CITY COUNCIL OFF TO FLYING START
The new City Council is off to a flying start
with the announced re-survey of streets and alleys.
This problem of missing street markers has
pic rued property owners for many years as one by
one the markers placed in 1934 have disappeared.
Markers in the old parts of town have long been gone.
The council, alerted to the fact that a well qual
ified cadestral engineer was available, took the
necessary steps to give Nome a new complete city
map which will co-ordinate the original plat with
the 1934 (after fire) map and then there will no
longer be a question as to property lines.
Mr. John Short is well qualified, having sur
vey 2d 20 original townsites in the territory for the
Bureau of Land Management as well as being well
experienced in mineral surveys.

! Defense units throughout the
I United States got the warning
I and responded according to pre
i conceived plans.
j More than half a million pro
| fessional and volunteer Civil De
| tense workers are taking part in
i the two-day exercise that runs
I through Wednesday night.
The imaginary bombers were
reported headed for Syracuse,
N. Y., Birmingham, Ala., and
Memphis, Tenn.
Simulated evacuations of the
j populations of all three cities
i were ordered by FCDA admin
! istrator Leo. A. Hoegh from his

| an underground command post in
I Washington and government
| workers there took part in build
I ing evacuation exercises as part
