Nome’s $143,000
Budget May Bring
Higher Tax Rate
The Nome City Council met in
regular session Monday evening.
Fire and Police Chief Webb
rendered a full report and recom
mended an inspection clause in
the hazard ordinance for chim
neys, stoves and electrical in
stallations that would comply
with National Fire Underwriters
Standards. His suggestion met
with the approval of the Council
and he was instructed to have an
amendment drawn up by the City
Attorney and presented t o the
Council.
Keith Hedreen of the Streets
Committee, stated that the re
pairs on Front Street sidewalks
now being made are the first
since they were laid in 1935 and
are part of the 10-year program
of sidewalk replacement.
Sixty-two arrests were reported
for July with $1,002 collected in
fines. No fires were reported for
the month.
Liquor store dealers failed to
reach an agreement on extended
closing hours so Mayor Andersen
ruled that due to “lack of deci
sion” on the part of the dealers,
the matter would be dropped
until they could present a written
request for extension of the hours
to the Council.
Gus Bjomstad requested the
purchase of property in back of
his residence formerly occupied
by the railroad.
Sales taxes collected for the
second quarter were reported by
the city clerk to be $12,001.74
or $600 less than for the same
period last year.
Property taxes collected were
$38,813.86, with about $2,000 in
delinquent taxes.
The estimated budget for next
year was presented, for $143,000,
which is $20,000 more than for
the present year. The increase is
explained as due to such items
as an larger school budget, drains
and sidewalk repairs, proposed
major repairs to the fire main at
the east end of town, new fire
hose, and public rest rooms.
The discussion following the
reading of the budget indicated
clearly a raise in taxes is in
prospect for next year.
