SECRETARY FALL ASSURES
ANCHORAGE ALL IS WELL
Replying to a lengthy message
which was sent to Washington by
the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce, protesting against the sug- j
gested removal of Col. Mears, as
head of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, Secretary of the In- J
terior Fall recently sent the follow- J
ing telegram to the coast organiza- '
tion:
Washington, D. C., Mar. 1*51
Chamber of Commerce,
Anchorage.
Press notices any change man- j
agement Alaska railroad entirely un- j
authorized at present time. Have!
heard nothing concerning matter ex
cept from your telegram. Have not
seen name any applicant mentioned
and no application filed with me. No
cause for excitement whatsoever.
Policy of this administration will be
for a business administration of all
Alaskan affairs and proper develop
ment Alaskan resources in interest
of Alaska and country generally
and neither politics nor personalities
will be allowed to interfere with this
program.
ALBERT B. FALL
The telegram sent by the An
chorage chamber to the secretary,
was as follows:
We read with alarm the press
notjfes of a possible change in man
agement of the Alaska railroad.
Trust this is only rumor and that
no move of this nature will actually
occur with its disastrous results for
Alaska. The Alaska railroad project
has been a business proposition
from beginning and handled by
business men without the appear
ance of political influence. Edes, the
first chief engineer, was a Western
man. Mears, the present chief en
gineer, has worked for railroads
ever since finishing his schooling.
Emphasis is being placed on the fact
that he represents the army. This >s
not the case. He was appointed at
the inception of this work because
of his ability as a railroad execu
tive. On the Panama canal, where
he had wide experience for years
in railroad construction and oper
ation, he reported to Mr. John F.
Stevens, a civilian, and to Ralph
Budd, a civilian, now president of
the Great Northern. Even while
serving in France, as head of Amer
ican raihvaj-s, Mears reported to
officers who had been appointed from
civilian life because of their rail
road experience, namely Atterbury
and Slade. Mears is a member of
American Society of Civil Engineers
and has been for 12 years.
This project is within about 11
months of completion. To disrupt the
work now, just as the last active
construction season opens by re
placing the head of the project and
effecting consequent reorganization,
would be most unfortunate and ex
pensive. The work for completion
of the project is fully outlined on
a business basis. A new man might
introduce his individual ideas into:
the project, with resultant changes
which would retard the completion
of the road for many months with
consequent delay to development of
the Interior.
The applicant, mentioned in press
dispatches, l(meaning John E. Bal
laine, of Seward) would be a most!
unfortunate choice. Since inception !
of this project he has constantly j
harrassed its builders at every for- j
ward step. He has endeavored,
where possible, to retard the prog
ress of construction of the Govern
ment railroad. He is a local partisan
and would not hesitate to move
offices, shops, wharves, etc., to a
place where he had property (mean
ing Seward) and to suit his own
selfish ends. He has been repudi
ated on more than one occasion
by his own town, as not represent
ative of the best interests of his
town rmi the territory at large. He
is probably backed by Canadian in
terests and others with large hold
ings who wish to get control of the
Government railroad project.
We trust you can see your way
clear to continue the present man
agement of the railroad construction
in power to complete this project
and permit the territory to go for
ward in its development.
