CITIZENS ATTEND MEETING
TO DISCUSS INCORPORATION
Examiner of Accounts R. H.
Barndollar, who arrived from An
chorage several days ago to take
up the question of incorporation
with the citizens of Nenana, ad
dressed a largely-attended meeting
at the Coliseum theater last night.
Mr. Barndollar was introduced by
Mayor Joe O’Connor, and explained
that the contract between the Alas
kan Engineering Commission and the
purchasers of lots in Nenana would
expire in August, at ifrhich time the
Commission would cease to exercise
authority over the town. And he
suggested that the citizens take
under consideration the question of;
incorporation as the only proper
way to conduct negotiations with
the Commission and the Government!
in such dealings as may be necessary
after the termination of relations
now existing.
Mr. Barndollar explained that the
people of Anchorage had voted to
incorporate and appeared to be *ell
satisfied with the w'ay the city ad
ministration is working there.
In answer to questions. Mr. Barn
dollar said that he could not speak
for the Commission relative to the
continuance of services now provided
the town, but he expressed the be
lief that a serious effort would be
made to keep the power and water
services in operation. He stated al
so that, in the event of incorpora
tion, the Commission would not at
tempt to hold the town liable for
any of the expense incurred in con
nection with the management and
maintenance of the town up to the
time of withdrawal from manage
ment. Money advanced by the Com
mission will be obtained through
the disposal of unsold lots, if at all,
so that the town, in case of incor
poration, can start off without ob
ligations of any sort, and with the
benefit of such improvements as
have already been made.
Mr. Barndollar thought it might
be possible to secure from the Gov- j
ernment title to such property as
might be desired by the town, but
pointed out that an application
coming from a regularly organized
municipality would have more in- ^
fluence than a request from an un- j
organized community.
It was suggested that the repre- j
sentative of the Commission en- j
deavor to secure a definite proposi- |
tion, in writing, setting forth what
are the plans of the Commission in
the event of incorporation or failure
to incorporate, particularly with re
gard to the operation of public utili
ties, and it is hoped that some such
action will be taken. Mr. Barndollar
gave the assurance that, in any
event, ample notice would be given
the town before any changes are
made.
Mr. Barndollar was given a re
spectful and attentive hearing and,
at the close of the meeting those
present, at the suggestion of Com
missioner R S. McDonald, gave the
speaker a rising vote of thanks for
very pleasing manner in which he
had conducted the discussion, and
for his patience in making answer
to the many questions put to him.
During his brief stay here Mr.
Barndollar took up the matter of
unpaid flu bills, and arranged with
the flu committee for the settlement
in full of all accounts outstanding.
The matter has been hanging fire
for many months. The money was
obtained by the Commission some
time ago, but no steps were taken
to apply the money on the town
bilh until the matter was put
up to the examiner upon his arrival
here. No difficulty whatever was ex
perienced is arranging a settlement
Mr. Barndollar left town this
morning on his way back te his
Anchorage headquarters.

Oh, say, can you see. by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,,thro' the perilous fight.
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gare proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
CHORUS:
Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
