'COUNCIL TALKS HOSPITAL
WILL SUBMIT PLANS SOON
The question of continuing the op
eration of the Nenana hospital af
: ter the withdrawal of the Alaska
Engineering Commission from the
management of the institution, was
discussed at the regular meeting of
the city council on Tuesday night.
Dr. J. H. Romig was present by in
vitation, to confef with the aider
men. and offered as a solution of the
problem, that the Sisiters having
charge of the Fairbanks hospital
I be asked to operate both institutions,
j pointing out that organization would
permit of more economical operation
He thought such a plan might be
carried out in view of the fact that
the Xenana hospital is a splendid
institution, is very centrally located
and can be operated at low' cost,
compared with other institutions, es
pecially with the aid promised by
the council in the way of free util
ities.
It has been intimated that the Al
,askan Engineering Commission will
ihave no further use for the hospital
' after actual construction of the rail
! road is completed and that the town
! can have the buiding and equipt
ment at a moderate rental. The
| council is determined to keep the
j hospital open, if possible, and if the
t Sisters will not accept the proposi
1 tion made to them other steps will
\ be taken to maintain the institution,
j It is hoped however, that the inaug
I uration of a regular steamer ser
j vice between Xenana and poirts on
| the Yukon river,%in connection with
I the Alaska Railroad, will convince
,the Alaskan Engineering Commission
of the need of the continued opera
tion of the hospital under the pre
sent management.
The treasurer, clerk and superin
tendent of public utilities reported
I a combined total of nearly $8,000
| in the various city funds, with am
ple in the general and salary funds
: to carry the cityover until the end
1 of the fiscal year, and a substan
tial surplus in the utilities fund to
. meet the requirements of the lean
| months during the summer.
The mayor called the attention of
the council to the fact that noth
: ing had been done by the city to
. ward assisting to liquidate the ob
■j ligations incurred by Parke L.
. Stump as the result of injuries re
j ceived at the Bowen building fire,
i It was pointed out that Mr. Stump
had paid one hospital bill and that
another, of more than $200. was due
’After some discussion, it was voted
| to apply $100 of the public utili
ties money on the bill.
The mayor reported that he had
interviewed Assessor Charles D.
j Leckie, and had been assured by him
] that the work of preparing the tax
| roll will be started today and com
! pleted within the time fixed by the
! council.
I The matter of the coming session
J of the grand igloo. Pioneers of Al
aska, was called to the attention of
! the council and it is propable that
! steps will be taken at a later meet
ing to assist the local igloo in pro
viding entertainment for the vi
j sitors.
I A recording office has been creat
• ed at Wasilla for the Willow creek
j section, the lower Susitna and the
j upper Cook inlet district. Frank
! B. Cannon, old-timer and former
: member of the territorial legisla
ture, has been appointed commis
sioner, with headquarters at Wasilla
WORK MAY SUCCEED FALL

A possible switch in :he prensent
lineup in the President cabinet in
filling the vacancy to be left in it

the effect that the Interior port
folio may be offered to Dr. Hubert

I As a successor to Dr. Work the
' President is said to have under con
j sideration Senator Harry S. New,
| whose term expires on March 4. He
j was mentioned as a possible sueces
| sor to AVill Hayes at the time the
j latter announced his Intention of re
j signing from the Cabinet to go with
! the motion picture producers’ or
. ganization with which he is now af
filiated.
