’ Considerable speculation is rife
► concerning what the new coun
► cil will do regarding appoint
» ments to positions in the Nome
f fire department. This is always a
“burning” subject whenever a
new council is elected, and is the
occasion for starting rumors that
so and so is to be let out and
so and so is to be put in. How
ever, the new council will, we be
lieve, do the best possible in the
interest of the city when it comes j
time to take action.
Haste makes waste, is an old '
saying, and plenty of time and
study should be given any mat-,
ter where changes are con.tem-j
plated, whether in the fire depart j
ment or any other department.
One of the principle facts to be!
considered in the interest of the;
city ar.d its taxpayers, is fire pre 1
h vention, and keeping down the
L rate of insurance as low as pos
f sible.
t Any action that would tend to
h raise the rate of fire insurance
► in Nome, would meet with
\ prompt and severe criticism by j
j the property owners and fax pay 1

containng 124 pages was printed
from hand set type on the press
of the author, August, 1936,
Yonkers Collegiate Center, Yon
kers, New York. The following
autograph by the author is writ
ten in ink on the first page in
side of cover: “To Mr. Maynard
who first taught me something
of printing, signed: Walter J.
Marks.”
Walter Marks needs no intro
duction to the oldtimers of Nome
and Teller, but for the informa
tion of the many newcomers in
this section, we are glad to in
form them that he is the son of
Mrs. William Marks, now a resi
dent of Teller. The Marks fam
ily were Nome residents for
many years, and Walter was an
ambitious student of the public
school here. He later moved to
Teller with his familly and dur
ing his spare time learned the art
of setting type by hand and print
ed his own paper on a hand
press.
The research work necessary
for the publication of his master
piece “The Development of Char
ity in Medieval Louvain,” was
made possible by a Fellowship
granted him during 1932-1934 by
the C. R. B. Educational Founda
tion Inc.
The publisher of the Nome
Nugget takes this opportunity of
complimenting Mr. Marks on his
thorough understanding of his
tory and his intensive study
made in delving into the details
of his subject matter.
