FLU COMMITTEE ID MAKE EFFORT
 ID SECURE CASH

For the purpose of discussing ways and means of defraying the cost of combating the flu epidemic in Nenana, a number of citizens, representing the health board, the Alaskan Engineering commission, the town trustees and the public generally, met at the firehall last night, and committees were named to look over the bills and to take Isuch steps as might be deemed ad ivisable to secure assistance from the Territory, the Alaskan Engineering commission or any other source that might reasonably be approached. Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, who was one of the mem- bers of the special committee ap- pointed at the first general meeting to arrange for the care of flu pa tents, reported, and then read the Hist of bills presented to the com mittee, covering practically all the expense in connection with the epi- demic Mir. Browne also explained 1 in detail the various charges made l by the Alaskan Engineering com mission, all of which, he admitted, might be subject to revision.
 The total cost of handling the
 epidemic, as shown by the bills pre- sented, was between s19,000 and l S2O,O0O, of which amount the com
 mission charges form a very consid- erable part.
 Mir. Browne also read a statement showing the number of patient days.

 commission employees and the re-
 mainder, 573, chargeable to resi-
 dents of the town proper.
 1 The commission, Mir. Browne stated, stood ready to assume it's share of the expense, and he inti-
 mated that it might De possible to

stretch a point in making division of the burden. He said, however, that the commission is held strictly accountable for all funds expended, and questioned his authority to ex- ceed certain limits. But he believed it would be possible to secure per mission to make partial payment of claims, pending a. final adjust ment of the matter.
 It was pointed out by representa- tives of the town that the town is, in sense, still ward of the Gov ernment, directly under the super vision of the commission, and with out authority to levy taxes to meet such an emergency as has arisen. And with view to securing a large measure of relief from the funds at the disposal of the commission, the members of the board of town trus- tees were appointed a special com mittee to make recommendation for formal presentation to the Alaskan Engineering commission. This mat ter will be attended to this evening, and the question taken up immedi- ately afterward with Colonel Mears, through MT. Browne.
 Messrs. Joe Fischer, O. NJ. Jack son. Martin Nash. Carl Schmidt and R. s. Donaldson were named as a finance committee to go through the bills and prepare report for pres entation at a later meeting. This committee will hold its first meeting on Friday evening.

Telephone Company 10 asking the

mission to increase other rates, IL
was announced~by A. r. Berry, presi-
dent OF the company, this morning.
IL was also announced by Mr.. Berry
that the company would not discon-
tinue the nat residence rate. as many
persons believed.
mo matter that we believe IL un-
businesslike and unscientihc to sell
unlimited telephone service at nat
rate to householders, the residents OF
Washington want II; II Is extremely
popular, and believe In letting them
have IT." said Mr.. Berry.
1T will be recalled that late in
1917 the telephone company went be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
and asked that the flat rate be dis
continued. The people resented that
feature OF our request Shortly
afterward the Government took con-
troll OF the system. and the flat rate
has not been discontinued.
although many abuses occur un"
der the fiat rate system, and al
though It is difficult to find any
other service sold in this way today.
I am firm in my intention to allow
the people OF Washington to have
ltheir preference In this matter"
Another matter OF popular appeal
is the nickel-in- -the-slot telephone.
We have not asked that this rate be
increased. The old 8 cent telephone
will not be disturbed. We have no
intention of asking that that rate be
increased to ten cents"
However, the appeal Of the tele-
phone company to the Public Utilities
Commission asks that the flat rate
for service be increased. 1t Is the
argument of the telephone company
that it's investment in Washington
nets the company less than 3 per cent.

Explaining his healinss Mr.. Hickson
said: when spiritual healing Is

for those in the ministry who do not
possess the gift to use and develop II
in their visitation of the sick.
Healing Comes From the Lord.
'sThe possession Of the gift of heal.

but 1t makes them special channels
through which our Lord can reach

them His own healing virtue or life,

soul also. The lack of corporate
