Listens Report
On Work Done
The N< me He alth Council met
Monday evening at the City Hall
at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was
held for the purpose of electing
officers for the ensuing year. A
chairman will be elected at a
later date. The following offi
cers were re-elected:
Vice Chairman— Lars E. Rynn
ing and A. M. Hartford; Secre
tary-treasurer, Mrs. Marion M.
Frawley.
Guidance Committee—Mrs.
Garnet Martin. Mrs. A. Polet.
Mrs. Ida Sprenger, Nome Pub
lic Health Nurse, gave a sum
mary of the information obtain
ed from the recent survey and
also a summary of the work for
the month of August. Mrs.
Spreger also gave a short talk
stating that she had been asked
to insp ct school children at the
Territorial School as a part of
the school health program. A
modern viewpoint' is that child
ren who have infectious diseases
should be excluded from school
as a means of guarding their
health and that of others with
whom they come in contact.
Colds are One of the diseases w’ni
I
j ch cause some concern. It is
known that during the first three
i days cf a cold the germs which
•cause it are easily transmitted
from one person to another. The
first symptoms of many of the
communicable diseases are the
'same as those of a cold, so it is
important that a child does not
attend school during the first
stages of a cold or while he is ill.
Dr. Morcom stated that the Ter
1 ritorial Health Department is
sending a refrigerator to Nome
so that vaccines may be kept in
good condition at all times.
The date of the next meeting
will be announced later.
Following is a summary of Mrs
Sprenger’s work for the month

City Council Met
When the city council met last
Monday evening, Councilman
Bassett was absent. A letter con
taining his resignation was read,
advising that he had been trans
ferred to the Seattle office of the
PAA. No action was taken on
the filling of the vacancy.
A letter was read from the
Nome Nugget submitting an offer
to print the recently passed traf
fic ordinance in pocket sized
books, with cover and title, 3x5V4
for a stipulated amount. Or if
tihe Council wished only to print
same in one issue of the Nugget
a flat; rate would be made and
100 copi s of the paper furnished
free. The ordinance would take
up one whole page of the paper.
This offer of the Nugget was not
considered and the clerk was in
struted to write to other- news
papers in the territory asking for
bids on this printing.
A lengthy report was read from
Mis. Ida Sprenger, health nurse
for the City of Nome, covering
the activities of her office for the
month of August.
Councilman Taggart reported
a long list of improvements made
I on sidewalks, streets and drains
during the past month.
< Councilman Hurley recomimen
ided installation of a Modine heat
j er in the kitchen of the Fire De
i partment.
Councilman Krohlow reported
expenditures of several hundred
dollars on the school building,
being for necessary ventilators,
trasoms, etc.
The offer of $10 of Chas. Max
well for lot 7. block 108, was re
jected for the reason that consid
erable gravel was being us;d
I from this lot for street repairs.
An offer from Raymond Jones
j of $10 for lot 27, block 50 was
; accepted.
Harry Egbert was permanently
'appointed as engineer at the fire
! department.
Bills in the amount of $2300.00
were approved for payment.
The matter of exits at t'he
, Dream Theatre was discussed
and suggestions made for the con
struction of a platform at east
exit if permission could be ob
tained from the owner of the
vacant lot adjoining the theatre
on the east. This, it was contend
ed, would, relieve oongesion as
well as insure safety in compari
son with the present arrange
ment.
Some discussion was had on
the advisability and necessity of
constructing a warehouse at the
rear of the City Hall to store
equipment not in use. But no
action was taken on this matter.
Councilman Taggart offered the
use of one of his warehouses free
of charge.
The clerk was requested to
write a letter to the Command
ant of the U. S. Coast Guard fleet
at Washington. D. C., protesting
in the name of the city against
the removal of the Cutter North
land from Bering Sea service.

Two Boat Service
Seattle, Seward
Is To Continue
To take care of anticipated
heavy southbound passenger tra
ffic, the Alaska Steamship Com
pany has extended until late this
month its two-boat a week ser
vice between Seattle and Sew
ard, Brice H. Howard, Fairbanks
agent of the navigation line an
nounces.
The service was to have sus
pended reently. To continue it,
the steamship Yukon sailed from
Seattle September 14, and the
S. S. Alaska will depart from
Seattle Wednesday, September
21. Both vessels will call at Val
dez on their southbound voyages.
During the summer the Aleut
ian, Columbia, Baranof and Mt. '
McKinley served the Seattle^S?- i
ward route, with the Aleutian
and Columbia making the regu
lar week-end sailings, and the
Baranof and Mt. McKinley, the
extra mid-week sailings.
The Yukon and Alaska are now
taking the places of the Baranof
and the Mt. McKinley on the 2
boat a week service because the
former vessels have from 25 to
30 per cent more passenger ac
commodations than the two lat
ter ships.
During the summer, the Yukon
and Alaska were on the Seattle
Juneau run.

Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it shonid
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.
