City Council Meets
!
The Nome City Council met
Wednesday evening with Mayor
Edward Anderson presiding and
all members present.
Reports were made in connec
tion with the fire which occur
red Tuesday at Lomen Commer
cial Company’s old office build
ing. It was stated that the fire
fighting equipment worked fine
and that the engine responded on
the first jab of the button. The
engine ran for 20 hours and 50
minues without stopping. It is
understood that about two weeks
ago an automible had run into
the hydrant at the N.E. corner of
the Federal Building and that
within an hour afterward the
lines and valves were checked,
particularly the one leading to
the hydrant in front of the bank.
It was discovered at the time of
the fire that some one had tarn-)
pered with the valves, as all
those which should have been I
open were closed. In the winter
time the main line is drained and
left open from one end of town
to the other, 'but the laterals are J
closed.
It was found at the time of the
fire that there is a bad break
under the ground past Polet's*
but it wasn’t noticeable unless
water was being pumped. It was;
stated that it might be advisable
to cut off the main line at Polet’s,
and lay the hose from there, |
which is only 250 feet more. |
That is part of the old line which ;
has been there for 30 years and'
there may be another break tin-;
derneath.
Under the conditions that exist
today it has been decided that
from now on evey hydrant will
be opened and closed every day. j
A motion was passed by the!
Council that the Fire Depart-:
ment keep a record of every-:
thing that goes on in the departi
ment and submit a report to the i
Council once a month.
It was stated by the Assistant
Fire Chief that the booster,1
about which there has been some
speculation, worked fine. They
were able, he said, to deliver all j
the water they wanted on 4
nozzles and reduced to 4 inch
and a half hose. It was worked
at 90. but they could have work
ed it at 100, he said.
A new ordinance is to be
i drawn up to prohibit the turning
loose of dogs at night.
A motion was passed that the!
City Clerk order a duplicate
gasoline pump and starting mo
tor for delivery this spring, if
possible, and stipulating that one
unit be placed in a separate lo
cation from the main plant.
A motion was passed to accept
the legal services of C. C. Tan
ner during the absence of City
Attorney Leroy Sullivan.
A list of all volunteers for
Home Defense and a list of all
women and children have been
completed, it was announced.
A motion was passed that the
! City Council would meet Dec.
I 15, 16 and 18 to sit as a Board
| of Equalization.
