What To Do
With Alaska’s
Empty Oil Drums
ANCHORAGE — Someone with
a touch of genius who can figure
a way to convert several million
discarded oil drums into scrap
metal will have it made, according
to the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration’s General Services Di
vision in Alaska.
The drums are piling up at
CAA installations and hundreds
of other locations all over the
soon-to-be 49th State, most of
them abandoned and there for the
taking. The catch is how to get
them out of the interior and sold
for enough to make the project
worth while.
At every stop on the railway
from Seward to Fairbanks, along
every navigable stream, and al
most every inhabited spot, the ge
nius will find huge numbers of
these drums. They are cluttering
up the landscape because no one
knows what to do with them after
the gasoline and oil have been
used.
Under Government rules sal
vage and scrap must be sold or
destroyed, tout since the CAA can
neither destroy, hide, or other
wise dispose of the considerable
number of empty drums reposing
on its property, officials would
like to advertise them for sale.
They emphasize that no reasonable
bid could be ignored — and point
out to any interested party the
millions of drums not on govern
ment land that may be had for
free.
