Gambell Fuel Oil Shortage
Cheeked Into by BIA
Last Friday the Nugget carried
a news item from Gambell re
porting a shortage of fuel oil at
St. Lawrence Island village na- j
tive store. The next day the Nug- i
get received a wire from Gov.
Egan stating that he had re
quested the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs to check into the matter.
Robert Grant, BIA Area Field
Director here, said he has been
in contact with the BIA teacher
at Gambell, and expressed sur
prise at the reported shortage in
view of the supply delivered by
the MS North Star in September.
Grant said that his informa
tion indicates that there are about
150 drums of surplus fuel oil
available at Gambell from the
Alaska National Guard, the Pres
byterian Church, and from the
military. In addition it is esti
mated that the school has about
12,000 gallons of oil left to see
them through the winter.
Mr. Grant surmised that what
had happened was that the native
store had sold out its supply—
but that a shortage really does
not exist because many of the
villagers had bodght a year’s sup
ply from the North Star in Sep
tember.
