few short months of summerwere
not sufficient to carry out the
economy through the winter. The
plan is to hunt and fish during
the seasons of plenty and store in
the cold storage plant to de used
during the winter, thereby lower
ing the living costs to the na
tives. •
A. Polet, member of the Alaska
Development Board, spoke of past
and present needs of the Second
Division, stating that the needs
are getting greater and greater
each year. The chamber has in
creased its demands many-fold
since first plans were laid many
years ago. He talked of the many
projects which have been com- ;
pleted in the past and of the many
needs which are required in the
present picture.
A few of the new projects pro
posed by Mr. Polet are: hydro
electric power, agricultural ex
periment station, trade relations
with Siberia, Territorial assay of
fice, housing, aid to bush pilots, a
tannery, tourist and recreational
facilities, development of small
towns and native industries,
building materials and special
representation in Washington.
These and other projects are
needed, he said, for the proper de
velopment of our country. The
department of interior is already
on the job with a coordinator for
future planning and development
in Alaska.

LAKE SUCCESS, t/P) — Secre
tary-general Trygve Lie asked
yesterday for $33,469,587 to oper
ate the United Nations in 1949.
The figure is about a million
dollars under the 1948 budget
and generally compares with the
annual expenditures of states
such as Arizona, Idaho, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Lie’s figures go before the 58
national general assembly in
Paris next month for approval.
Despite the slash, moves already
are under way in the U. N. to cut
the total still more. The first of
these came in a report from the
assembly’s advisory committee
which believe a million and a
half can be lopped off.
The United Nations is financed
by its member nations in accord
ance with a scale of contributions
based on the ability to pay. The
United States pays the largest
share—about 39 per cent.

tion superintendent on the new
hospital, who reported on the
progress of the building to date.
He invited everyone to visit the
site and look over the building.
Donald Lyle, chairman of the
roads and harbors committee, re
ported that the Alaska Road Com
mission under Supt. John Hudert
was doing a good job of repair to
existing roads, under very ad
verse conditions.
Rod Pohl, of the Gold Beach
Dredging Co., stated that he
would like to see more coopera
tion among the citizens of the
town in support of the seawall
and that it would benefit ^not
only those on the south side of
Front Street, but all of Nome.
Frank Love told the Chamber
group of the problems confronting
the Nome School Board, of which
he is president, and that the Nome
Territorial School is muc h 1 y
overcrowded, the expenses of op
eration increased, and the Terri
torial allowance decreased, throw
ing an additional burden on the
City of Nome.
The enrollment has increased in
the past few years from 140, to
280 in 1947-8, and it is expected
that the enrollment for the com
ing year will be over 300. This is
well beyond the normal capacity
of the school. One reason for the
additional burden was the closing
of the Alaska Native Service
schools in the Territory and put
ting the Eskimo children into the
Territorial school.
Mrs. Carl Lomen stated it was
a grand feeling to be back home
after the strenuous summer in
Washington and that she was
pleased to attend the chamber
dinner.
President Harper stated in con
clusion of the meeting that there
would be another general meeting
in the near future but that it
would be announced at a later
date.

were four fires during the month ;
of July in which no damage was
reported.
Lot 6 in Block 95 was sold to
Woodbury Abbey for the sum of
$50.
A letter was received by the j
City Clerk pertaining to the $2500
annual fund for the harbor im- i
provements. The amount has for
the past ten years been paid out
of road funds designated for the
Second Division, but it has been
stated by the Territorial Engineer
that the City of Nome will have to
resume responsibility for the pay
ment of the $2500 annually. The
letter was tabled.
Carl Lomen reported fully to
the City Council on his activities
in Washington, D. C., relative to
the passage of the Nome Seawall
Bill. He told of the many friends
which Nome has in Washington,
and the good work they did in se
curing the passage of the bill for
Nome. The many Senators and
Congressmen who come to Nome
in the past several years and were
entertained by Nome’s Chamber
of Commerce and civic-minded
citizens were indeed energetiv in
their support for the needed sea
wall.
