Plans for a new Fed eral Housing Administration-insured housing project were revealed last night by Bill Ellis Fairbanks manager of the Independent Lumber company.

Ellis appeared at a meetrag of the planning and zoning commission with a request for re-zoning from "residential" to "restricted residential" a large tract of Chena river land now used by the lumber firm for mill and lumber storage space. Old Building Doomed "We're going to get rid of the old buildings and start building houses. Probably five at a time as demand warrants," he explained. The immediate question in the commission's mind was the proposed Big Bend plated right-of-way to -run' from the Richardson highway through the western section of the Ladd AFB reservation to Gaffney road with a connection through the city to the new bridge. This arterial route has been under investigation for more than a year and has been given, priority by the city council to run along Clay street within the city limits.

Such a route would make it necessary to cross the Independent Lumber property.

"I never saw you draw a subdivision like this 'before, Ed," Mrs. Ladessa Nordale commented to Ed Philleo, acting chairman of the commission. Philleo's engineering service laid out initial plans for the project.

Ellis interposed: "We want the lots irregularly shaped. We don't want it to look like another Island Homes. And the curved streets will slow down traffic."

Within the plans presented by Ellis ran several curved 50-foot streets.

City Engineer Donald McDonald III said the Alaska' Road Commission wants to build a four-lane highway from the Richardson to Gaffney road and has asked a 200-foot right-of-way. This would make it necessary to widen at least one street through the project if the arterial route (Continued On Page 2) SENATORS ARRIVE--Warren G.

Griffith 246 Ralph L. Caine 232 Gen. Atkinson Accepts Haines Pipeline in Brief Ceremony (See earlier story, Page 9) Warning against depending wholly on any one source of supply to Alaska, Lt. Gen. J.

H. Atkinson, commander in chief, Alaska, delivered the keynote speech yesterday afternoon at the dedication in Haines of the Haines- Fairbanks pipeline. Avoids Open Set Gen. Atkinson termed the pipeline route "relatively secure and added: "In these days of long- range, submarines and aircraft, no supply line is absolutely safe. Certainly, we could not rely on our present port locations and supply routes for complete support of Alaska's miiltary base complex in wartime.

The 400 miles of open water across the gulf of Alaska from Cross Sound to Prince William Sound presents a hazard we would rather not risk unless we have no ternative." al- It is entirely possible, said the commander, that the ope'ration of the pipeline will not meet all our requirements. But it will augment our existing capacity, he stated and insure increased supply of fuels and lubricants in case of an emergency. Will Save Money The 626 miles of steel pipeline just completed" cost the American people 40 million dollars, observed Gen. Atkinson. However, he said, projected savings of million dollars yearly, primarily in transportation costs, will amortize the line in a little more than 10 years.

The speaker, who officially accepted the line on behalf of the military forces in Alaska, was commander of the Alaskan Air Command in 1947, the year the idea" of the pipeline project was conceived.
