New School Addition Possible Soon Through
 Federal Aid Program

Wrangell is practically a cinch
 to have a new school building
 sOOn-that is, in a year or so.
 And, what's more, it may not
 cost local residents a cent.
 This fact was revealed after the visit of Lester Marx, representing the Community Facilities Service, and four others who are making tour of Southeastern Alaska towns to explain the new act to city officials and to determine how many projects are needed.
 Others who came with Marx were: Comdr. Edward Chester, aide to Gov. Ernest Gruening; Miss Ger trude Wentzler, representing the Board of Public Health, hospital division; pr. James c. Ryan, com missioner of education, and William Featherstone, representing h e Alaska Native Service.
 Commander Chester accompanied the group representing the gover- nor's office because Governor Grue- ming must certify each projects as being necessary before the Commu- nity Facilities Service acts on the application,
 Shortly after their arrival here, the group met with city council members, school board members, health department representatives and other interested persons at the City Hall. Marx then explained the purpose of the act and it's me- chanics.

Equipment Ready
 For Playground

The first shipment of playground equipment arrived recently for the playground across the street from the City Hall. Installation will be- gin as soon as the draining of the ground has been completed. Mrs. Joyce Hay, chairman of the play ground committee, reported. It is hoped that this can be accomplished before a cold spell sets in and freezes the ground.
 "The genuine spirit of coopera- tions shown by the people of Wran- gell through their financial con- tibutions, as well as monies raised by the Civic Club playground com mittee, has made 1t possible for the attainment of the goal set to complete this project" Mrs. Hay said.
 The Wrangell Civic Club entered the playground project in a contest launched by the General Fedora tion of Womens Clubs to build bet ter communities throughout the United States, Hawaii and Alaska. The contest ends January 15, 1850, therefore it is necessary that the equipment be installed soon. Prizes totaling $60,O00 will be awarded winners. The clubs will be divided into three classes on the basis of size, so large clubs will not have an advantage over small ones. ADDED PRIZES
 There will be priezs of $5,0O0, $3,000 and $2,O0O for the three national winners in each classifi- cation. There will also be an add ed $5,000 prize for the club whose project is judged best in the en- tire country.
 All prize money won must be used to promote other civic i'm proyements. The club will be judged on the basis of It's projects value to the community, thorough ness of organization, effort expend- ed, results obtained and the qual- ity of the clubs report on their community service activities.
 Articles reviewing progress being made by clubs throughout the na- tion appeared in the September is sue of the General Federation Clubwoman," and also in a recent issue of the Christian Science Mon itor. Wrangell was the only town in Alaska mentioned.
 AS soon as the ground is proper ly drained and ready for the play equipment, a request will be made for volunteers willing to devote perhaps a Saturday or Sunday aft ernoon to installing the equipment.
 Anyone wishing to offer assist ance may contact any of the play ground committee members: Mrs. Joyce Hay, Mrs. Richard Sharn- broich, Mrs. Charles Moore, Mrs. Chet Steear, Mrs. Herbert Bjorge, Mrs. Frank Denny, Mrs. George Sumption, Mrs. Frank zepp or Mrs Flank Wrebb.

BOON TO ALASKA

"In my opinion, this is one
 of the most important bills for
 the benefit of Alaska ever passed
 by congress-" Marx declared. He
 said the bill, in essence, provides
 a means for cities to "help them
 selves"
 Marx traced the history of events leading up to passage of the ac. The bill was first introduced by Delegate E. L. Bartlett in the S0th Congress, but too late for action Bartlett then re-introduced it ill the house during the 80th Congress. simultaneously with its introduce tion in the senate by Sen. Warren c. Magnuson of Washington. The Community Facilities Act came about as the result of a meet ling of all government agencies con- cerned with Alaska ordered by the President three years ago. The President requested that a study IOG OL ACGuOO in Alaskan towns and appropriate Legislation provided. The Commu- nifty Facilities Service Act is the result. It provides an immediate ap- lpropriation of 1 million dollars in leash and 4 million dollars in con ktract authority-with another 70 million dollars within the next five years if Congress can be sold on the need.
 Marx explained that no town is :'getting something for nothing. Il The government expects to be paid back 50 cents on the dollar for all funds provided and each town must show a need for each project and also must show they can pay their share or provide reasonable SC. curity." In regard to the latter, he intimated the government was moi too difficult to deal with.
 What actually takes place, Mar1 lsaid, is that the government builds the project needed-letting all thu contracts, supervising and inspect ling during construction and ah sorbing all the headaches - anC then selling the finished produe to the community at a discount The interest rates Is 2 per cen and it differs from the old P.W.A in that the government holds n, mortgage and after the project i turned over to the community Un cle Sam washes his hands of tn whole thing. Also, no payments O interest is due until after the gov ernment delivers the finished prod uct to the applicant.
 WRANGELL NEEDS $50O,O00 II Now, as to Wrangell's needs. I It is generally agreed that ad ditional school facilities herr is No. 1 on the local list.
 Cost of such a building will b, about s200,000, of which tn towns share would be $100,000. Dr. Ryan pointed out that wran gell should receive between $15,O0 and $20.000 annually from the ney tobacco tax. The town of Wran

gell, he said, can issue bonds to be retired with tobacco tax money and thus, with the governments $100,000 matching funds, can build a new school. The city of Wrangell would not be nicked a cent on this project.
 There are other city improve ments needed, too, and applications were also made for them. They are:
The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-12-02
Water system-$125,o ,o03. Sewer system-$75,0O

Water system-$125, ,00J.
 Sewer system-$75,000.
 Boat harbor (floats and doclSs) -$60,
 The water and sewer projects can be financed this way: The city sales tax can be used only for health and education, and the wa ter and sewer problem falls into this category. Therefore, bonds for the amounts needed can be issued against sales tax revenues and the government will supply the other half.
 The boat harbor improvements can be obtained by securing a share of the territorial gasoline tax with of course, a matching portion from the government.
 The whole act is based on a fiva year program, with 5 million dol- lars in 1949-50 and 42 million re- quested for 1950-51. Marx said his department hopes to speed up the program and get all the money be- fore the five-year period.
 Tuesday evening the group was entertained at the home of Mrs. Doris Barnes and were given the opportunity to meet many for local residents and discuss the further the particulars of the act. The five left Wednesday morning for Petersburg.
