The Fairbanks Commercial Club

The Fairbanks Commercial Club is again becoming active in the eff fort that it started two or three years ago for better roads and gov ernment railroads. The club will enter upon a renewed fight for bet ter wagon roads in the territory, and especially between Fairbanks and the coast, and is urging the government to make the million-dol- lar allotment as desired by Governor Strong and other territorial officials. The Fairbanks Commercial Club will work with the various repre- sentative bodies along the coast in the matter of better roads.
 The club voted to continue it's fight for a 2,400-pound mail allow ance during the winter months, in- stead of 1,600 pounds as provided by the present regulations. It was also decided to ask the department to route all the first class mail win ter and summer, by way of the trail instead of by boat in summer as at present. The assistance of Delegate Wickersham has been asked on both of these matters.
 In regard to the railroad bill. which will come up before Congress next month, the club decided to prepare all the data possible regard ing the general conditions in Fair banks and the surrounding district, with a view to presenting it to the government as an argument in favor of making Fairbanks the terminus of the road. The committee ap- pointed to prepare this data is made up of the executive board of the organization, Dan Driscoll and T. A McGowan.
