CHRISTENSEN GIVES
VIEWS ON TOWNSITE
VWVV II 1 -» II ft ftII .....
Nenana, July 11, 191?
I have been looking over the wor
accomplished on Nenana townsite
and find that the improvement
which were auhorized last year hav
; been practically all completed
Nearly all of the street grading ha
: been done and the sidewalks con
structe,d. There still remains th
connecting up of the water syster
with the pumping plant of the Com
mission. This is now being give]
attention by Mr. Browne. The sewe
system is practically complete am
as soon as the river lowers the purm
will be installed so that the sewe
; can be used at all stages of watei
I find that the work which Mr. Ryu
has supervised has been efficient!
and economically done and that al
matters relating to the townsite ar
receiving his conscientious attention
It is not expected that any additions
improvements will be made, excep
such as may be required for flooi
, prevention or in cases where lo
owners are particularly urgent fo
i some local improvement. In th<
future the only expenditures tha
! will be incurred on the townsite wil
i be the maintenance and operation
i The streets and sidewalks must o
j course be kept in condition and thi
l fire protection and sanitary regu
i lations rigidly enforced.
Si
I have been shown a petition
signed by a number of people, somi
of whom are property owners, an<
some who are not, making certaii
complaints. I understand that thi
petition was submitted to Mr. Browm
but that no specific complaint couh
be presented; that Mr. Browne askei
them to show specific instance
where the cost of work had beei
excessive or where the townsite man
agement had been inefficient, bu
the committee was unable to cifc
such instances. Apparently this pe
tition and these complaints originate!
from people who had personal griev
ances, and I find that it does no
by any means represent the a' ii
tude of the people of the t.'Wn a
a whole. I trust that the pcopl
who made these complaints will sei
these matters from an impartia
standpoint and that they will forge
their personal grievances.
Before coming to Nenana Mr
Ryus had had considerable experi
ence in municipal work, and thi
people of Nenana are to be con
gratulated on having him as thei:
townsite manager during the perioi
of construction. He has been con
scientious in his work, and the worl
shows that it has been well done
It is not surprising that there shouk
be complaints against taxes. Tha’
is so in every town- But the peoph
should understand that improve
ments which they request must b<
paid for. On the recommendatior
of the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion fifty per cent of the funds re
ceived from the sale of lots was de
voted to public improvements, anc
out of this fund there has been pre
sented to the people of Nenana i
very fine school building at a cost
of approximately thirteen thousanc
dollars. There is available from this
fund in the neighborhood of thirtj
thousand dollars, which with the
thirteen thousand deducted for the
school building leave about seven
teen thousand to pay for genera;
improvements, such as flood preven
tion and other matters which bene
fit the town as a whole.
I find the same complaint at Ne
nana that is found in all towns wit!
reference to business conditions
Many of the people are going to the
States, being attracted there by fav
orable labor conditions, and this
naturaly affects the prosperity oi
Alaskan communities. Nenana shouk
consider itself fortunate, because il
has the largest payroll of any towr
in the Interior and is therefore ir
a much better position than towns
where there is no such payroll. W<
must not forget that the nation is
at war and that the resources anc
energy of the nation are devotee
to winning the war, and people
should not complain if they are noi
making money. They should con
sider themselves fortunate if the;
■ Jget through the war alive Many
c; are sacrificing their business and
, their lives, and those of us who stay
s at home should not complain, but
; should rather put our shoulders to
. the wheel and do what we can to
3 assist those who are bearing the
- greater burden.
? i Mr. Ryus is leaving in the near
I j future to join the army. He has
-! had an application pending for a
II position in the army for over a year,
r: but it has not been until recently
1 that any encouragement could be
) given him. As I have already stated,
r Mr. Ryus’ services have been en
. tirely satisfactory, and I will regret,
s very much the loss of those services.
r We appreciate, however, the motive
I which acuates him in his desire
■ to be at the front to do his bit for
. j the nation, and it should be dis
II tinctly understood that Mr. Ryus’
11 departure at this time has absolutely
1: no connection with any complaint
t j that may have been made by the
r j people concerning his management
>! of Nenana townsite.
t Mr. W. H. Grigg will be appointed
1 townsite manager, succeeding Mr.
• Ryus, and I trust that the people f
: Xenana will co-operate with him in
“ j the performance of his duties. Mr.
• | Grigg will at all times be ready and
willing to receive suggestions and
^listen to criticisms We realize that
, a public official is always subject
I to criticism, but when crticism? are
( made they should be fair and con
. structive, rather than in the nature
, of a personal grievance.
I A. CHRISTENSEN,
I Manager Land & Industrial Dept.
Captain in Army Medical Reserve
I Corps Is Chosen By Dr. Smith
Fo- Nenana.
On tho steamer Alaska, which
pulled into port this morning, Dr.
F. de la Vergne arrived from Seatt'e
to take over the duties of assistant
surgeon in the Alaskan Engineering
I commission hospital, succeeded Dr.
David More, who was appointed chief
surgeon in charge immediately after
the departure of Dr. M. E. Smith,
i Dr. de la Vergne is an officer in
the Army Medical Reserve Corps,
with the rank as captain, and is, at
the present time, not on active ser
vice. He is, however, subject to
call at any time.
Prior to coming North to accept
his present position, which was of
fered to him by Dr. M E. Smith
some time ago at Seattle, Dr. de 1:
Vergne was on active service on the
army transports and made five round
trips across the Atlantic, and has
been witness to a submarine attack
on a convoy off the English coast.
i While awaiting the return of his
ship to the United States, Dr. de la
Vergne happened to be in" London
on the 7th of May last, when that j
city was raided at night by a squad
ron of German air craft It is
said to have been the first raid ever
i undertaken by the enemy under
cover of night and the people were
quite ignorant of their coming till
the deadly bombs began to drop.
As soon as it was known that a
raid was on, the people took to cover
in the raid shelters* which are prin
cipally the subways of the town,
and other specially built shelters.
On emerging from his shelter, Dr.
de la Vergne met another medical
man whom he knew and they went
together to where some damage had
been done and attended to the in
jured.
j The doctor is very favorably im
pressed with the town of Nenana
. and thinks he is going to like it.
' Although he is no sourdough in the
strict acceptance of the term, he
has seen the ice and snow come

Dr. delaVergne takes up his
duties immediately as assistant sur
geon under Dr. David More,
j Regarding the article appearing
in the Fairbanks Citizen, in its issue
of the 9th, Dr. de la Vergne says that
there is absolutely no foundation
for the statements made therin. The
doctor’s duties in the transport ser
vice were rendered on supply ships,
which carried no troops.
