Inyo, Mono, Alpine Included in Fallout Shelter Survey Program

Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson announced this week the award of three contracts 
for detailed fallout shelter surveys in the 19 counties of the 2nd district, including 
Inyo, Mono, and Alpine.

The contracts were awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers which has been given the 
responsibility of making the surveys in California.

The surveys will determine capacities and degree of protection afforded in existing 
buildings and recommend what needs to be done to improve on protection afforded.  It is 
hoped, Army officials told Congressman Johnson, that the surveys will be completed in 
August.

The results will be turned over to local state and federal civil defense officials for 
use in overall civil defense planning.  The contracts awarded were to:

Porter & O'Brien of Sacramento, a $77,.940 contract to conduct surveys in 11 counties 
including Alpine, Amador, Calavaras, El Dorado, Mariposa, Mono, and Tuolumne.

Leo A. Daly, San Francisco, a $41,249 contract to conduct surveys in nine counties 
including Inyo.

DeLeuw Cather, San Francisco, a $29, 250 contract to conduct surveys in 20 counties 
including Butte, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Pluman, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, 
Tehama, and Trinity.
