CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DISCUSSES LIVE ISSUES
The worth of a Chamber of Com
merce to a city or community was
never more better demonstrated
than at yesterday’s regular weekly
business meeting and luncheon of
the Seward organiaztion during
which time many major items of
local and district importance came
up for discussion or action.
Among these subjects was that
of the concerted effort towards
construction of a road to the coast
through the Kenai Peninsula reg
ion; others were the “Missing
link” road connecting Seward with
Moose Pass; erection of coal bunk
ers at the Port of Seward; lower
ing of coal haulage costs to Sew
ard from the Matanuska coal fields;
road work for the unemployed;
successful raising of funds for the
construction of a hangar at the lo
cal airport, and numerous other
items.
The meeting, held at noon in the
Electric Bakery, reflected a spirit
of cooperation and progress which
undoubtedly will successfully reach
all objectives.
Among the speakers was L. Mc
Gee who, with Pilot Barnhill, ex
pressed appreciation for the local
efforts and assistance rendered in
obtaining a hangar for the Seward
airport and that Mr. Barnhill is
now enroute to the States for a sec-1
ond plane which also be based here.
The “piece de resistance” on the
menu for the luncheon was rein
deer steak and it disappeared with
much gusto.
Joe Barbieri, widely known min
er and a resident of the north for
a score of years, died at the An
chorage hospital last week, a vic
tim of heart disease, reports the
Anchorage Times.

AIR TRIP POSTPONED
An Alaskan Airways plane was to
leave Anchorage for Seward today
but because of the fog it is thought
that the air trip was postponed.
The plane was to land on the ice
on the lagoon and a lone piling
which would have made landing
hazardous was removed this morn
ing.
