NO DANGER OF WINTER SHOR FACE SUPPLIES

Recent reports to the effect that the Victoria will not be able to handle a sufficient quantity of merchandise to meet the requirements of Nome dur ing the winter owing to the required coal shipments taking up q large part of the vessels cargo space on the two at n meeting held by the Board of Di- rectors of the Nome Chamber of Com merce in the Polet establishment last evening.
 A telegram from the Seattle Cham her of Commerce Alaska Bureau read during the session disclosed that there is still five hundred tons of cargo space on the last trip of the Victoria as yet unspoken for and also that the company has given direct assurance to Counsel Leehrey of the Territorial Shipping Board that all freight traffic offered will be handled by the com- pany, as well as all passenger traffic provided that the intermediate and steerage accommodations are used on the last trip
 The meeting disclosed further that Investigations conducted by represen- tatives of the Chamber of Commerce here also refute the idea that Nome might be forced to go on short rations because of a shortage of supplies re- sulting from lack of cargo space Secretary A. Polet informed the meet ing that he had personally interviewed every merchant in the city and ascer- tained that their aggregate shipments on the last trip are not greatly in ex- cess of 1000 tons. This tonnage plus the coal shipments scheduled to ar rive, will still leave a large amount of open cargo space on the last trip. As q result of the display of facts. there need no longer be any apprehension that there will be a serious shortage of supplies of any character during the winter period All of the merchants contemplate carrying sufficient goods to supply their trade throughout the winter and the fuel company is lay ing In a coal supply equal to all de- mands,, No one will need to go either cold or hungry. as result of shortages in local supplies.

The message. combined with the tonnage expected by Nome merchants. shows clearly that there is no danger of shortages resulting from inability of the Nome merchants to secure supplies. Although no sign of q freight shortage is to be seen, it is probable that the general resent ment against the contemplated treat ment of passengers on the last trip will result in the continuance of the effort to have another boat sent to take up the surplus of passengers which cannot be handled by the Vic-
 tora without forcing them to take any form of commodation offered, re- gardless of it's character.

All Lines Not Equally Important,
Declares Board of Estimate
While the rapid completion OF all
these links above enumerated is a con-
summation dcvoutly to be wished. yet
they are not all equally Important.
argues the Board Of Estimate The
hoard is inclined to act on the idea that
it would be ruinous to contract i'm
mediately for steel elevated structures
at the highest war prices, and that
while it may DC glad to provide for the
necessary inks in tho structures al
ready wellnigh completed it would be
foolish to contract FOR outlying clc-
waited lines which can better wait than
can schools and docks and fire stations.
On November 80 the commission pre-
scented acquisition for s26.5OO,000
"for the purpose of allowing for con
tracts deemed necessary to be made
during the year 1919" which rcquisi-
ton the Board Of Estimate, with some
warmth. denied, declaring that an UNI
dertaking had been given that the req
uisition should be accompanied with a
detailed exposition Of the estimated
cost of the various sections and list
ing of the projects in relative order
Of Importance.
On December 10 +he commission pre-
sented such a detailed schedule, so that
the decision is now with the Board of
Estimate. 1t will determine how soon
and where the work shall move for
ward. So soon as it releases the funds
the commission will let contracts.
