Frank, a cement expert, is at Se
ward, where lie intends building a
?100,000 plant for the manufacture
of Portland cement from clinker.
The plant "will have an initial
dally capacity of 600 barrels and
will give employment to about 50
men to start with. The location of
the works will ibe near the new gov
erument docks. Clinker will be
brought north in a vessel construct
ed for the purpose, whicli -will al
so transport the finished product
to other Alaskan coast towns.
I "The lack of limestone and clay
f.}r the manufacture of Portland ce
ment ill Alaska has been respon
sible for tile absence of cement fac
tories in the territory," said Frank.
"The enormous price 0{ the import
