HOLD HEARING ON
 HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION
IN TERRuORY

JUNEAU = A public hearing held prior tO the submission of the proposed plan for hospital consruc- l ton was held here December Mir George Suudborg, a member of the Hospital Advisory COunicl was ap- pointed chairman of the meeting. 1 territory-wide invitation was extended to all organizations and interested people to attend this
 meeting and air their opinions or hospital construction needs for their community.
 According to a statement made l by Miss Gertrude Wetzel, hospital administrator, it is advisable that every hospital in the Territory fill out an application for construction funds. Without this application blank filled out, the opportunity Of the community for participation in a federal grant will be withdrawn. Money is allocated to states and territories on a population basis. The population. used for estimating Alaska's hospital needs was IT. sloA figure furnished Alaska as the
 1945 estimated population by the r. g. Bureau of the Census. EaeE
 Alaskan community is entitled to
 make application for the total a.
 mount (S40.O00) for any con-
 struction contemplated and must
 be based on relative need. An ap-
 plication must be submitted each
 year if further construction is an
 ticipated. The federal government
 can participate one-third, and one
 third only, in construction. For eX-
 ample, if a community asks for the
 full amount $40.000, it must
 match the federal funds on a two
 to-one basis, that is, SSO,000. Money for hospital construction
 was appropriated by the last ses-
 sion of the legislature for hospiJ-
 al construction but no provision
 was made for raising the funds. Consequently, the Territorial trea-
 sury does not have the matching funds available now. However, ac- eording to a statement by Mir. Sundborg, it would not hurt for communities 10 write to the Boa d
 of Administration and tell the
 Board of their interest in these funds.
 A community can solve the pr5-
 blem locally, however, by raising
 its own funds for matching pur-
 poses. Even a single organization can take the initiative.
 Another point brought out in
 lhe discussion was that no Alaskan hospital is eligible for grants-in- aid unless it states that it Is non-profit association and no dis lcrimination will be made to pa tients because of race, creed or
 color. The standards of the hospit-
 al and the standards of the medi-
 cal staff must be submitted in the hospital plan.

LA5hA POWER 6 METALS

 OF LUMBER FROM HEX.

The Alaska Power and Medals .a saWmaI uf Mill Creek on fhe

 aaad feet of spruce lumber lfoH Wraugeu Wednesday on the $. s Oloya Hitch of the Alaska Trans poratiau Company. The lumber #as sent To lumber broker H B.. olson In Seattle who. several years ago was located at ths saw min here.
 This was the first shipment of lumber that Alaska Power and Metals has sent outside of Alaska. Manager Roy smith returned from Seattle last month witch a contract calling for all the lumber ne can cut and he also purchased new 800 h.p water turbine, soon to be installed
 Operating on a small scale smith now cuts about 2.UU0 feel un hour but when Che new turbine and gang saw are in operation. he hopes to cut 5000 feet an hour
 Now employing about nine men steadily. Smith hopes soon tu have the complete min in operation. An unusual gang saw, that is not yet usJalled,e looks like the shaft and eonnaetiHs rod oi a large one=eyl- iuder steam engine with vertical saW blades replacing the piston Ar smith claims lt Go be the first in thjs part of the country and il cuts I2"A2f" into l-inch lumber
 The mil carriage handles logs 10 a 5I-ineh diameter, cutting what is termed short mill' Or logs under 25 feet. The green cham is also an unusual design with tne sorting tables hanging
 from overhead
 Logs are dragged up chute running from Mill Creek under the mill and lumber can be sold down another chute to barge waiting in the Creek.
 MT smith hopes to be employing about 2o men in his operation by summer and though he said he does not want to expand too fast. has started construction on a new bunk house and dining room for his single employees In the aom- mer he hopes to have three small. one-bedroom houses under con struction for himself and other married personnel

JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STARTS 1948
 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

The WrangelI Junior Chamber of Commerce voted at it's meeting last Monday noon at Civic Center 10 start it's 194S membership drive immediately. Dues will be the same as last year. Five Dollars fer business houses and Three Dollars for individuals. L. T. Campbell is chairman of the membership com mittee as well as Chamber Treas urer.
 Continuing their discussion of in yestigating the local light and power rates and possibly recom- mending some adjustments, Cham Der President Fred Cunningham said the present debt on Wran- gelIs power plant is about $37,- 900 at 5Ro interest. Fred Hanford said he had read the city's con- tract with Fairbanks-Morse Com pany for the purchase of the new engines and found no clause a. gainst an adjustment of rates as long as the city continues to meet the payments when they are due.
 Committee appointed to work on an examination of the rates con- sists of Fred Hanford, J. M. Steear, L. T. Campbell, M. M. Gus tard, Dick Brinck and Thor Hof- stad.
 Fred HanfOrd presented the in- formation he had obtained on tGe City Manager-Council form of gov ernment, which form of city gov ernment the Junior Chamber hopes to petition for and have put on the next election ballot The in- formation was turned over to the committee handling the matter.
 Mr. HanfOrd further stated that he was given to understand that there is still some S480,0O0 of gas oline-tax money in the Territorial Treasury available for roaI con struction. L. T. Campbell added that the Chamber should continue to push for the road to Back Chan nel for. in addition to opening up home sites and giving the town an auxiliary seaplane site, Mill Creek is considered one of the three best sites in Southeastern Alaska for a pulp mill He continued that the present sawmill operator was plan ming to build homes over at Mill Creek which would be unneces- sary with a road to a site opposite the mill and a water taxi across Back Channel. It would be more convenient for the men to live in an already established town, he suggested, than to start their own. and as it is only about five miles from Wrangell to Mill Creek, the time lost in committing would be negligible
 Mir. Hanford pointed out that Mir Charles Burdick, who handles the Forest Service system of roads, would be here shortly and the Road Committee could confer with him.
