Galleher Blasts Capricious
Grandstanders In
Resigning From Council j
Dick Galleher, who resigned
from the City Council after a j
short term of three month, during ■
which time he was very active
and innovated many new ideas to
improve the community, became;
discouraged because of lack of1
progress In the improvements he
felt were so urgently needed.
“Faced with the inevitable
truth that any improvement of
conditions within the City of
Nome are entirely subject to the
whims and caprices of a few ir
responsible, hut vehemently out
spoken grandstanders, I see no
thing hut disadvantage in having
anyone as impatient as myself i
acting on the City Council,” Gal- !
leher said in his letter of resig
nation.
He expressed pleasure and en- j
joyment working as a councilman
during these three months.

since the original with 13 stars is
correct to use on the Fourth of
July.
Tie paved streets have been
hosed down in readiness for the
races and other sports events on
the Fourth of July. They can be
