Meeting Notes
Several important matters
came before the City Council
Monday evening.
John Walters was appointed
jail superintendent.
A discussion was held concern
ing the possible exchange of the
old utility truck of the Nome
Power and Light for a nail pick
er belonging to Les Bronson which
he is offering the city for $1,000.
No decision was reached.
It was reported that the city
siren on the City Hall has burn
ed out and another is needed to
replace it. It was suggested that an
air horn might be a better type
of alarm due to deterioration
of sirens because of weather con
ditions.
A new business in Fairbanks
is offering its services to com
munities as advisors and planners
called the A-l Business Associ
ates.
Ernie Kling offered the city a
street sweeper for $550 and also
told them about a boiler at Moses
Point which might be made avail
able to the city if it desired to
purchase it.
Recommendations from the
floor included a request that all
property sold by the city should
be properly advertised so that
everyone has an opportunity to
purchase and know that it is
available.
Another recommendation from
the floor was that the city take
an interest actively in the bor
ough problem as well as home
rule government.
