Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
Yhc Northwestern A i 2 s k 2
Cnamber of Commerce held a j
noon-day meeting at the Nevada
Grill yesterday. The Secretary,'
Mr. A. Polet, reported that the
action which was taken against
the bills on colonization were be
ginning to show results. It appear
ed that so far little headway
could be made in regard to the
bill concerning federal housing.
News telegrams received by the
Nome Nugget in relation to the
freight rate increases were read
before the Chamber and referred
to the transportation committee.'
Further information is expected
as the hearing of the Maritime
Commission progresses.
A report by the chairman of
the mail committee, Mr. T. O.
Givan, disclosed the work done
by the Chamber in order to have
the mail which had been routed
down the Yukon brought into!
Nome by plane. This action with!
the cooperation received from j
Mr. Burdick of the Reindeer Ser
vice resulted in the mail beingj
brought to Nome gratis from Fair j
banks by the Wien Alaska Air-j
lines and from Holy Cross by the'
Mirow Air Service. The mail com 1
mittee is working on a plan for j
a twelve-month mail contract bej
tween Fairbanks and Nome, han
dling first, second, third and
fourth class matter, letting the
boats handle the parcel post
which the airplanes cannot han-j
die. That would give Nome and
Seward Peninsula the same type
1 of service as in the winter. Mr.
Givan stated that the committee
would need the cooperation of
the Chamber, the town, and the
operators all over the Seward
Peninsula.
Secretary Polet announced that
substantial returns in dues had
been brought about by the let
ters which had been recently
mailed.
