Record Breaking
Day Air Travel
26 Brought Nome
A record breaking day of air trav
el ocfcurred today when seven air
planes representing both local and
territorial air transportation com
panies, landed at the Nome airport
from Fairbanks and Anchorage,
with 26 passengers.
In the history of the aviation in
dustry in Nome that is the greatest
number of passengers to be brought
to Nome in any one day. And ac
cording to all information available
at this time there are many more
planning on coming to Nome by air
plane within the near future. Even
now several of the planes which
landed here today are streaking
their way back over the 540 miles
to Fairbanks to bring more passen
gers.
Now is the time when Nomeites
and others arriving here will see
what promises to be even a greater
problem when the first boats arrive.
There are no housing accomodations |
in Nome. The only hotel, The Lin
coln is full and many are sleeping
on the floor; there is hardly a shack
left in town in which there are not,
men staying. The question is where
are all of these men going to stay?
And what is Nome going to do in
the spring when the boats arrive?
Many of those who arrived today
will be leaving for the creeks and
northern towns to commence spring
operations, and in fact some already
left town today by other planes.
