MOVE LOCAL FORCE
In accordance with plans decided
on some time ago. several depart
ments of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, now housed in the main
office building in Nenana. will be
moved to Healy within the next
week or ten days. The transfer of
office activities to the temporary
construction camp at the end of
steel will include the disbursing
office, timekeeping department, the
drafting department and the voucher
department, and will affect seven
employes of the commission, in
cluding Miss Nellie K. Wilson,
private secretary to the engineer in
charge. "
After the transfer has been made,
Roadmnster W. L. Packer and Mas
ter of Transportation W. B. Rae
burn will be the only officials left
in the main office building and it is
understood to be their intention to
move into new quarters in the
general stores building, in order
that the office building may be
closed until further need for it
arises.
The transfer of the offices to
the construction camp at Healy is
said to have been ordered in the
interest of economy, but the belief
is general in town that neither
economy nor efficiency will result.
The transferred departments will
be housed in the building erected
at Healy for the use of Resident
Engineer Mills, but in order to make
room for all the office equipment
needed, it will be necessary to
erect an addition to the building.
It is also planned to put in a steam
heating plant to reduce the fire
hazard, which is very great at
Healy because of the severe winds
which blow there almost all the
time.
Draftsman and Mrs. M. C. Ed
munds, it is understood, will go
into residence in the cottage erected
for the engineer in charge; Miss
Adeline Ferretri, of the disbursing
office, Mrs. Helen Kellum, of the
timekeeping office, Miss Jessie John
ston, acting voucher clerk, and Miss
Wilson, will find quarters in the
building erected for Chairman £.
Mears and later used as headquart
ers by Mail Superintendent Dan
Leech; and District Timekeeper R.
B. Eames and Special Disbursing
Officer Frank Doner will find bunk
room in one of the numerous other
buildings, now more or less de
serted in consequence of the recent
curtailment in railroad forces out
the line.
When news of the contemplated
move first reached Nenana, a meet
ing of citizens of Nenana was held
at the fire hall and a telegram of
protest forwarded to Secretary of
the Interior Payne. The appeal had
the effect of delaying the transfer,
but Chairman Mears is now in
Washington and it is presumed that
he has convinced the secretary of

the wisdom of carrying out the plan i

There was also some talk at
that time of rao%-ing the store office
force to Healy, but that plan, if
there was such a plan, appears to
have been abandoned. At any rate,
General Storekeeper Donaldson in
' formed a representative of The
j News last night that his department
! would not be disturbed.
