AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE
OF NOME
- e
Several years ago a movement was started to obtain a harbor for Nome,
fudging irom plans to be carried out this summer by the C. S. Engineering
Corps, we are of the opinion that the object of our endeavours will soon 4>a
realized. With the completion of the Harbor, it is logical, that the lighterage
facilities be placed there in order to prove to the Government that such
expenditures are of great benefit and also prove the necessity for further develop
ment.
I have organized the Nome Harbor Lighterage Co. Articles of Incorpor
ation have been tlle<l in Alaska, making it an Alaskan enterprise. Thesw f
Articles give us the power to enter into many other fields, permitting us to
undertake the development of some of our dormant industries which in turn wilt
produce labor and* wealth for our growing population.
Years ago it was my ambitiou to carry out this plan under municipal owner
ship, but, owing to many adverse circumstances, was prevented from doing so.
I have waited patiently until the Harbor was made dependable in order to again
try and make my promises good to the public. Municipal owned public utilities
have not been a success, due to the ever changing management under political
domination and has invariably resulted in unprofitable ventures.
The plan that 1 am now offering will prove a morfl efficient method of ^
Handling the situation.
On Monday, June 5, we will open the subscription books of the Nome
Harbor Lighterage Company, inviting you to become a part of this corporation
by subscribing for stock. You will share in the profits, and have a voice in
the management of ithe business, thereby assisting materially in the reduction
of operating costs which Is so essential to the welfare of our Division, especially
tne development of the thitfTne industry.
Stock could have been sold in tbe States but, outside capital means that the
profits go out of the country. Nome is entitled to the profits and benefits
and with it build ber future.
Tbe Nome Hart>or Lighterage Company is capitalized for $-50,000.00, of
which $40,000.00 is common and $10,000.00 preferred. Kacta share of stock
is valued at $10.00 par.
By purchasing common stock, you become a permanent stockholder and
will be intltled to a share in tbe profits through dividends.
By purchasing ^preferred stock you will he assured of dividends of Six per
cent per annum payable on the first days of January and July of each year, aad u
your money will ibe returned to you at any time after three years.
By purchasing either kind of stock you will be helping yourself. Nome, and
the Second Division.
YOURS FOR PROGRESS, :
A. POLET, President
