INTERESTED IN BUILDING

Two instructive booklets on construction principles, recently issued by the Associated General Contractors, are offered free to interested builders according to Larry Moore, Manager of the Alaska Chapter of the A. G. c.
 The publication Safeguarding Public Funds" is designed to ad- wise governmental agencies on the benefits of construction of public projects under the contract method. Another booklet, ''Un- divided Responsibility is key to lower construction costs and points out the advantages of awarding general contracts to ob- tain efficiency and economy in construction projects which in- volve interlocking operations.
 Moore added 'The pamphlets are most timely in view of the many government regulations controlling supplies and permits to build under Defense Produc- ton Legislation. They illustrate the benefits of placing full re- sponsibility for a completed pro- ject under one general award''.
 Booklets will be mailed, free upon request, to municipal agen- cies, governmental bureaus and private builders of construction projects, from the Anchorage office of the Associated General Contractors.
