Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The regular meeting of the
Beard of Directors of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com
rreree was held in the Nevada
Gr 1. The minutes of the last
; meeting, the Ladies Luncheon,
were read and approved.
After disposing of correspond
! er.ee .and under the reports of
! committees, Tom Givan, chair
man of the committee o.n Avia
[ ti'Oin and Communication, report
| ed that he had investigated the
matter of the declining poundage
in all air mail contracts from
Nome to other parts of Seward
' Peninsula. He has found that the
parcel post rates are higher than
the express rates and quoted sev
eral instances (to show that the
shipper was not to blame for tak
ing advantage of the saving and
recommended that the Chamber
take action on the subject and
attempt to have the zone rates,
as charged in the States, be estab
lished in Alaska.
At present we are charged un
i der the highest parcel post rates
| and are in the eighth zone, where
j if the regular zoning rate were
j to be applied there would be
i eight variations in the charges
j in accordance to the distance.
1 For instance, at the present rates
1 we are charged the same rate
for a package to be mailed to
Solomon or Council, as if it were
shipped to New York. On motion
the subject was left in the hands
of Secretary Polet to take up
with the Territorial Chamber on
his trip to Juneau -when attend
ing the Alaska Planning Council.
The Committee on the Unem
ployment Compensation and Re
lief made a comprehensive report
and on motion these subjects
were also placed in the hands
of the Secretary to take up with
the proper authorities while he
is in Juneau.
The next meeting of the Cham
her will be held in the North
Pole Bakery and it will he a
luncheon presided over by Dir
ector Henry Miller.
The Secretary has been in
structed to invite Wm. Barber,
lpcal representative of the Un
employment Compensation Com
mission, to attend said luncheon I
and tell something about his de
partment.
Tom Givan has volunteered to
take over the Secretary’s work
during the absence of A. Polet.

Council Holds
Special Meeting
A special meeting of the Nome^
Common Council was called Tues^
day evening at 7:30 p.m., with i
Mayor Fred Kubon presiding.!

present.
The purpose of the meeting;
was to settle the request of the'

no more basis for negotiaton.
