He paid high tribute to Drs. Chalmers and Swinge of the Bethel { hospital and the nurses of his serv- ice, who with the Territorial De- partment of Health worked “fever- ishly” to bring the epidemic under control. “Due to their effort,” Foster said, ‘the epidemic resulted in no deaths.” Vials Flown In “We mustn’t forget the great con- tribution made by the Red Cross,” he said, “they flew 1,000 vials of serum from San Francisco, without which the Territory-ANS team could have done their wonderful Other business undertaken by Foster on his tour was an inspec- ion of progress made in construct- ing a 400-bed hospital in Anchorage, and a conference with Alaska Hous- ing Authority officials over new loan provisions of that agency which allow $500 “character” loans for im- provement of all-weather igloo type homes for the Eskimos on Hooper Bay.

This includes the Anchorage hospital, a $1,500,000 | boarding school at White Mountain and many schools and medical facili- ties throughout the Territory. “The program of the Alaska Na- tive Service is going ahead rapidly,” he said, “with a goal of complete self-support for the natives and their communities in mind. We have much that remains to be done m realizing that goal.” IMARY GAIL HAGERUP HAS NINTH BIRTHDAY Nine young friends helped Mary Gail Hagerup celebrate her ninth birthday Thursday at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Frank Met- calf.

COUNCIL GIVES GO-AHEAD T0 NEW LOCAL INDUSTRY (Continued from Page One) averaged nearly 50 percent less than last winter. He said cost of snow removal for January, 1949, was $6,000; cost for January, 1950, was $4,200. Cost for December, 1948, was $4,700; for last December, $2,100. Snow removal costs for February, 1949, was $8,000. Mayor Hendrickson said he estimated the cost for this month would be between $3,000 and $4,000 “with luck.” Traffic Code Delayed ‘The council was told that the final copy of the new traffic code for Ju- neau was not yet complete and further work on it would not be done until the next meeting ot the council. Although several appucatmns for rental of curbside parking space by local merchants who use trucks and cars in their businesses were received, no action was taken on them. The council decided that all applications for rental of such curbside space will be considered when the new traffic code has been passed in its first reading. This is expected to take place at the next council meeting March 3. Until then, present parking regu- lations are in force, the council de- . cided. Applications for card table licen- ses were received by the council from the Glacier Cab Company and the Snake Pit. Both applications were turned over to the police com- mittee for investigation. A letter written by Mayor Hen-! drickson to the District Army En-, gineer at Anchorage was read. It/ contained a request that the bid! requirements for the emergency work on Gold Creek be made more lenient. He wrote that the equip-| ment called for in the present speci- | fications for the $25,000 job vir- tually makes it impossible for Alaska firms to enter bids. { The council discussed the matter, of a monthly report from the harbor | master. It was suggested that ne be required to submit one as other, heads of city departments do. No action was taken on the suggestion.
