Rep. Bob Blodgett Has
Brief Stopover in Nome
Rep. Bob Blodgett passed thru
Nome enroute to his home in
Teller, to start summer operations
for his firm, the Teller Com
mercial Co.
Mr. Blodgett stated in an inter
view with the Nugget that he
knows this part of Alaska is 50
years behind the rest of the state
and has worked hardest to get as
much public works assistance, es
pecially on roads and airports, as
this is a basic need. He showed
that Alaska started to develop af
ter federal money went in to
build the Highway to Alaska and
the roads in other parts of the
state and there is no reason why
delegates from other parts of Al
aska should resent northwestern
Alaska in getting this same oppor
tunity especially when any devel
opment in this area, helps all of
of the state.
Blodgett is concentrating his ef
forts this summer in pioneering
and experimenting in several ways
to create industry and interesting
results are expected, as his plans
develop.
