DELEGATESULZER’S DEATH
SHOCK TO ALASKANS
The news of the death of o u
Delegate, the Her. Charles A.
Sulzer was a shock to the Terri
tory and community.
A man of sterling qualities* tin
questioned integrity, a true A
laskan. always ready to ^rive his
attention to the smallest ni itter
in the interests of the small far
mer and miner, we have suffer
ed a loss.
V\ e extend our deep synvvifhy
to his bereaved widow and so i
in the sudden sorrow which has
come upon them
THE BRIDGE SOLUTION
At last there is hope of some;
action on the bridge qm Mion.
The continued agitation of our
Commercial Club and others!
has resulted in the matter
being placed before the Terri
torial Legislature in the shape
of a bill recently introduced by
Representative Slater for an ap
propriation of §25,000 dollars to
complete the Nizina Bridge
The Hon. Slater is making ev
ery effort to secure us, by the!
passage of this bill as large a|
grant as is available this session i
This appropriation, however, is
totally inadequate for the work
which is to be done, but acting
on r-ho principle of “a bird in the I
hand is worth two in the bush”
it would be well to use the ap
propriation if the Hill is pissed,
always keeping in view the
fact that we must have a per
manent structure and that it
will cost a much greater sum
than any that has yet been!
granted.
An appiopria' on of $21),000
would allow let1 the salvage of
the present bridge, which is!
worth $20,000.
A logging crew could be sent!
out this Pall to cut piling and!
the same could be hauled out ;
over the ice ik xt winter.
Memtirnen competent Engi
neer coul < be testing the grav
els, so that the error of trying
to drive tlr ough hard pan or
fals-r l ed lank or whatever it
might he. woullnotbe lepeated.
Bv the Fall of 19:?U the con
struetion of t’v-» peiunan *nt
biidge could be be.aia.
All t ns will be f visible if t' e
ore>ent structure is saved and
another appropriation secured,
Tim f llo.wing would be a fair
os inn to of. the expense to be
i ii< u n ed:
si.000 to save ])reserit structure,
82.5P0 to out and haul piling,
81.00' tor En iri nee rs tests, a to
tal of $0,0000 which would leave
a balance of the appropriation on
hand of $15,500 which with the
8*2- ’,()()()of lumber saved gives us
$35.500for a starter on thaj per-j
main rt bijhge, now another ap
prooriatoii of 815,000 would)
bring the fund up to 850.0 0 the j
amount required to build a!
bridge over the Nizin i and build
it right.
Then we would have a bridge
which would ever be a source
of comfort and benefit to the res
idents on either side.
The many investors who are'
only too ready to listen to min
eral projects where there are
trails and bridges would begin
to come in and develop the rich
minerals which he over that for
bidding expanse of the now un
bridged Nizina.
A hundred small accounts make a bank stronger than a doren
large ones aggregating the same total of deposits. That is why
wc are constantly seeking new customers while retaining our
old ones.
We want as wide a circle of friends and customers cs possible
We will appreciate your account.
