a decision that the townsite was
not justified in paying for some
grading work that was done on
Sixth street by John Kakanson, ow
ing to the fact that the dirt was
used for filling in lots while the
st ec ts stood in need of the dirt.

TAKES ACTION TO
AID MEN IN ARMY
A telegram has been sent by the!
Fairbanks Commercial club to Dele- J
gate Wickersham, who Is now at |
Washington, D. C., requesting him j
to see that something is done, at |
once, for the relief of the Alaska!
boys who are now being discharged j
from the army.
It had been reported to the Fair
banks Commercial club that dis
charged Alaskan soldiers at Camp
Grant, Illinois, are given $160 to
serve as passage money back to j
their homes in Alaska, an amount
that is not sufficient for this pur
pose.
The delegate has been instructed j
to see the war department about
this matter at once, and endeavor j
to have special arrangments made j
for the passage of these men. The
small amount allowed by the war
department in lieu of passage it is'
thought is due to the ignorance of'
conditions on the part of the army
heads and that the delegate can
set them right on this point.
