Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The annual meeting of the N.
W. Alaska Chamber of Com
merce was called to order by
President Leroy Sullivan at the
Nevada Grill.
The minutes of the last regul
ar meeting were dispensed with
as they had been previously pub
lished in The Nome Nugget.
Secretary A. Polet read a let
ter from Vice President Lomen
on the subject of Territorial Pen
sions and Relief, a resolution
from the Valdez Chamber of
Commerce in reference to the
Slattery Report, a letter from the
Delegate on the subject of
freight and passenger transporta
tion to the westward of Alaska,
a letter from the Essick Mach
inery Company of Los Angeles
on a newly invented two man
suction dredge. These were re
ferred to the new Board of Dir
ectors for action.
Ballots containing the names of
the 15 nominees were distributed
by the Secretary and as there
was no further nominations Mr
Henry Miller and Mr. Kurt
Sprenger were appointed tellers
and while they were engaged in
tabulating the vote, the President
called on two distinguished vis
itors in our midst.
First Mr. Hemsing who is
known to everyone, having serv
ed in the capacity of teacher
and in several places in North
western Alaska and who is now
engaged with the Reindeer Ac
quisition Unit responded with ex
pressing his peasure in being
back among us and he said that
he felt like coming back home
as there is no other place that he
has liked as much as Northwest
ern Alaska.
President Sullivan called upon
Mr. Kelley who responded pay
ing tribute to the hospitality
shown him since his arrival and
stated that he felt sort of repaid
for the extreme cold weather by
the warmth of friendship. He
told a very amusing story to the
delight of those present and hop
ed that during his stay that he
may be able to show his apprec
iation for the genuine hospitality
shown him and as the time goes
along hoped to make acquintanc
es and friendships that will last
forever.
The tellers now being ready
handed in their report which
Showed the following to have
received the majority of votes
aird were declared elected by the
President:
Thos O Givan
B J McConaghy
Dr Thos Morcom
A Polet
Harvey Starling
H G Gabrielson
Chas H Code
Ralph Lomen
Henry G Miller
W L Slack
Hon O D Cochran, President
of the Territorial Chamber of
Commerce spoke briefly on the
solidarity of the Chambers and
gave instances of how it is ap
plied in the natural outcome of
ill-advised movements which are
frustrated by the quick action of
the united efforts of the Cham
bers of Commerce of the Terri
tory.
President Sullivan called the
attention of the Chamber to the
movement started toy the City
Council last evening to make a
preliminary survey as to the coal
shortage situation. Afiter discus
sion and on motion the same sub
ject was referred to the Board
of Directors to at on at the next
meeting.
As the hour was long past,
President Sullivan thanked the
membership for their coopera
tion to carry on and make his
term a success, stating that while
he was absent most of his year
he felt that the work was carried
on satisfactorily and efficiently.
He especially complimented the
secretary for his unceasing and
active cooperation aiding consid
eiably to the life and interest of
the Chamber.
The next meeting of the Board
will be next Tuesday at the M
& M Bank at 3:15 pm when the
election of officers for the en
suing year will toe held.
On motion the Chamber ad-1
journed.
