gram for the Kenai Peninsula was
stressed Saturday when the
O renter Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce paid its good will visit
to Peninsula areas.
The building of the proposed
Tumagain Arm causeway linking
Anchorage and the Peninsula was
another subject dominating talks
when the Anchorage delegation
met Peninsula Chamber repre

Kenai, Soldotna, and other towns.
Special emphasis also was
placed upon locating the fur
seal processing plant in Alaska—
more specifically in Seward.
Other topics discussed were
agricultural development, tourism,
multiple use of the ^Kenai Natl.

beef cattle, and aviation and air
ports,

material for the viators to “listen
to” in connection with pro
jects and problems that were felt
to be of mutual interest to Anch
orage as well as the Peninsula.
