Contract For Armory
To Be Let In May
The contract for the Nome Ar
mory will be let in May, 1959.
This was the word brought back
•by Mayor Steffen Andersen from
Juneau this week.
Mayor Andersen reported that
Col. Carroll, Adjutant General of
the Alaska National Guard, said
that final details are being ironed
out, that the revenue bonds are
toeing sold now in New York and
that May is the target date for
letting the contract for the
Nome armory. The building has
been planned as a combined ar
mory and community center.
Mayor Andersen said that May
-would seem to be a rather late
date for letting contracts but it is
expected to have the building
completed in 1959.
