McConaghy, President of the Northwest Alaska Chamber.of Com- | winter, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1940. Chamber Asks (oasl Guard Consideration Withhold FHDecision on Station, Headquarfers, Is Local Plea A radiogram urging the Coast Guard to reconsider its recent de- cision to build its $250,000 Alaska | communications station at Ketchi-| kan was sent this week by the | Juneau Chamber of Commerce to| | Rear Admiral Russell R, Waesche. Commandant of the Coast Guard | in Washington. R. E. Robertson, who wrote the ¢ message, said today “this might be| locking the barn door after the | horse has been stolen” but it would (at least bring from Admiral Waesche some explanation of why | Ketchikan was chosen in preference | lo Juneau. The Juneau Chamber’s radiogram to Waesche was as follows: Advantages Cited “We respectfully submit definite decision relative to your loca |ed without full consideration of| | fine harbor advantages of Auk Bay|them for Christmas, along with all | with aceessibility to nearby Juneau airport for which. CAA has recent- | {ly appropriated half million dol- lars for further development, as ndvnm.ages and central situation with respect to water and air trans- portation.” Marshall Crutcher, Seattle certi fied public accountant and member | of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, said at today’s meeting he had been hearing a great deal of Ketchikan's side of the Coast Guard location argument for some time and it was refreshing now to hear from Juneau. If it were not for Govern- ment work, Ketchikan probably woud be in a poor condition this he said. Juneau, Crutcher said, appears to be the only place he has visited 4dn recent menths which has not felt the defense expansion program. He said things seemed to be “nor- mal and quiet” here. Ernie Parsons suggested that if Junéau wanted to have the Coast Guard warm up to the place a little more, it might be a good idea to invite Coast Guard officers to the Chamber of Commerce meet- ings occasionally. Year’s Progress President Charles Beale, who will hand the gavel over to President- elect Curtis Shattuck after next Thursday’s meeting, read a brief report showing the Juneau Cham- ber’s growth and accomplishments & during - the past year. The Chamber all through 1940 has had an average weekly atten- dance of 42-plus; at present has, 134 active members, the greatest number ever; has been called upon to furnish more information about Alaska and Juneau in 1940 than ever bafore, has had 331 visitors at its meetings during the year, $400- .and $500 in the treasury. Former President Charles W. Car- ter complimented Beale on his ser- vice .during the year, whereupon members showed their apprecianun -by. - applauding.
