TOWN BOARD TO
BE ELECTED ON
SEPTEMBER 30
An election will be held in
Nenana on Thursday, Sep
tember 30, for the purpose
of selecting a new board of
town trustees. The terms of
those constituting the pres
ent board expired this month.
The date of the election
was decided at a meeting of
the board held yesterday aft
ernoon, and at a future mect
Jing the judges will be named
;and the other details arrang
ed.
It was also decided at the
;meeting held yesterday, to
arrange for a public meeting
next week, on Wednesday
night, at which time the vot
ers of the town will be in
cited to nominate candidates
for the new board. That
I plan was followed last year
jand resulted in placing two
j full tickets in the field.
The present board also
has decided to permit all citi
zens of the town proper and
those residing on the railroad
reserve to participate in the
election. Considerable con
fusion and ill feeling were
occasioned last year by the
exclusion of residents of the
reserve and the members of
the board see no reason why
|they should not vote at the ,
'coming election.
There is a possibility that
Nenana will have the oppor
tunity to incorporate within
the next few months and
new board, in that event,
will have much important
work to do, paving the way
for the transfer of authority
from the Alaskan Engineer
ling commission to the town.
|Anchorage already has been;
asked to incorporate and is
now taking action to that end
and it is the opinion of many
in Nenana that similar ac
tion will be requested here
iwithin the course of a few
'months, even before owners ■
of lots have acquired full '
title to their property.
