RIVER PROTECTION PLANS
Continued from Page 1.
townsite trustee to forward
his check covering the forest
townsite refund to the Terri
torial Road Commissioners, so
that the funds would be avail
able for use with the remain
der of the legislative appropri
ation.
S. P. Fitzgerald thought it
might be a good plan to carry
the river through an adjacent
creek channel, instead of thru
the slough, the former chan
nel being somewhat lower. It
was decided after some discuss
ion that the Sommers plan was
the best. Mr. Fitzgerald also
proposed a vote of thanks to
Grover C. Winn, First division
Representative, the Alaska
Legislature, and such others as
helped to secure the flood re
lief appropriation.
William Gray asked if a ditch
should not be dug into the
slough from the river to assist
in turning the stream. Mr. Som
mers expressed the view that
it would not be necessary, as
the water could be turned by
dragging out the debris and
rip-rapping across the mail;
stream.
John Ilovland warmly com
mended the plans offered by
Mr. Sommers. Arthur Moa also
spoke in the same vein.
A motion was then passed to
the effect that the Chamber of
Commerce endorse and back
the Sommers plan to the full
est extent possible. President
Richenback then made a little
talk on past troubles of the
community in connection with
the river and thanked Mr. Som
mers for coming to its rescue
with a practical plan for pre
venting future difficulties from
the same source. In replying
to the chairman Mr. Sommers
stated that U. S. Commission
er A. W. Fox had played an
important part in securing the
legislative appropriation while
in Juneau. Thereupon the chair
tendered Mr. Fox the thanks
of the Chamber. Judge Fox
in reply said he was glad to
lend such assistance as he
could. He knew but little about
the river, he said, but wanted
it to keep its place and not
overrun Hyder.
Following his arrival Sunday,
Mr. Sommers spent a large
part of his time investigating
conditions along the river in
company with Mr. Evans. He
left for Juneau Wednesday to
make final arrangements for
carrying on the river project
and plans to again visit the
camp later in the season.
Work on the river will start
as soon as possible and will be
carried forward as fast as con
ditions permit. Herman Nich
ols, whose earlier experiences
in connection with local at
temps to curb the river make
his services of especial value,
has been engaged by Mr. Ev
ans to act as overseer of the
project.
