Announcement was made by En
gineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne,
at the meeting of the commercial
club on Friday night, that tnere
would be no curtailment in the Ne
nana telephone service as previous
ly contemplated by the commission
as a means of cutting down oper
ating expenses.
Members of the club made vig
orous protest against the proposed
cut, showing Mr. Browne that a
discontinuance of the night service
would expose the town and the pub
lic to grave danger and serious in
convenience. It was pointed ou1
that a phone service in Alaskar
towns offers protection against fire
that is obtainable in no other way
in the absence of a regular tire
alarm system, and that the discon
tinuance of the night service prob
ably would result in the cancella
tion of much of the insurance now
carried.
After the question had been dis
cussed at considerable length, Mr
Browne announced that the cu
would not be made, and informee
the members that their protest an<
arguments had been responsible fo:
the decision to continue the servici
as it is at present.
The curtailment plan included th*
reduction of the office force to tw<
operators and the closing of thi
board between the hours of elevei
and seven o’clock. Such a curtail
ment would save the Governmen
about $100 a month.
Mr. Browne explained the tele
phone service is not now on a pay
ing basis, and that it is the polic;
of the commission to eliminate sucl
losses from side issues wherever pos
sible.

BLAKEY TEAM WINS
IN EXCITING GAME
The Biakey basketball team car
l riea off the honors in yesterday’s
1 game, which took place during the
afternoon at Union hall before a
1 small but enthusiastic crowd of fans.
The score was somewhat uneven, but
' the play was fast throughout and
’ very interesting for the spectators.
■ The Biakey team finished with a
1 score of 40, and the Taylor ag
• gregation with 27.
The lineups were practically the
same as a week ago, but a change
was necessitated in one of the teams
by an accident to Roy Hershberger,
who had the misfortune to break
his nose during a scrimmage. Dick
Morris finished for him.

EOR LOCAL USE
According to an announcement
made by Dr. J. R. Bowen at the
meeting of the Nenana Commercial
club on Friday evening, it is the
intention of the Healy River Coal
corporation, with which he has be
come identified, to erect large coal
bunkers in Xenana, provided satis
factory arrangements can be made
with the Alaskan Engineering com
mission. And that such arrange
ments can be made was indicated
by Engineer in Charge Fred’k D.
Browne, who stated, when the mat
ter was brought up, that bunker
room on the railroad reserve prob
ably could be used by the company
for the purpose desired, at a place
convenient to the elevated track
and to the waterfront.
It was the company's plan to
erect bunkers on the waterfront near
the foot of A street, so as to facili
tate the delivery of coal to local
consumers, but Mr. Browne ex
pressed the belief that there would
be objection to the bunkers at such
a location, directly in front of the
town, and suggested that an equally
convenient location could be found
on the reserve.
Dr. Bowen explained that the use
of bunkers would mean a considera
ble saving to coal users by making
it possible to load delivery wagon?
by gravity instead of shoveling as
is done at present.
The company expects to sell a
considerable quantity of coal during
the coming summer to Fairbanks
and other points along the river, and
the bunkers will make it possible t<
load the fuel on barges without
costly handling.
Asessor Carl Schmidt, of the Xe
nana school board, announces that
the payment of school taxts ha:
been very gratifying to the boari
this year, only about $275 of th-.
amount due the town having re
mained unpaid on the date of de
linquency, January 15.
Mr. Schmidt expresses the beliel
that most of the money still due
will be paid before the first ol
February.

REPUBLICANS Of
NENANA10 MEET
TOMORROW NICHE
The Republicans of Nenana and i
the Nenana district are invited to
attend a meeting which is to be j
held in the Union building tomorrow
night for the purpose of organizing '
a Republican club, as a preliminary I
to active Republican participation in
the forthcoming political campaigns,
primary and general elections.
Nenana never has had a Repub
lican club, but there are many Re
publicans here and it is believed
that all of them will welcome the j
opportunity to become part of an
organization which doubtless will
figure prominently in future politi
cal affairs in Interior Alaska.
The object of the meeting to
morrow night will be to form a
temporary organization and to ar
range for a permanent organization
later, as soon as a constitution and
by-laws can be prepared.
The meeting will start at 9:30.
i
, According to a statement made
by City Treasurer George Hutchin
tson, the financial condition of Fair
i banks is better now than it has been
i at any time during the past ten
'years. There is at present in the
! treasury, he says, the sum of $13,
.000. with outstanding obligaiions ag
gregating approximately $2,000,
leaving a net balance on hand of
$11,000.
In addition to the money now on
‘hand, Hutchinson reports, taxes still
due the city and which will be paid
in within a short time will add $3,
; 000 or $4,000.
The showing is considered re
markable, in view of the large de
crease in revenues incident to the
i
closing of saloons, and is due to the
very careful management of town
affairs by the council.
