Alaska Housing
Fraud, Deception
Charged in Suit
Portland -(CPD- Two Oregon
, business firms and three other
defendants are being sued by
the federal government for
more than $6,000,000. The
suit charges fraud and decep
tion in construction of Aleu
tian Homes, a housing project
near Kodiak, Alaska.
Defendants are Ray Wood
bury, owner of the Columbia
Supply Co., Portland,' and
president of Aleutians Homes
Inc., an Oregon corporation
which is also a defendant;
Alex B. Carlton of the Carlton
Lumber Co., The Kodiak Con
struction Co., and Donald M.
Lehman, an employe of Aleu
tian Homes.
The complaint asks double
the money allegedly paid by
the federal housing and home
financing agency. The amount
was provided as interim fi
nancing in several install
ments for the project in 1953.
The Kodiak Construction
Co. was general contractor
for the work, which was com
pleted but is in the hands of
a receiver. A foreclosure suit
is pending by the federal gov
ernment in Alaska.
The defendants are accused
of claiming that the Carlton
Lumber Co. was supplying
pre-fabricated homes for ship
ment to, and erection in,
Alaska. The complaint states,
however, that only the shells
were provided.
Woodbury has also sued the
government for $800,000 and
