LOCAL CHAMBER COMMERCE
 HOLDS LIVELY MEETING

On Tuesday. September 18th, the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce held an intensely inter- esting meeting in their home, the Log Cabin. One of the most in teresting features of the meeting was in the date and the number of members present. The date was the 18th. and for sometime after the meeting was in session there were thirteen members present, un- til Marshal Chas. D. Jones arrived making the number fourteen.
 The meeting was called to order at S:30 p. m., by President Geo. 8. Maynard.
 Secretary A. Polet was requested to state the purpose os the meet ing. Mir. Polet stated that the pur- pose of the meeting was to consider plans to present to Major Gillette, of the United States Engineers, at his forthcoming hearing on . re- survey of Nome's harbor. which is to be held to decide whether or not an extension of the jetties into deeper water is feasible, practica ble and necessary. The purpose of the extension, if made, is to provide sufficient depth in the mouth of Snake river to allow boats to enter the river at all stages of the tide. and provide shelter in the river for small boats from rough water in the roadstead.
 When the existing jetties were constructed, the law provided for depth of eight feet of water in the mouth of the river The concensus of opinion at. the meeting Tues day night was that the spirit of the law providing for the conatruc- tion of the jetties was not fulmled. Mir. Polet read some correspond ence, relative to the improvements of the harbor. and more particu- larly concerning the hearing to be held by Major Gillette. among which, the following letter from General James G. Steese, relative to the matter:
 WAR DEPARTMENT,
 United States Engineer once,
 Juneau, Alaska, Apr. Is, 1927 The Secretary
 Northwestern Alaska c. of C., Nome, Alaska.
 Sir:
 The River and Harbor Act ap- proved January 21, 1927, provides for a preliminary examination of Nome Harbor, Alaska, with a view to its improvement by the Fedora

Government in the interests of nav igation. The duty of making the examination and report has been assigned to this ofice.
 For consideration in connection with the examination and report, 1t is desired to obtain the views of ment as to what work should be done and what effect the work pro- posed will have on existing or pro- sDective commerce.
 It is understood that you are in- terested in this improvement. shall appreciate. therefore. any in- formation that you can give. If found practicable and desirable. a public hearing will be held later to develop the situation further. No construction work has been authorized. Future action by Con- gress will await receipt of the ex- animation and report now under consideration.
 Very truly yours,
 JAS. G. STEESE. District Engineer. Much discussion followed the reading of the correspondence. A committee was appointed to draft a plan to lay before Major Gillette. It was decided to let the Harbor Committee of the Chamber. and the Harbor Committee of the City Coun- cil obtain all the data available, before the arrival of Major Gil- lette. President Maynard suggest ed that the joint committee con fer with. National Councillor. Geo. D. schofield. before submitting the findings
 A smoker was arranged as re- ception for Major Gillette. Vice. President, E. L. Range, with power to appoint his own committees. was appointed by the President to take charge of all arrangements for the smoker.
 After further discussion on the harbor situation, it was decided to recommend to Major Gillette only those improvements which were provided for in the original law. under which the jetties were built.
 The Chamber then discussed the advisability of having a survey of Boring Sea made by the Bureau of Fisheries to ascertain what the fisheries situation is in these wat CTS. A committee consisting of Geo. D. schoheld, National Coun- , cillor. Ralph Lomen, E. K. Johan- sen and A. Polet, was appointed to take this matter up with District Fish Commissioner O'Malley, thru (Continued On Page Six)

SAYS COUNTIES.
AREN'T GETTING.
A SQUARE DEAL.
Greensboro Publisher Tells Us
State Shoves of Too Much
on Counties

Declaring that the tendency
OF the State is to increase the
burdens Of the counties. and
make them use up their credit
for state burdens. when they
ought to preserve it for their
own future development, Hon.
Z. L. Jctfrcss. of Greensboro
speaking in this city Friday
night, took exception to parts
of Governor McLcan's message
to the General Assembly.
Mr.. JefrresS. who is also Mayor
of Greensboro. addressed the Eliz-
abeth City Rotarians, and members
Of the Chamber of Commerce. on
some of the problems of municipal
Government, and pointed this out,
becau use as he said, it was his opin-
ion that the counties and towns
should be on the alert to see that
they retain within themselves, all
necessary power to carry forward
their local needs, and to educate,
their children. IL doubt" said Mr..
Jcffres,s whether those at Raleigh,
fully appreciate what the local COM
mites are having to do for the
cause of education and for many
of the improvements which have
enabled North Carolina to make
such rapid progress. Local, cOrn-
ty. and city Governments must be
made efficient. Money should not
be wasted. and we should see that
our tax money is spent properly
and that our public improvements
represent money honestly spent
The States effort to make a good
record will eventually cripple the
counties, unless checked, he said.
Mr.. Jcffrcss remarks were prompt
ed by the following portion of the
Governors biennial address to the
General Assembly:
"Under the constitution and
laws Of North Carolina, it is
possible for local officials and
subdivisions of government to
authorize the issuance of bonds
for purposes they may designate
as necessary, when in fact they
arc not really necessary. Often
when a popular vote is ordered,
there is apathy among the vOt-.
crs, and they do not shake it
off until the next tax bill come

cause it was down and out and

AlthO their line was incomplete,
oicffials Of the Virginia Electric &
Power Company rushed work on
the wires to permit temporary
hoOk-up with the local plant, and at
ten o'clock Wednesday night, Eliz-
abeth City got its first super-power,
