URGED 10 BUILD
NEW P0S10FFICE
Proposal to Build New Pottoffice
I* Under Consideration by
Commission Officials.
I Rumors current around town some
I .
j time ago regarding the erecting by
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion of a suitable building to serve
| the purpose of a postoffice, were re
J cently revived and on inquiry at
j the proper quarters it was learned
| that while the advisability of such
a course was discussed, no arrange
ments of a definite nature were
made.
Mr. F. D. Browne, engineer in
charge of the Fairbanks division.
I stated that the matter of putting
i up such a building was taken up
| with him by the postoffice depart
ment through their inspector and
chief clerk, and tentative plans were
discussed recently
The Commission officials are not
very enthusiastic about the building
of a postoffice, as such a building
erected at Anchorage along similiar
lines as suggested by the postoffice
people was not altogether a success.
The undertaking would also, mean
the diversion of funds appropriated
for railroad purposes, for which
special arrangements would have to
be made.

ELECTION DATE
FOR NEW BOARD
HAS BEEN FIXED
_ |
Elsewhere in this issue there is |
a notice calling for the election of ,
an Advisory Board. As its name in- |
dicates, this board will serve in an!
advisory capacity to Mr. W. H. '
Grigg, the townsite manager; and
through him to the Alaskan Engin
eering commission, regarding town
site matters.
While the board elected will have j
no positive authority, matters have |
been so arranged that its recommend- \
ations should have all the weight of
authority.
A Board of Elections was ar
ranged for by the Nenana Com
mercial Club and the Nenana Labor
Union, Mr. E. L. Laughlin and Mr.
J. A. Brevig being elected to rep
resent the Nenana Labor Union, and
Mr. S. E. Parks and Mr. J. A. Slip
pern were elected to represent the
Commercial Club.
These four chose Mr. Joseph for
the fifth member!
Mr. Laughlin was elected chair
man of the board, and Mr. Joseph,
secretary.
The board then adopted the fol
lowing regulations for the holding
of the election, these being first ap
proved by the two organizations
named.
Regulation*.
The election will be held in the
townsite office.
The Advisory Board shall consist
of five members.
The five candidates receiving the

year; they shall elect their own
chairman, and such other officers
as they shall deem necessary; and
fill vacancies in their own body;
and they shall serve without pay.

shall be by petition, signed by not
less than twenty-five voters quali
fied to vote at this election.

ing their wish in regard to the crea
tion of such a Board; and it will
