TELEPHONE; LIGHT
COMPANIES BUSY
RE-WIRING CITY
In line with other developments,
the Northern .Dight and Power Co.
and the Alaska Telfephone and Tele
graph Co., is providing service for
work now going on in the burned
area of Nome.
An interview with O. S. Weaver,
general manager of both companies,
revealed that about twenty-five mil
es of telephone wiring were lost and
completely destroyed. In addition to
this about teh miles of power and
lighting line \frere destroyed, in
cluding primary, secondary and ser
vice wiring.
In the area burned by the flames,
approximately one hundred poles,
with cross arms and insulators, to
gether with transformers were de
stroyed. During the past month the
power company has been busy in
stalling about 150 new poles. The
new poles are being set up along
the newly plotted streets and av
enues, so as to be available for the
proper system, once the new busi
ness district is built.
With the period of shftrt daylight
once more in Nome, numerous busi
ness houses now being constructed
require the use of electricity so that
crews of carpenters may continue
working their full shifts. The light
company electricians are busy wir
ing and installing equipment so that
construction work may proceed as
rapidly as possible. Many miles of
temporary wiring have been install
ed for that purpose.
Approximately the samfe amount
of wiring for both telephone and
power will be installed to serve
Nome. In about ten days or two
weeks, according * to reports, the
commercial telephone system should
be in operation. The power systems
in Nome are being installed along
modern and economical lines and
t^e company should be congratulat
ed upon the service which they are
giving at this time, as the task of
re-wiring the city is one which re
quires much time and considerable
expenditures of money.
