- Minutes Of The
Terri. Chamber
Commerce Issued
The Nome Nugget is in receipt
of a typewritten account of the
minutes of the meeting of the
Alaska Territorial Chamber of
Commerce, held at Juneau, Alas
ka, October 9, 1937, and is here
with published in full, for the in
formation it contains:
A meeting of the Board of Man
agers of the Alaska Territorial
Chamber of Commerce was held
in Juneau, Alaska, on the above
date, with the following members
present: First Vice-President, F.
A. J. Galliwas and L. W. Kilburn
of Douglas: M. S. Whittier, Wallis
S. George and John W. Jones of
Juneau; H. R. Vander Leest,
Treasurer; and Curtis G. Shat
tuck, Executive Secretary.
Vice-President Gallwas presid
ed. The minutes of the meeting
of July 31, 1937, were read and
approved.
The Board approved the action
of the Secretary in rsgard to re
cent airmail activities. On Sep
tember 21 a wire was sent to Post
master General Farley, urging
the immediate establishment of
airmail from the Pacific North
west to Alaska via the coastal
route. The advantages of this
route over an interior Canada
route were pointed out. Interest
ed parties in the Chambers at
Tacoma and Seattle were also
contacted, as was Delegate An
thony J. Dimond. Wires were
sent to the other Chambers in
Southeast Alaska, who have a
particular interest in the coastal
route. It was understood that
Anchorage, Fairbanks and other
Chambers to the westward and
interior were also considering ac
tion in an attempt to secure the
coastal route. Letters read at the
meeing indicate that Delegate Di
mond and the Pacific Northwest
Chambers of Commerce are doing
all in their power to secure the
establishment of the coastal route j
to Alaska.
There was considerable corres- -
pondence from the Tacoma Cham
her, favoring a meeting of the
Territorial Chamber in Tacoma
in December, which members of
the various Pacific Coast cham
bers would attend. The purpose
of the meeting would be to dis
cuss and outline future projects:
for Alaska. After an exchange
of several letters it was tentative
ly agreed that the Alaska Plann
ing Commission would largely
fullfll this function, and that
plans for a Territorial Chamber.
meeting in the south would be
dropped for the present.
After discussion, the Board vot
ed to purchase a page of adver
tising in the Alaska-Yukon Pio
neers’ Civic Exposition official
program, at a cost of $100.00.
No action was taken on requests
from two member chambers. The
Craig Chamber asked that the
Territorial chamber support them ;
in their fight to have their mail
service continued out of Ketchi
kan, instead of changed to Wran
gell. The recent call for bids for
mail service to Craig calls for a
route from Wrangell, instead of
Ketchikan, the present starting
point. The Board voted against
taking action, since the matter is
not of Territorial-wide interest,
and involves a local controversy.
It was felt inadvisable to take
action at this time on the request
of the Seward Chamber that the
Board take up the fight against
Japanese invasion of Alaska sal
mon fishing grounds. Since pre-J
Jvious action had been taken and
' is of record, and since Delegate
Dimond, Governor Troy and the
various chambers of the Pacific
Northwest are keeping closely in
touch with activities of the feder
al government agencies in the
matter, it was felt that nothing
could be gained a present by fur
ther action.
A letter from the Caimpbell
Fairbanks Expositions, Inc., in
vited the Territorial Chamber to
send exhibits to participate in the
National Sportsman’s Show for
1938. Since no funds are avail
able with which an exhibit could
be sent which would compare
with live fish and game exhibits
sent by many of the States, it
was voted not to participate.
The secretary reported that re
quests for the bulletin “Glimpses
of Alaska, As It was and As It
Is”, are becoming heavier, and
are being used at the rate of
about 350 per month, in addition
to the many copies being sent
out by the member chambers,
Governor Troy’s office, and thru
other similar agencies. A report
on a proposed pictorial folder
will be made to the Board of
Managers at its next meeting.
There being no other business
the meeting adjourned.
Curtis G. Shattuck,
Executive Secty.
