COUNCIL NOTES
Editor's Note:
The following items were not
included in Council Notes last
Week because of limited space.
The subject which follows is a
report given by Fixe Chief Jose
ph Gallant, on the request of the
Mayor and Council.
Chief Galiant stated that at the
present time there are eight regu
lar volunteers. Scheduled meet
ings twice monthly are not well
attended, he said. ‘There doesn’t
seem to be much interest, except
when we have a fire”, he added.
In practically any other city the
firement are anxious to serve on
a volunteer company, he pointed
out. Councilman Hagen said that
he felt the most successful volun
teer companies are those that
have an organization within the
(company that have socials, danc
(?s, etc. and build up a fund of
their own, not one that will go
back into equipment, but will be
used by the firemen for them-1
selves. He reported that the old
volunteer fire department has
$76.27 in their “kitty” and that he
felt the former members would
be willing to donate the sum as
a starter of a social fund for the
city volunteer firemen. Chief
Gallant pointed out that it is im
portant that the volunteers know
the fire fighting equipment and
how to operate it. “During the
daytime, the regular volunteer
firemen are available and we
have little or no trouble but an
early morning fire, when some of
these volunteers who live out of
town are unavailable, we usually
have only three or four regular
men who turn out. We need more
local men in the department”, j
Letters will be written to Cordo
va and Ketchikan for informa
tion on their volunteer depart
ments and how they function, as
a beginning to get additional in
terest in the local department.

ther conditions and rate at which
the ground thaws and reaches a
stable condition.
During the critical period, gross
axle loadings and maximum
speeds allowed are reduced on
those sections where distress is
evident. The highways are wat
ched closely and evaluated by
sections in order to permit the
greatest possible use with least
damage. In exceptional cases,
truck freighting is entirely pro
hibited.
The highway system is one of
the Territory’s most valuable as
sets, and the cooperation and as
sistance of all highway users in
the spring protection program is
requested. Only the most neces
sary travel should be planned
during the critical period. Repeat
ed impact of numerous passenger
vehicles can be as injurious and
damaging as the movement of
large, heavily loaded trucks.
