Col Hewitt Held
Hearing Friday On
Nome Harbor
Due to a delay by weather con
ditions, the Alaska Airlines plane
arrived late on last Friday with
Col. L. H. Hewitt. The meeting
whicn had been called for 2:00
p.m. was delayed until 4:30 p.m.
Col. Hewitt of the Seattle Dist
rict Engineers , met with Nome
citizens in the City Hall, calling
the meeting to order, reading the
purpose of the hearing and asking
for all the information available.
M. S. Mitrovitch, president of
teh NWA Chamber of Commerce
reported for the chamber, offer
ing a comprehensive report which
had been carefully prepared by
the Harbor Committee of the
Chamber.
Col. Hewitt read the complete
report aloud and asked for fur
ther information which he l'elt
was necessary to substantiate the
given facts and give him a better
opportunity to present as complete
a picture as possible.
The Chamber is asking that the
jetties be extended 1200 feet and
built with a hook so that the
southwesterly winds will not in
terfere with the protection of small
boats seeking refuge in the har
bor.
The Chamber report also asks
that the harbor basin for turning
and docking of small boats be
completed as originally planned
by the U. S. Engineer and included
in the project.
The third project asked for was
a seawall made necessary by beach
erosion during the past fifty years.
This “seawall” or breakwater, is
believed to be of major importance
to all property owners along the
Bering Sea shores of the Nome ar
ea, as a protection from storm
damage.
The question was raised as to
the necessity for a better harbor.
Facts were revealed that f'sh
ing boats could not operate in the
Bering Sea because of lack of
adequate shelter during high
storms. Demurrage on passen
ger and freight carriers at times
runs as high as $3,000 per day,
resulting in the high freight and
lighterage rates caused by the
delays in unloading the ships.
The hearing brought out the
fact that boats with greater than
a five-foot-draft could not enter
the harbor for protection. It was
stated that boats the size of the
Motorships METEOR and KOT
ZEBUE needed safe harborage in
these waters.
Col. Hewitt urged the Chamber
to gather more data on the sub
ject and to present it to the Seat
tle Engineers Office as soon as
possible.
The Colonel stated that the
small boat basin as originally pro
jected, was awaiting funds, and
would be completed when such
funds were made available.
A discussion followed as to the
possibility of a breakwater or sea
wall, bringing out interesting facts
regarding the expense of construc
tion. Gordon Wildes, construc
tion engineer for the R. J. Som
mers Construction Co., stated that
a good grade of rock was avail
able in sufficient quantities on
Anvil and King Mountains, and
which could easily be brought
to the harbor site by railroad.

V. '.NDPOP INSPIRES AMPUTEE
Art Student Ray Leonard, 19, Minneap
0 is, who lost his left leg in Luxembourg,
says his g'andfcther inspired him to mini
mize his loss and proceed with art studies,
under provisions of Public Law 16. The
grandfather froze both legs I years ago
end they had to be amputated. “I said
to myself,” he recalls, "If grandfather
can get along so well with both legs gone,
1 certainly should be able to maneuver on
one." Art teachers say Leonard shows
considerable talent.
He estimated the cost at about
' $2.00 per cubic yard.
Another possibility suggested
i was the Cape Nome area where
