MEETING VOTES
TO OUST MEADS
AS INCOMPETENT
Long-smouldering resentment a
1 gainst the Alaskan Engineering com
[mission, because of an apparent
! lack of interest in the development
of Interior Alaska, was whipped in
to flame yesterday by the receipt
of information from Anchorage in
dicating a further curtailment of
construction activities in this divi
sion. The public feeling found ex
pression at a mass meeting held at
! the firehall last evening at which it
was decided to take immediate steps
to bring about a more friendly and
| interested attitude toward Alaska
on the part of those in charge of
the Government enterprise, or upon
the part of those who will succeed
them shortly if the plans of the
j meeting are crowned with success.
It was the sense of the meeting,
expressed in no uncertain manner,
that both Chairman Mears and En
Igineer in Charge Browne be re
1 moved from their positions without
j delay and that men be appointed
| to succeed them who will take a
real interest in Alaska. The re
quest was in the form of a motion
i which carried enthusiastically and
| the grounds for removal are alleged
j incompetence, together with disre
: gard for the purpose for which the
j rairoad was originally intended to
! be constructed.
Commissioner McDonald, who was
delegated by the N'enana Commercial
club some time ago to meet Secre
tary Payne on the occasion of that
official's visit to the Alaska coast,
but who was unable to do so be
cause of the secretary's unexpected
early departure from Anchorage,
read to the meeting a lengthy letter
which he had sent to the secretary,
explaining the purpose of the mission
on which he had been sent from Xe
nana. The letter presents fully the
situation in Interior Alaska and
should have proved very helpful in
informing the secretary regarding
local conditions.
After numerous complaints had
been aired, and conditions dis
cussed at considerable length, it
was formally decided to name a
committee to communicate with Sec
retary Payne for the purpose of
securing relief which is deemed of
vital importance to the future of
Ineterior Alaska and to the success
of the Government railroad after it
is completed. The committee named
is composed of Commissioner R. S.
McDonald, Robert Joseph Diven,
Martin N'ash, Dr. J. R. Bowen, Joe
Fischer and Herman Anderson. This
committee met this afternoon but
was not ready, at the time of going
to press, to give out anything for
publication.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the meeting was arranged hurriedly
and without general notice to the
public, there were about forty in
attendance, representative of the
town and the district in general.
Mayor Joe O’Connor acted as chair
man.
The direct cause of the meeting
was the receipt of instructions from
Anchorage to close the local ac
counting office and to transfer all
of the work to the headquarters of
the Southern division. The instruc
tions were received by Chief Ac
countant McIntosh, his orders being
to close his department on Satur
day night.
There is also some talk of trans
ferring the accounting force of the
stores department to Healy, but
General Storekeeper R. S. Donald
son informed The News last night
that definite action had not been
taken up to that time and probably
no change would be made, if at all,
until the return of Engineer in
Charge Browns who is scheduled
to leave Anchorage on Saturday.
There has been no curtailment in
store forces and none, is contemplat
ed immediately.
