CITY COUNCIL MEETS
The City Council met in the
City Hall Monday evening with
i Mayor Edward Anderson presid
' ing, and Councilmen Baker, Kitz
I miller, Maloney, OConnor and
1 O'Leary present.
Considerable discussion was
1 had over the matter of building
an annex for the Fire Depart
l ment to house either the truck
or caterpillar, the plans having
i a'ready been drawn up. Council
men O'Leary and Maloney were
appointed as a committee to look
into the matter further.
Lt. Baum, of the U. S. En
: gineers personally made applica
tion on behalf of the government
i for six lots on Belmont Point, j
; stating that the government
plans to build four oil tanks close
to the marine ways in that loca
tion. A motion was made, sec-:
i onded and passed that the six
lots applied for, be leased to the!
U. S. Engineers as per a lease to j
be drawn up by the City Attor-'
! ney for a period of 99 years at
$1.00 per year.
Mr. Wilbur Woods, 'President
of the Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, told the
' Council of the Chamber’s desire
j to be of help with the the prob
■ lems which might arise as a re
! suit of the advent to Nome of
; the Army. Two problems in par- j
j ticular were discussed at length,!
; namely, the matter of applying
j to the government for monetary t
' assistance for building rfcads,
1 and the matter of a recreational j
: center for use of the soldiers and j
the community. Mr. Ralph Lo
, men, chairman of the committee :
appointed by the Chamber, and j
A. Polet, secretary of the Cham-!
ber, were also heard from on!
these matters.
It was explained that applica j
1 tion can be made for funds from j
the government and would per- j
mit at least a temporary recrea
\ tion center for the next year. The
' idea in mind is that the Odd Fel
lows Hall could be rented to the
j City and the City would then be
j responsible for it and have it un
I der its supervision. It would
then be possible for the City to
in turn rent portions of the build
ing at its discretion.
Mayor Anderson appointed
Councilmen O’Connor, Kitzmil
ler and Baker as a committee to
consider the matter of applica
tion for government funds for
street work. Councilmen Malon
ey and O’Leary were appointed
to look into the .matter of a re
creational center for Nome.
Major Floyd M. Hayes of the
Quartermaster Corps, ^United
States Army, who will be station
ed at the new post here for the
next two years, expressed to the
Council the hope that the Army
Nome might become a part «•
the community and cooperate
with the city in every way.
