federal con-
tracts awarded, was valued at
$1,000, 600. 900 last year. a jump Of
Is per cent over valuations report
ed in 1947.
Building in the District alone
reached a dollar volume Of $49.-
326.000 in 1948, compared to $43.-
016.0o0 the year before.
The District figures, which do
not include those for the Metro
politan Area where most Of the
construction in this region has
taken place, showed that 3,797
dwellings were authorized at
valuation of $23,4S9, 900 in 1e4s
compared to 4,303 in 1947. at
valuation Of s2s.s12,ooo.
Throughout the country, the
valuation of all city building in
1948 rose 70 per cent from the
February low of $414,000,000 to
the April peak of $715,000,0o0
BIS said this came close to equal
ing the all-time monthly rec
ord set in March, 1916.
The unusually high figure for
March. 1916, however. came as a
result Of builders efforts to get
work under way on higher priced
homes and commercial construc-
ton before restrictions against
such building went into effect un-
der the Veterans Emergency
Housing Program.
Although one-family dwellings
comprised three-fourths Of the
1948 housing authorized in cities,

mits we're granted gained by 81
per cent over those in the previous
