Whiz Plans Construction and Fort Greely Sale Change
Whiz plans to build a cold storage plant after purchasing Cannery land from Erskine at the waterfront, with material shortages delaying this season's work. The War Assets Administration changed Ft. Greely surplus sale to Priority status, reserving March 1 for priority buyers and opening to general public March 2. The city received a $3,462.50 tax refund from the Territorial auditor covering 1946 to 1947.
