Effort Will Be Made By Commercial
Club to Secure Better Fire
Protection.
Acting on the suggestion of Fred
Douse, who pointed out the need of
more efficient fire protection, the
Commercial club has delegated a
committee to wait on the members
of the advisory board with a view
to increasing the usefulness of the
town’s fire fighting apparatus and
inaugurating needed reforms.
The question was discussed at the
regular weekly meeting of the club
last night, and it appeared to be
the concensus of opinion that some
thing should be done immediately
to insure greater security against
loss by fire. Frederick D Browne
was present at the meeting and
assured the members that he would
welcome any suggestions that would
assist him to improve the efficiency
of the town and Commission f'|?
departments. He said that he was
ready to meet with the members
of the advisory board at any time,
and expressed the hope that a meet
ing of the board and the members
of the committee would bring about
the solution of some of the prob
lems now confronting the town in
the matter of fire protection.
The question of electric current
charges was also discussed during
the meeting, following the sugges
tion of Andy Hoev that the club
make an effort to secure a re
duction in tolls for the larger con
| sumers of the town. The chair ap
pointed Messrs Hoev, Gilcher and
Laughlin to confer with Mr. Browne
; regarding the rates, and at Mr.
Browne’s suggestion the committee
j men will meet with him on Monday
afternoon.
In order that the club might have
on hand at all times copies of geo
logical reports covering the various
districts of Interior Alaska, the sec
retary was instructed to write to
' Delegate Sulzer, requesting that the
| club be placed on the regular mail
' ing list for the reports as they are
1 issued, and that a supply of back
. numbers as well be forwarded.
These reports, when they are re
! ceived, will be available to the
, prospectors, mining men and others
i interested in the mineral resources
: of Interior Alaska,
j Chairman M. J. Cooney, of the
i permanent road committee of the
] club, reported that the members had
| commenced the gathering of data for
, future presentation to the club,
I relative to the wagon road needs
.of the various adjacent districts, and
1 the possibilities of development un
der more favorable transportation
1 conditions.
W. A. Ryan informed the club
| that Congress some time ago appro
! priated the sum of $35,000,000 for
j the construction of wagon roads
j throughout the United States, and
| he suggested that the club make in
! quiries to ascertain if a portion of
I the money can be secured for roads
! >n Alaska. He said he was not sure
of the area which Congress in
tended the appropriations to cover,
: but recalled that one provision re
1 qured that a state or district re
| ceiving funds supply an equal
amonut.
Representative-elect Geo. W. Pen
i nington assured the members that
he would look into the matter upon
; his arrival at Juneau and, if he
| found that any of the money could
. be expended in Alaska, he would
| endeavor to secure some of it for
i Nenana district and a like amount
! from the territorial treasury. J. C.
! VanOrsdel strongly endorsed the
| road movement started by the club
1 and urged that the campaign be
j waged to the limit until relief is
secured for those districts adjacent

being retarded seriously by lack ofi
roads.
Chairman McDonald read a letter
received during the week from the
Fairbanks Commercial club in .eply
to one sent by the local organization
asking co-operation in the power
plant movement. It was stated that
Fairbanks stood solidly for the pro- (
ject, and that the club had turned j
the matter over to the Fairbanks
Miners' organization, which is now
engaged in formulating a proposal
to submit to the authorities at Wash-1
ington. A committee consisting of
a number of well known oldtimers
has been appointed to work up the
details and it is expected that the
plan will be ready for forwarding
within a few days. The Fairbanks
club suggests that the local club get
behind the mining men when they
are ready to launch their offensive.
The chair also read a letter from
Secretary H. B. Joseph, who is now
at the quarantine station enroute
to Xenana from Fairbanks. Mr.
Joseph expresses the belief that the
Fairbanksans are maintaining an
effective quarantine against inbound ,
travel by way of the Valdez trail,
and suggests that N'enana now can
safely lower the bars which have
interrupted travel between the two
towns since the establishment of the
local quarantine. Mr. Joseph also
stated that he had met with the
members of the executive board of
the Fairbanks organization and had
found them ready to co-operate
with X'enana in the upbuilding of
Interior Alaska.
A telegram addressed to the Com
mercial club, was received from Wil
liam Papadopulous on Christmas day,
in which the sender, now stationed
at Fort Gibbon, in the servi'ce of
Uncle Sam. extended greetings to
his fellow members.
Mr. McDonald informed the club
that he had held a telephone con
versation with Mr. Davis, in charge
of the Fairbanks office of the Bu
reau of Mines, in which that official
had expressed himself as being
heartily in favor of the govern
ment power plant project and ready
to assist in every way possible to
have such a plant installed at the
coal fields to the south of Nenana.
He also made it known that the
Fairbanks assay office is now pre
pared to make quantitive tests of
ore for a nominal charge
Upon suggestion of Mr. Van
Orsdel, the name of Mr. Davis was
