CITIZENS DECIDE ON PLANS j
FOR CONTINUING SERVICE
With a large and representative
number of citizens present, the
question of continuing in operation
the present efficient fire fighting or
ganization until such time as the
j town can incorporate, was discussed
! at length and disposed of in a very
satisfactory manner at the public
meeting held at Union hall last
night. The funds necessary to cover
the cost of maintaining the depart
ment will be raised by popular sub
scription, more that half of the
amount needed having been pledged
at the meeting.
j The object of the meeting was ex
- plained by Mayor Joe O'Connor, who
presided as chairman, with R. G.
Southworth acting as secretary. Thi
mayor called attention to the fact
that the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission had ceased to function as
the town’s guardian on September
1 and that, in consequence, there
remained no town organization, no
fire chief and no one to exercise
authority over municipal affairs. It
was also pointed out that the situa
tion demanded immediate action for
the reason that insurance policiies
very likely would be cancelled in
case of failure on the part of the
town to continue to provide ade-1
quate protection. It was estimated
that at least $250 monthly would
be required to keep the department
on an efficient basis pending the
disposal of the incorporation ques
tion. which will come up for a hear
ing before Judge Bunnell, in Fair
banks on September 12, at which
time it will be determined whether
or or not the question will be left
to the people to finally decide at a
public election.
Mayor O’Connor and M. J.
Cooney volunteered to solicit sub
scriptions within the territory cov
ered by A street, after which the
list will be takne in hand by J.H.
Scott, with a view to covering the
residential district thoroughly for.
as Mr. Scott pointed out, it is the
duty of everyone to contribute
something toward the maintenance
of the fire department.
Mr. Scott announced during the
meeting, on behalf of the school
board, that no taxes would be levied
this year for school purposes, and he
advanced that as an argument why
property owners should contribute
liberally to the fire department fund.
Mr. Scott also announced that, in
a conversation with C. S. Crider,
traveling auditor of the American
Express Company, he had been in
formed by that official that the ex
press company is preparing to inter
est tourists in Interior Alaska, the
plan being to bring the sight-seers
in by way of the Government rail
road and take them back to the
coast by way of the Richardson
highway. Mr. Scott called attention
to this plan merely to emphasize
the importance of keeping the town
in good order.
Mr. Donaldson, manager of the
Healy River Coal Corporation, an
nounced that the handling of the
Commision power and telephone
plants by his organization, under
the terms of the contract entered
1 into with the Commission at the
j beginning of the month of August,
had worked out very satisfactorily,
and he expressed the belief that the
present month would result in even
a better showing. The increase in
; the charge for electric current, on
: a pr with the Fairbanks rate, had
: left the company with only a small
I deficit which, it is believed, will be
1 taken care of easily by increased
; business during the present month.
Material savings were made at the
power plant in the consumption of
coal and in other ways, withont
lessening the efficient operation of
| the plant. A reorganization of forces
at the telephone exchange had re
sulted in a curtailment of operating
costs in that department also, so
that it was not found necessary to
increase rates to telephone subscrib
ers.

was stipulated that the railroad or
ganization would exercise jurisdic
tion over the town for a period of
five years, meeting the cost of fire
protection, sanitation and general
maintenance by means of assess
ments levied against real property
sold to individuals. The five year
period ended on August 31 and the
town, in consequence, is without
a manager, having the status mere
ly of an unincorporated community, i
Even the council, eleeted under the
provisions of a special dispensation, I
granted by the territorial legislature
has ceased to exist through expira
tion of the terms of the members
and failure to elect a new council.
Such a council, in any case, would
not meet the present requirements,
for the reason that it has not the
authority to legislate to meet con
ditions as the now exist.
NOTICE TO PHONE USERS
Notice is hereby given that on
and after August 15 the use of
telephones in Nenana will be re
stricted to fire and doctor calls
between the hours of midnight and
eight o'clock in the morning.
