Suggestions and Criticisms Invited
Private Interests
Are to House
Army of Workers
J
Private enterprise is offered a
clear path by the United States
Army for the establishment of
facilities for housing and feeding
1200 expected workers at the
Fairbanks air experiment station
this spring and summer.
Word from Major Edward M
George constructing quartermast
er 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 Fair
banks by Assistant Quartermast-,
er Lieutenant James B Rankin ;
paves the way for immediate es
tablishment by private individ- j
uals or companies of camp and |
mess accomodations without re-1
striction on the part of the Army |
as to operation or sanitary fea-;
tures.
The only stipulation set down
by Major George is that no such ■
facilities may be erected within J
bounds of the Army field itself.
Lt. Rankin stated both he and
Major George who is still at the
Fairbanks station’s purchasing
office in San Francisco are anx
ious to see work begun as soon ;
as is feasible on the housing to i
prevent a placing problem when j
the large influx of employes |
pours in early this spring.
The lieutenant said he has al-,
ready been approached by at j
least 10 Fairbanksans who sought
information over the possibility
of establishing camps. His re
commendations were as follows:
Recommended Camps
Construction of temporary
bachelor camps in units for 60 to
80 men with provision for addi
tion of more units if necessary;
I and a central mess. The season
I of operation for such a camp
should be calculated as approxi
mately six months.
| "Without doubt” said Lt. Ran
j kin “the great majority of work
ers will be hired from Alaska.
“We expect to be working 3
shifts of 400 men each per day
at the season’s peak. This peak
should be reached about July 1
All outside construction should
be finished by about November 1.
"Only such craftsmen and tech
I nicians as are not immediately
available in the Territory will
j be brought here for the job.'
j The lieutenant stated a finance
II ifFicer and sfall detachment of
| about seven enlisted men are ex
pected to arrive here about Apri:
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
j Fairbanks.
The prime problem at hand"
\ said Rankin “is the launching of
, preparations to meet the housing
! and boarding needs of the work
; ers. Indications are that demand
for space will begin at the end
| of this month and increase from
i here on in.
