| Building Activity at Ncnana
The manager of the land and in
dustrial department advises that re
ports received from the townsite
manager at Nenana shows that 104
permits for the construction of per
manent buildings had been issued to
November 30, and that the value of
Se buildings to be erected aggregat
'at $103,250. In addition, 38 per
mits for the construction of tempor
ary buildings have been issued, of a
value not stated.
The permanent structures include
the usual class of business houses
to be found in all Alaska towns,
nearly every line of trade being rep
resented. A number of substantial
residences have also been built. A
telegraph office, a townsite office, a
building for the U. S. Commissioner,
Tand a marshal’s office and jail have
been constructed upon the blocks re
servt^i' for public building purposes.
A telephone system has been install
ed and the town is now supplied with
electric light and power.
This is considered a remarkable
showing in view to the fact that lots
were not sold until the latter part of
^ugust; that the construction of
buildings was not started until Sep
tember 1, and that there has been a
shortage of building material dur
ing the whole period.
Many of the structures in the town
site have been built with materials
obtained from buildings torn down
in the old town of Chena, which is
located near the mouth of Chena
Slough, about nine miles below Fair
banks. It is stated that Chena now
looks as if is had been visited by a
Kansas cyclone, nearly all of the
buildings in the place being wrecked.

as a distinct shock. He is survived
by his wife, who will be 73 years of
age next May, and a family of eight
children.
