Lieutenant Corput of the I’.S.
Signal Corps, who was an arriving
passenger aboard the Department
of Commerce Aviation Branch
plane in company With Murray
Hall, day before yesterday, Is visit
1ng Nome on a tour of observa
tion into the conditions under
which the stations in the system
have to operate and live.
In explaining some of the con
ditions under which the wireless
system hae to operate. Lieuten
ant Corput stated that all of the
large stations, at Anchorage, Fair
banks and Nome, during the sum
aner season are considerably short
handed, Such stations as Nulato
-and Kanakanak. situated in small
^«wds are also considerably over-1
.wrorked.
Every effort, the Lieutenant sia
led. is being carried forward to
making the system as efficient and
.serviceable as possible, within the
limits of the appropriations grant
ed from Congress.
Due to economy measures the
appropriations of the XT. S. Signal
tCorps have been cut considerable j
during the past few years. This
has required the dosing down or'
several stations in outlying towns
and villages. in most' cases the
sale of them has been made, either
I to private individuals or to the
| tow n itself.
I Several radio telephones have
been placed In operation whereby
the smaller towns may communi
cate with three large centers such
as Nome, Fairbanks and Anchorage
where laTge radio telephone sets
have been installed by the service
for this type of communication.
Lieutenant Corput expects to re
turn to his head office at Anchor
age, where he controls the affairs
of the Alaska Division of the U.S.
Signal Corps, in the near future.
