NEWSY BRIEFS
 FROM NENANA

NENAEA. April 10.-In addition to the proposed central fire station steps are now being taken for the installation of central heating plant, which would furnish heat to all of ' the business houses. It will be necessary to maintain heating plant to keep the water mains from freez ing in the winter and the plant would derive source of revenue from the business houses without an added ex pense to the fuel bill. The matter is not definitely settled as yet but i, may carry thru.
 It Is more than likely that the commission and the business men of the town will combine on establish ing a free ferry across the river. It is pointed out that a large num- Der of men will be employed across the river and to charge them any thing for ferry service would result in many of them staying on the work instead of seeking a few hours recre- ation in town. The plan may be brot to a head within the next few days.
