Here Is City
Dog Ordinance
The Nugget has had several re
quests, from citizens who have
dogs for pets, to publish the city
ordinances pertaining to dogs.
In the light of recent city council
action there seems to' be consider
able confusion as to what rights
individuals have over their pets
with or without dog registration
tags which are purchased from
the city.

Announcement of Paper
Mill For Juneau
Termed Premature
JUNEAU, iff) —Announcement
of the building of a newsprint
plant at Juneau by the Georgia
Pacific Company was termed pre
mature- here this week by the
company’s attorney C. Girard
Davidson.
“There is a lot to attend to—
engineering, insurance — it all
takes time and I believe that the
announcement from Washington
was premature,” he said.
Last Saturday, Rep. Westland
(R-Wash) said in Washington that
the Georgia Pacific Company of
New York had applied to the
National Production Authority for
a certificate of necessity to con
struct h 56 and a half million
dollar pulp and newsprint plant
near Juneau.
Davidson is in Alaska in con
nection with two other projects
as he is also attorney for William
Crooks and the Pacific Northern
Timber Company.
Crooks and Davidson were con
ferring in Juneau this week with
the Alaska Housing Authority in
connection with construction of
400 houses near Anchorage. They
said work on the projects starts
April 1.
Though saying the announce
ment for the Juneau plant was
premature, Davidson said engi
neers for the Pacific Northern
Timber Co‘. of Portland, Ore., will
be in Wrangell in two weeks to
start laying out plans for a four
and a half million dollar sawmill
that the company plans to put
in there. Davidson added that
work will start on the mill within
six months.
- i
shall not and is not intended to
limit the right to kill any vicious
dog running at large as now pro
vided by law.
Section VIII. All fees collected
under this ordinance shall be
turned over to the City Clerk of
Nome who shall deposit such fees
in the general fund of Nome City.
Section IX. Any and all ordin
ances which may be in conflict
with this ordinance are hereby re
pealed.
Passed by the Common Council
of the City of Nome, Alaska, in
regular session assembled the
25th day of June, 1945.
In the past week, following the
severe injury of the two-year-old
child of James Kealiher, nine
dogs have been shot by the police
department and a record kept, by
Harry Johnson, city official.
There may have been more, dogs
shot but the report is not com
plete at this time.
Chief of Police Glass stated that
it is not the desire of the depart
ment to kill pets but it is some
times difficult to catch stray dogs
and especially difficult when they
are running in packs as they do
at this time of the year.

Non-Metallic Building
Materials Available
Along Alaska R.R.
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Bu
reau of Mines said today that
non - metallic minerals Sre avail
able in Alaska in sufficient quan
tities to provide building mater
ials for construction in the Alaska
Railroad belt.
The Bureau, making public re
sults of a survey conducted over
several years, said raw materials
for construction of brick products
are plentiful in the form of clay
from the Anchorage area, fire clay
at Sheep mountain and shale near
Healy.
The Bureau noted that until
recently Alaskan construction has
depended mostly entirely on im
ported materials.
It said the program of using
local sources of buildings mater
ials was stimulated by federal
and military authorities who felt
it would benefit the economy of
the railroad belt.

Short story
of a long shopping list
9
If you were to jot down all the different kinds
of goods and services Standard Oil Company
of California buys, your shopping list would be
about 50,000 items long. Over the years, we’ve
been growing as a customer as well as a supplier
here in the West.
But the most important aspect of our "shop
ping,” we believe, is where we do it. You might
think that a large company like Standard would
centralize its buying in a few metropolitan
areas. Actually, our purchases are made in hun
dreds of Western communities. The almost
infinite variety of Standard’s needs—from
paper clips to propellers, from produce to pro
fessional services—has made the Company an
important factor in the economic well-being of
Western towns and cities.
Last year Standard was a very good custom
er for a great many firms—more than 10,000
large and small suppliers, to whom we paid
more than $125,000,000. We’ve always bought
locally wherever possible and practical. We do it
not only because it’s good business for Standard,
but also because it helps the growth of the
West. We know that our long-run prosperity
depends on that of the communities we serve.
From groceries to drilling pipe, Standard’s
purchases in local communities mean busi
ness to merchants all through the West.
We buy building materials—lumber, roofing,
plumbing, carpentry, and supplies for our oil
fields, refineries, plants, and offices.
We also use the services of doctors, nurses,
pharmacists, lawyers, engineers, surveyors,
drilling contractors, and many others.
