Seattle, November 13 — Net profit
on contracts for navy construction
work in Alaska is only about two per
cent of the total cost of the work,
Captain R. E. Thomas, civil engi
neer corps, U. S. navy, has announc
ed.
Captain Thomas, who is public
works officer of the thirteenth naval
district and is in charge of all Alas
kan construction, also stated that
the gross fee paid to contractors is
approximately 3.72 per cent of the
total money spent.
Because of office expenses, inter
est, taxes and other fixed charges
which the contractor" rather than
the government pays, this amount
is pared down to the two per cent
figure.
Captain Thomas pointed out that
all contracts fer construction of na
val air stations and other projects in
Alaska are of the cost-plus-a-fixed-
fee type, in which the fee paid to
the contractor must include not only
the latter’s full profit, but many
Items of non-reimbursable expense
regardless of the cost of the work.
The original congressional auth
orization for building the air sta
tions at Sitka. Kodiak and Dutch
Harbor limited the fee which could
be paid to contractors to 10 per cent
of the .total cost. This was later
reduced to six per cent.
Actually, as Captain Thomas stat
ed, the fee agreed upon runs only
to a gross 3.72 per cent of the cost
of the work, and to a net profit of
approximately two per cent,

Portland, Nov. 13 (Special) — For
the month of October, the navy re
crulting bureau assigned a quota of

of the stimulus of the American Le
gion recruiting campaign, the dis
trict enlisted only 241 men. 29 short
f the mark.
However, according to Lieutenant
G. F. DeGrave, officer in charge of
navy recruiting in this district, this
is a very good record In comparison
with these of the recruiting stations
in ether parts of the country.
DeGrave emphasized the fact that
during the month of September, the
last for which returns are available,
this district enlisted more men Into
the service, in proportion to popu
lation, than any other area in the
country, with the exception of Des
Moines territory, where the navy
advertising program gave added im-
l>etus to the month's recruiting. As
the program had not at that time

Portland’s showing was made only
through the efforts of the recruiting
staff.
The lieutenant is confident that

campaign for the collection of scrap
iron and steel to aid the defense
program.
Farms of the United
States are considered one of the
mpst important sources o f scrap
supplies, which are now urgently
needed for use by steel manufactur
ers for combining with pig Iron.
Robert B. Taylor of Adams, chair
man of the Oregon USDA defense
board, is asking the cooperation of
all county boards in carrying on a
drive for the collection of scrap in
connection with the current cam
paign to see that usable machinery
is repaired early for use next year.
A graduated scale of prices for
farm scrap throughout the United
States, based on distance frcir. con
suming centers, has been set up so
that farmers will know approxi
mately what they will receive for
their material at the various assem
bling points. For Oregon a price
of»61 cents per hundred pounds at
Portland has been established. The
amount received by the farmers,
however, will be this twice less the
cost of shipping to Portland and
the cost of preparing the scrap for
shipment to the steel mills, the lat
ter being appreximately 12 cents per
hundred pounds.
The prices paid would not alone
be enough to insure the thorough
combing c f the rural areas for scrap,
points out Chairman Taylor, but
farmers will profit in other ways by
helping prr.vide an adequate supply
of iron and steel scrap. I f the flow
of scrap is not sufficient to meet
needs, steel output will be further
reduced, which will mean that farm
ers wHl encounter still more d iffi
culty In obtaining machinery and
other steel products. Besides, it will
be a patriotic service.
The O. S. C. extension service is
cooperating by urging county agents
and 4-H club organizations to help
in the scrap collection campaign in
every way possible.
