IS
E EXTENSI
E
V Chairman Edes Authorize! Extensi
?
r
of Payment! Over Period of
Three Year!.
«*► , At the earnest solicitation of the
A Nenana Commercial club, Chairman
Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering
A commission, and Andrew Christen
^ . sen, manager of the Land and In
X. dustrial department, have granted
,$L the owners of property in Nenana
^ an extension of time for the pay
^ ment of sidewalk and grading work.
^ j This welcome news came to Town
$ site Manager Fred S. Ryus in a
J I telegram received from Manager
♦ I Christensen late yesterday, the wire
^ informing the mayor that favorable
action had been taken on the letter
^ forwarded by the Commercial club
under date of April 17, after a con
ference with Chairman Edes. The
payments on sidewalk and grading
work, Mr. Christensen says, may be
extended over a period of three
years, payable in three equal annual
payments.
The regulations, which the club
X sought to have modified, provide
J jthat assessments for sidewalks be
j* made in two installments within a
^ I period of one year and that the cost
>:♦
'•£ of grading be paid by property own
^ ers in one payment. The club asked
to have the payments for these and
B* I other items of townsite expense ex
i tended over a period of four years,
but three years evidently is the
limit to which the Commission will
go. That will bring all the pay
ments in at about the time the town
is turned over to the people by the
Commission.
No action was taken on the other
requests of the club, but that these
$ othere matters have not been fin
X ally disposed of by Chairman Edes
$ is indicated by the fact that Mr.
X Christensen asked for certain addi
J tional informatiort regarding Ne
nana’s water and sewer system.
These matters were presented to
Manager Christensen by the Com
mercial club in an able manner, the
letter having been published in full
& in the columns of the News at the
time the letter was forwarded to
Anchorage. And to the club should
!♦ be given full credit for lightening
the burden of property owners. The
letter was drafted by Secretary H.
The action of the club
B. Joseph.
$». received the endorsemnt of Town
si Manager Ryus and the appeal,
fc. received the strong support of Mr. '
^ Christensen
who took the matter
up with Chairman Edes.

HEALTH OFFICER
BOIL THE WATER
D*\ More Urges on A11 Nenana
Residents to Boil Water Before
Using.
. I
Dr. David More, health officer of
Nenana, wishes all the people of
Nenana to boil the water before
using, as a preventative measure
against disease, regardless of the
source from which the water is ob
I
- i
tained.
^Owing to the porous nature of the
land it is certain that all wells,
whether open or driven, will have
been contaminated by reason of the
retent floods and Dr. More insists
oja the people obeying this order.

LAND SURVEYOR ON
WAY TO NEW CAMP
>•>
Mr. Woodbury Abbey, U, S. sur
veyor, in charge of the public land
surveys in this district, returned
tp Nenana yesterday evening from a
brief business trip to Fairbanks.
Mr. Abbey made the trip to the
upper town on the Douse launch
Victory, and was considerably de
layed in reaching Fairbanks by
reason of the accident to the launch.
He returned on the Peerless and will
probably leave this evening for the
survey camp on Little Goldstream.

in a wire received this morning from
Governor Riggs to arrange to trans
fer to Fort Gibon at an early date,

the selective service regulations.
Captain Harry Twaddle, com
manding the military post at Fort

arranging tor the necessary trans
port accommodations for the men
to be sent, and all arrangements will
be made to despatch the men at an
early date.
It is understood that similar ac
tion is being taken at Fairbanks
and it is probable the the regis
trants from both Fairbanks and
Nenana will be transferred to Fort
Gibbon on the same boat.

Local Board is as follows:

Local Board Number 19,

municate with the commanding offi
cer at Ft.»Gibbo'n in relation to the
date you set so that he may arrange
to have his boats transport your
quotas. Wire this office report as

applies to these registrants who can j
be reached in time to report in per
son on that date. If you have other
registrants, at other points in Alas
ka, whose order number places them
within the current quota, instruct 1
them by wire to report to the local
board having jurisdiction of their:
personal place of residence, further
instruct them to wire their name I
and address of board, and upon re-;
ceipt of this information wire board
requesting to induct registrants at
the same date and hour fixed for in-:
duction of registrants who are re-;
quested to report in person. Then
prepare full set of induction papers
in respect of each registrant, as re
quired by section 148, and amil to i
the board of transfer. Follow this
procedure with reference to regis- i
trants in States who come within
current quota. For purpose of mak-!
ing out induction papers as provided i
for in section 148 and section 159,'
you will use serial call number 193,'
as provided by section 178%. Re- ■
port this office by wire immediately
after you finish mailing notices and
sending wires as provided herein.
[f these instructions are not clearly
understood wire for further instrue-!
Dions. Acknowledge receipt received j
aereof by wire.

LAKE IE BARGE
ij SOON 10 OPEN
| Reports received from the upper
, Yukon would indicate that a heavy
run of ice was noticed from Lake
! Lebarge last night and that it would
be a safe bet that the lake would
be open for navigation soon.
Although no definite news has
>een received by the local agent of
the American Yukon Navigation Co.
as yet, it is known that the boats
and freight for the lower Yukon
and Tanana river points have been
rot in readiness for lispatch as soon
as conditions warranted. 1
News of the actual sailing of the
>ig boats may now be momentarily
rxpected.
It doesn’t matter who started
his war, Uncle Sam will finish it.
