districts not covered by other col
lectors.
Part of the freight carried by the
Carl White consisted of a Ford au
tomobile consigned to J. A. Gustaf
son, the Brooks merchant, whose ex
panding business requires additional

Petitions asking U. S. Commis
sioner R. S. McDonald to order a
special election for the considera
tion of the question of choosing a
board of trustees to direct the af
fairs of the town of Nenana in
conjunction with the Land and In
dustrial Department of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, as provid
ed for in a law enacted during the
last session of the territorial legis
lature, were formally approved at
a meeting of the advisory board,
held at the townsite office last night,
and the secretary of the board was
instructed to present the signed pe
titions to the commissioner with the
request that action be taken imme
diately.
The petitions, authorized at a pre
vious meeting of the advisory board,
were circulated among the property
owners, and when turned in at the
meeting last night, contained the
names of 42 persons. The number
required by law is 15.
The next step, under the law, is
for the commissioner to set a date
for a public hearing on the question
of holding an election, at which
jtime arguments may be advanced
:for and against the proposition.
| Then, if in the opinion of the com
j mission er such action seems war
ranted, a formal order will be is
Jsued for a public election, when
| the voters will be given another op
portunity to say whether or not
they want a board of trustees to as
jsist in the management of the town
I The election also will be for th«
i purpose of choosing a board of trus
i tees.
The board of trustees provided
jfor in the new law will be an im
I proven; .r.t over the advistory board
| elected a year ago, inasmuch as the
i members will be vested with real
! although limited, authority. The>
| will be able to do things, whereas
! the members of the advisory boarc
lean act in an advisory capacity only
jThe terms of the advistory board
j members expire on August 13.
| The trustees, of whom there wi!
• be seven, in case it is decided tc
j elect such a board, will serve with
| out salary, as do the members o1
.the advistory board, and their powei
| to assess is limited to one-half oi
lone per cent.
The argument is advanced tha:
the election of a board of trustee:
; is advisable because of the fact tha'
i it will give the town a chance U
| get used to self-government befor<
| actually taking over the manage
|ment from the Land and Industria
department at the end of the five
jyear period. The advisory boarc
| now serving has been a help to thi
itown and a help to the townsitc
management, and a board of trus
j tees, it is pointed out, will provi
leven more beneficial to the town b;
I reason of the greater authority thi
! members will have.
