Nome Hearing Is
Scheduled For 2pm
August 9th.
I SEATTLE, July 22,—Final pub
lic hearings in the series of eight
to obtain views of Alaskan resi
dents on river and harbor im
provements, to be held at Anchor
age August 8, and at Nome Aug
us t9, were outlined today by Col.
L. H. Hewitt, District Engineer,
Seattle District U. S. Army Eng
ineers.
Convening at 1:30 p.m. Thurs
day, August 8, the Anchorage
hearing has been called by the
Army Engineers as a result of the
River and Harbor Act of March
2, 1945. This act calls for pre- j
liminary examinations of Anchor-!
age Harbor and Cook Inlet with
a view to providing harbor fa
cilities for Anchorage and to de
veloping hydro-electric power.
The Nome hearing scheduled
for 2 p.m. August 9, in the City
Hall results from a resolution
adopted Nov. 8, 1945, by the
House of Representatives' Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors.
This resolution directs Army En
gineers to review earlier reports
on Nome Harbor.
From 1917 to June 30, 1946, the!
Army Engineers have expended
at Nome $273,000 lor new con
struction and $774,000 for main
tenance including $60,000 contrib
uted by local interests. Tnese
expenditures tor harbor improve
ments have included jetties, re
vetment construction, channel im
provement and a turning basin.
At both hearings, Army Engin
eers will accept oral testimony
but for accuracy they request that
important facts and arguments
be submitted in writing at the
sessions. Information obtained
will be incorporated in reports
to be forwarded to the Chief of
Engineers, Washington, D. C., and
to the Secretary of War for trans
mission to Congress.
Information sought from local
interests at Anchorage and Nome
includes type and amount of re
sources and business of the area
tributary to the harbors; extent
of past and present waterborne
commerce; list of vessels now us
ings the harbor and with draft
and tonnage of each; and ade
quacy of existing harbor facili
ties with possibility of expansion.
“It is also important,” said Col.
Hewitt, “that witnesses offer tes
timony regarding benefits to be
realized by the general public
from proposed improvements and
concerning the extent local inter
ests would assist the federal gov
ernment in financing any con
struction. At Anchorage, we al
so seek information on nature and
adequacy of existing power fa
cilities and data on provision for
expansion to meet future increase
in power needs.”
CROWDED QUARTERS
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., -^Pi
District court, taking note of the
housing shortage is considering
Mrs. Earl Henry Vanderfecht’s
suit for divorce, decided it would
impose “undue hardship” on her
husband to vacate the house.
The result: Vanderfecht may
continue to occupy the sleeping
porch, provided he does not annoy
his wife. •
the usurpation or abuse of power.
And if the President will not accept and sign such
a bill, but still insists upon having his own willful way
or none, then congress should let the present natural
course of events continue—and there is every prospect,
as Mr. Landon suggests, that the country will thereby
attain and enjoy “a more normal American economic
life.”
