Matanuska Colonists Move To Cash Basis Soon
In Panner Alaska the Alaska Rehabilitation Corporation announces a cash basis will start in eight days under the no work no eat plan. Ross L. Sheely, manager, says work credit replaces credit subsistence with a last day Feb 10 for token redemption at the colonists' eslony commissary. The notice allows credit on most purchases, excludes building materials farm machinery livestock and stock feed. Rates include brush clearing up to $1 per acre, cutting trees up to $20 per acre, barns $400 poultry houses $50, stamping fencing painting work tied to time estimates. The change aims to spur land clearing and building as earlier credit faded after 1935. The corporation seeks recovery of equipment from Charles Ruddell who supplied $14 000.
