NW Chamber Plea
For Coast Guard
Station Refused
The Northwestern Alaska Cham
ber of Commerce, which met
Tuesday noon, had communica
tions received by the organiza
tion indicating several projects
they have been working on have
not met favorable results.
The U.S. Coast Gueard doesn’t
feel the need of a station here;
the Land Office doesn’t feel the
need of an office here (they sug
gest we buy our own plats); and
Delegate Bartlett’s plea for re
consideration of the White Moun
tain School being left in operation
for students in this area has been
turned down.
The secretary of the Chamber,
Terry Jackson, wrote an excellent
letter of protest ter the delegate,
expressing the feeling of the com
munity that all the economies of
Alaska are being made in the Sec
ond Division while expansion in
expenditures continues to be in
creased in other areas.
