members present, the Nenana Com
mercial club held is regular weekly
meeting last night at the quarter:
of the organization in the Unior
building. Matters of a routine
character, including the reports OF
the several standing committees
consumed the greater part of the
eevning, the only new business tran.
sacted by the club being the ad-
mission of three new members, the
granting of permission to the Ne
mana club to use the Commercial
club rooms under temporary ar
rangeemnt, and the creation of a
finance committee by amendment
to the bylaws.
The new members admitted to
the club are William Sborgia, B..
Tunison and Jesse Brown. The
membership of the organization is
rapidly approaching the hundred
mark, the total enrolment now be-
ing SO, probably the largest mem
bership of any commercial body in
the North.
Under the provisions of the by
law amendment adopted, the finance
committee of the club will consist
of the secretary-treasurer, as ex-
officio chairman, and two members
of the executive board. This COM
mittee will pass on all bills before
they are approved by the club, and
no Indebtedness can be incurred
without the approval of the COM
mittee. A substantial vote of the
club, at later meeting, is neces-
sary to overrule any decision of the
committee.
Favorable action was taken upon
the request of the Nenana club to
occupy temporarily the quarters of
the Commercial club, and COM
mittee, consisting of VIM. Taylor,
j. c. VanOrsdel. and NJ. A. Schaeffer
was appointed to meet with Ne
mana club committee to arrange the
details of the occupancy. 1t was
also voted to have phone installed,
the expense to be shared by the
two organizations and by the Labor
Union and Mr.. Gagnon. ....
Secretary Joseph informed the
members of a conference he had
had with Territorial Road Commits
sioner- elect Robert Sheldon regard
ing the road needs of the Nenana
district and had been assured that
considerable money would be ex-
pended south of Nenana, the amount
depending upon the supply Of funds
available for use in the Fourth
division. Not yet having been
officially notified Of his election,
Mr.. Sheldon was not prepared to
make a definite statement regard
ing his plans, but he admitted that
he felt kindly toward Nenana for
the splendid support given him
here. Mr.. Joseph stated that he
had requested surveys for the
kantishna and for Moose and Eva
creeks. Mr.. Joseph also informed
the club that the request for the
of resident of Ne
mana as member of the territorial
road commission had not received
favorable consideration by the gov
ernor, wire from Juneau having

ceipt of number of ore samples.
