ng and Supply Co. Terms: $543
cash and the balance in 12 pay
ments of $104.00 each. It being
understood that the $500 charge

After a general discussion, it
was moved by Councilman Mal
oney to accept the proposal made
by Larry Galvin. Motion carried
unanimously.
City Attorney Sullivan was ask
ed to explain to the C uncil what
in his opinion was the status of
the City in reference to the pro
test from the trustees of the or
der of Eagles, concerning the
sale of Lot 5, Block E to Nets
Strand. Mr. Sullivan explained at
length and in much detail. Mr.
Sullivan further stated that he
was informed that the charter of
the local Eagles lodge was re
voked.
Councilman Nevin stated that
he was satisfied with the explan
ation of the matter as related by
Mr. Sullivan and could see no
reason for the City to enter into
or assume any responsibility in
the matter contained in the letter
from the trustees of the Eagle
lodge. It was moved to place the
communication fi\.m the trustees
on file.
The Council moved (to pay all
bills approved by the Finance
committee.
The communication from the
Nome Chamber of Commerce rel
ative to the street signs was again
read. After some discussion the
mayor appointed Councilmen
Nevin and Atwood to investigate
and report at the next regular
meeting, |the number of signs
needed and the approximate
cost of same.
Mr. A. Polet brought up the
matter of settlement of 3 feet of
Lot 1, Block D. which was given
by him to the City in the ad
justment of lots in that block
after the fire ,and for which he
was promised compensation, but
never received any.
This matter was taken up for
adjustment at various times in
the past, but due to no desirable
propery belonging to the City be
irig available, the matj.er was not
settled. It was moved to settle
was Mr. Polet at the rate per
foot as assessed, namely $50, the
total amount to be paid Mr. Po
let as compensation in full, ito
be $150. Mr. Polet stated he
would not accept this figure. The
mayor appointed Councilmen Ma
loney to Stewart to investigate
with Mr. Sullivan and report at
the next meeting, any informa
tion pertaining to .the City’s res
ponsibility in this matter.
Mr. Ryan, superintendent of
schools, who was present, asked
for permission |to build a cabin
on skids and place it on Lot 12
of Block 64. He gave his reason
for choosing this location, as be
ing convenient to the school. He
offered to enter into an agree
ment with the City to the effect
that he would move the house off
the lot at any time the City re
quested him to do so.
It was moved ito lease Mr. Ry
an Lot 12, Block 64, at a yearly
rental of $1.00, provided, how
ever, that the City retain the
right to request Mr* Ryan to re
move said house at any time by
giving him 90 days notice to do
so.
Mrs. Atwood who was present
requested the Council to make
some effort to improve radio re
ception, by taking steps to elim
inate some of the noises so in-,
jurious to the broadcast.
Councilman Stewart explained
the difficulty of enforcing the ra
dio ordinance. People who are
not getting any benefit from the
results of spending their time
and efforts, such as members of
the radio club have been doing to
improve reception, (tracing the in
terference with detectors, are na
turally not willing to pay the
license fee prescribed by Ithe or
dinance. Many improvements,
could, he said, be made by at
taching silencing devices to saf
ety razors, and other electrically
driven implements. These attach
•ments are inexpensive, but the
trouble remains to get the people
conscious of (their duty to co
operate with the members of the
radio club in this effort to afford
better reception to all.
Mr. Aben Shallit who was pre
sent suggested that the City pur
chase a ceiUain number of filters
to be sold to those who would
cooperate in attempting to rem
edy the present situation of poor
reception due to local noises and
interferences.
It was moved to appoint a com
mittee (to confer with the radio
club officials and to appropriate
$25 to be used in assisting those
who are now trying to obtain
better radio reception for the
people of the community.
The mayor appointed Council
man Nevin as a committee of
one to act in behalf of the City
in this matter.
Mrs. Atwood called the atten
tion of the Council to the viola
tions of the speed limit for auto
mobiles. She contended that
small children are not safe on
First Avenue when certain driv
ers speed between Lomen’s dock
and the intersection of B St. and

Councilman Kelsey complained
of he numerous bands of loose
dogs at large on the streets at
all hours, contrary to a City Or
dinance. He stated ‘.hat little
children are at the mercy of
those loose dogs, and that two
children were attacked recently
and severely wounded as a re
sult.
City Attorney Sullivan explain
ed the provisions of this ordin
ance, how hard it was to enforce
etc. How the police officers try
to catch those loose dogs and un
successful their attempts at times
are. Various suggestions were
made by way of devising some
means of coping w>th this men
ace, but no definite action was
taken.
Councilman Nevin moved that
the Police Department hire a
man for at least a few day to
make a determined effort to el
iminate the dog nuisance and to
have th» privilege to advertise
at the 'theater and in the press.
Tlie matter of advertising to be
left to the discretion of the Police
Department. Motion unanimously
carried.
Councilman Anderson stated
that he was surprised to learn
that so many complaints were
being made relative to lack of
police supervision during the
late hours at night. He thought
is might be necessary to engage
the services of a special police
man for night duty during the
summer months to assist Mr.
Laws.
Councilman Atwood suggested
providing a car for the conven
ience of the police department,
so that they may be able to move
from place to place in a hurry
in the performance of their dut
ies. No action was taken on this
suggestion.
Some discussion was had on
the advisability of appointing a
permanent police officer but no
action was taken.
Meeting adjourned to meet
again on Monday, June 10th, at
the hour of 8 p.m.
