PI,AN FOR THE FUTURE
During the past summer num
erous Civil Aeronautics Author
ity representatives have visited
Nome on general inspection trips
and in connection with the dev
elopment of civil aviation in the
Territory.
The Civil Aeronautics Author
ity already has a comprehensive
program under construction thru
out the Territory, and it behoov
es Nome and this section of A
aska, to keep in step with this,
our latest and one of our most
vital industries.
Not to be forgotten, is also the
fact that the U. S. Army is al
ready commencing construction
of air bases in Alaska, and that
Nome is amost certain to be in
cluded as a main terminal.
With these incidents fresh in
mind, and the recent statement
by the Chief Inspector of CAA
for Alaska, that Nome should
turn its attention to the selection
of a permanent site for a com
mercial airport; it is time that
Nomeites considered a project
of development which in a very
short time will be necessary to
the progress of aviation in this
part of the country.
The demand in transportation
is for speed, comfort, and saf
ety, and with the advent of large
transport airplanes many times
the size of our present fleets, we
must have accomodations for
landing and takeoffs. We must
have safety facilities,in case of
adverse weather. We must have
suitable runways for large air
craft to take off and land.
At the present time we have j
!
i no ground available for expan
sion. We should look toward ex
pansion and development now—
not wait until the lack of it is
ho’ding the industry and country
behind. Be ready for develop
ment and expansion of these fac
ilities and Nome will step ahead
with time.
Alaska has the focus of the Ad
ministration in Washington, D.C.
and is rapidly advancing in pro
gress. However, to continue to do
this, we must look forward and
plan for the future. Standing
still will get nothing. Coopera
tion and foresight in the devel
opment of Alaska will definitely
make this Territory a better
place in w’hich to work and live.

! 1 i
! ished speaker. Rev. Wood prom
ised at a later date to appear
before tlie Chamber and have
something further to say concern
ing development of this city.
Howard Lying. Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the
1939 Legislature, who was also a
visitor at the luncheon delivered
an explanation of the omission
of the item of $10,000 for the
Nome landing field, from the ses
1 sion laws.
His purpose in volunteering
the information, he said, was to
clear up a situation which the
Chamber had not yet be able to
fathom.
Speaker Lyng read a copy of
a letter from the Secretary of
Alaska, E. L. Bartlett, to Gover
i nor Troy and to Highway Com
! missioner Wm. A. Hesse, in
!
which it appeared that the
1 $10,000 item had been left out
! of the senate combined bill of
H iuse appropriation measures,
passed at the 1939 session.
It appeared from Mr. Lyng’s
explanation that the House had
passed numerous appropriation
bi Is and sent them to the Sen
ate. There they were combined
into a single bill which in turn
was sent back to the House for
passage. The House in its final
days passed the "combination ap
propriation bill.” and after being
duly signed it became a law.
In the imixup of combining the
bills in the Senate, the Nome
item of $10,000 had been omitted
and the error was not detected
by any of the committees or the
two houses, although the total
appropriation included the
amount.
I Speaker Lyng. in the course of
his explanation as to how the
; money was to be made available
i from fiscal road funds censored
I the past administration of such
i funds by Highway Commissioner
j Hesse, staing that this year the
j road funds had been apportioned
, by law equally among the four
i divisions, instead of being left to
i the discretion of the Highway
Commissioner.
Senator Leroy Sullivan rose in
defense of the Senate and spoke
briefly as to the possible blame
attached to the Senate commit
tees. However, he agreed with
Speaker Lyng in that the entire
'-;
legislature was probably negli
gent in allowing the referred-to
bill to become a law without cor
rect checking of the amounts con
ained in the measure.
Upon motion of Ralph Lomen,
a wire to Governor John W.
Troy, chairman of the Road
Board, and Highway Commis
sioner Hesse is to be sent by the
N.W. Alaska Chamber of Com
merce asking that the $10,000 be
made available in accordance
with the above-mentioned bills.
W. F. Barber. Nome agent of
the Pacific Alaska Airways call
ed the attention of the Chamber
! :0 the necessity of arranging for
the selection of a site for a new;
airport at Nome. Upon his mo-1
tion. not to exceed $150 is to be
made available for a survey of:
such a site. The meeting then
adjourned.
