 "3 The name by which the pro- posed corporation is to be known is City of Nenana.
 A. Other facts tending to show good grounds for such incorporation are as follows: Reason for incor- poration of town in the near future is in the fact that the control and management of the townsite exer- Cised by the Alaskan engineering commission must soon be relin- pushed, owing to the beginning of the issuance of patents to the townsite lots sold under the Alaska | railroad regulations established by the executive order of June, 1915, which makes 1t necessary that municipal corporation be organized in order that the maintenance of streets and alleys, fire protection and other public services may be continued for the benefit of the residents of the !
  said community. In the judgment | of your petitioners, the maintenance :. of an organized municipal govern ment existing for all the objects and purposes authorized by the law of the territory of Alaska relating to the incorporation of towns. should be of material and continuing benefit to the community.
 Wherefore the undersigned re- spectfully request that d time and place be fixed by your order as contemplated by law for considering this petition"
