Of course, all this shopping is bound to make one by Abasaa hungry. So, the Chamarro Village also has numerous restaurants and cafes that sell the local specialties. One of the unique things about this place is the Wednesday Night Market which sees artisans and craftsmen from all over the island come to display their talents and sell their works of art. Those who have an interest in learning such crafts as woodworking or weaving will find these artisans willing to impart their knowledge on the craft at a nominal fee.

Bias Director of Commerce , Department _ of Commerce______ _1 _____________ ________________ _ Post Office Box 682 Agana, Guam 96910 Dear Mr. Bias: « We are pleased to reply to your letter concerning Guam’s participation in the historic preservation grants-in-aid program of the National Park Service, administered by the National Register of Historic Places. Under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (80 Stat. 915), as amended, Guam is eligible to participate in the program. The listing of apportionments to which you refer is, I presume, the Fiscal Year 1972 apportionment. It shows the allocations for States that previously submitted to the National Park Service projections of their matching capabilities and needs for historic preservation. For any State that did not provide such projections, .5 of one percent, or $29,900, of the Fiscal Year appropriation passed by Congress was put in reserve. You will be pleased to learn that the original stipulation that the State apply for its reserve by March 31, 1972, has been discontinued, and the - funds are still being held in reserve for Guam. You are doubtless anxious to know how you may receive funds from that reserve. Under the Act of 1966, a State is eligible to receive grants to assist in its survey and planning program and In acquiring or developing historic properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places only after it has submitted a State Historic Preservation Plan that has received National-Park Service approval.
