MAJORITY OF
APPROVED WORK
NOW UNDERWAY
Among the resolutions approved
by the last Alaska Legislature was
that of Work Relief Projects. The
Legislature considered each of the
projects listed meritorious and that
they were greatly needed, but was
unable to appropriate the necessary
funds because of economic condi
tions.
However, since Federal relief
funds have been released to stim
ulate conditions, Alaska has bene
fited largely, the latest project be
ing beginning of construction of
the Homer-Kenai Road, which is
now well under way.
In sequence, as listed under Road
Projects in the Resolution approv
ed by the 1933 Legislature and
which was practically written by
Rep. J. S. Hofman of Seward, the
Homer-Kenai Road came first.
Then Kenai-Russian River Road,
tliamna Bay to Lake Iliamna Road,
Seward-U. s. Navy Yard Reserve
Road < from Seward along the west
shore of Resurrection Bay to the
head of the bay); Resurrection
River-Russian Lake; Connecting
road between Seward and Lake
Kenai Highway and Moose Pass
Highway; Cooper Landing-Moose
Pass Road; Cordova Radio Station
Road; Valdez-Robe Lake Road.
Other Public Works approved at
that time and contained in the
same resolution, was: Seward
i'lood Control, Valdez Dike, Cordova
Harbor for small boats; Valdez
Harbor for small boats; Improving
Seward Harbor for small boats.
It will be noted that work on
practically all of these projects
have either been completed or are
iow under construction.
The beginning of construction I
>f the Homer-Kenai project means I

HOMER NEWS
By special correspondent
The Alaska Road Commission
was here for six weeks repairing
the road under the direction of Joe
Bell. Mrs. Bell accompanied him as
cook for the camp, and their two
daughters spent part of the time
with them. Miss Bonnie spent a
few days in Seldovia, the guest of
Miss June McKullough.
» » * • '
At the present time, Mr. Ed
munds, superintendent of the Alas
ka Road Commission for this area
of Alaska, is here with Mr. Gram
mer, surveyor, arranging for road
work for the fall. It is understood
that $5,000 has been appropriated!
for the project. The road from the
5-mile post to Mr. Shafer’s will be
repaired and an outlet will be
made for the road down the sec
tion line on the west end to the
slough, and also down the section
| line to the bay near Mr. Miller’s,
! on the east end.
Every little bit helps and it will
give employment to many that
have had no work this summer as
well as help the whole community
and it is greatly appreciated by all.
Thomas Shelford has been made
foreman of the work; he is well
liked and is certain to do a good
job.
■S * A * |
Mr. Charles Erickson has com-;
pleted the work on Miss Richard
son’s cabin, and Mr. N. O. Sved
lund has built the fireplace and as
soon as her brother, Mr. Gareth
Richardson, has done a few little
things such as painting and var
nishing, the cabin will be ready for
her to move into after she com
pletes her school in Chignik some
time in October. Gareth Richard
son spent the summer in Chignik
with her.
Mr. Thomas Shelford has finish
ed his cabin and painted it and it
is a very comfortable bachelor’s
cabin, though we hope that it may
not remain so lnog.
There is one missing from our
crowd for a few months, Mrs. Alex
Matheson is spending a few
months with Mrs. Smith at Port
Graham. She is greatly missed and
we hope that she will hurry home.

Mrs. Ray Rasmusson and daugh
ter, of Anchorage, is spending a few
days with her sister, Mrs. Wendell
Thurston.
Mrs. Hannah Klockentager and i
her small daughter are new resi- '
dents here. _Mrs. Klockentager is
the teacher for the Homer school
and the children, as well as the
community, are very high in their
praise of her work. We are very
glad to have her, indeed.

Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Svedlund are
spending a few weeks with Mr. N.
O. Svedlund, hunting and visiting
with their many friends. Miss Bet
'tv Yvonne Barnard, grandchild of
Mr. Svedlund, is with them and no
need to say that she is enjoying
herself. Her father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Bud Barnard, will
soon join them from Kodiak,
where they have spent the sum
mer: it will be a regular family re
union.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hansen are;
occupying the Andrew Sholin house
as he will have charge of the foxes.1
They are a welcome adition to the j
social life in Homer and we hope
they will like it here. Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Sholin have moved into their
own house which has been remod
eled this summer.
We find three boys from the
Jesse Lee Home working on their
nlace on the school section under
the direction of Mr. Groth. They
are making progress and have put
up quite a bit of hay and done a!
lot of fencing.
