McCarthy Commercial Club
An important meetingof the
McCarthy Commercial Club was
held last Tuesday evening for
the purpose of electing a repre
sentative from here to attend
the Convenion at Cordova and |
other matters of interest !n this !
section, ;
J. P. Hubnck called the meet !
i‘>g to order and in a few words!
stated the object of the‘meeting, j
Ths first business transacted ;
was the nomination for a new '
secretary. Mr. Woodman, who
has acted in that capacity for
the past year, tendered his res
ignation in order that the (J. S.
Commissioner, Wm. D. CoppeR
noil be elected. The resignation
was accepted and on the motion
of E. Gercken seconded by W.
Meyers which was carried unan
imously, Mr. Coppernoll was e
lected to that office.. Mr. J. B.
O.Neill then gave an interesting
talk on the conditions of this
section especially regarding to
roads and trails and thought
that more advertising should be
done to bring the needs of this
section be fore the public. Fur
thermore, Mr. O’Neill stated that
the government received more
revenue in taxes from this sec
tion than any part of Alaska. He
strongly recommended that the
secretary take these matters up
by correspondence with the var.
ious departments at Washington
D.C. For this work the secretary
should receive a salary, and his
motion that the secretary re
ceive a salary of $25 monthly
which was seconded by J. R
Barrett, was passed. On motion
of J. Schultz, seconded by John
Amber, Wm. D. Coppernoll was
elected to represent the Club at
the Convention at Cordova July
3rd next. Carried. Mr. Copper
noil in reply thanked the mem
bers for the honor and said he
would do all in his power to get
us the right kind of representa
tion He believed in co-operation
and had great faith in the pro
posed All Alaska Chamber of
Commerce, where the needs of
each section would be carefully
considered and influence used
to secure the appropriation of
government monies for roads &
trails where most needed.
Mr. Coppernoll believes that
with a little effort on our part
the membership of this Club
could be increased to three
hundred. John Amber & Jack
Schultz were then appointed by
the president to solicit new
members and subscriptions.
The great necessity for a road
around the Pot hole was then
brought up for discussion. Mr.
Barrett suggested the matter be
held over till the arrival ot Ma
jor Gotwals, who was expected
within a few days There being
no further business the meeting
adjou rned.
