Grass Fire Ignites Oil
Tank at Cavota's Home
At Noon Alarm Today
The lire at 12:20 this noon was
at Fred Cavota’s home on Third
Ave. west. A grass fire evidently
set by children at play, ignited
oil soaked ground around Cavota’s
oil storage tank on the west side
of the building, spreading to
the oil tank itself and causing
considerable damage to the out
side of the dwelling.
Fire Chief Webb, at the time
of the alarm, was on a survey of
leaking oil tanks in the east end
of town, and he reported a con
j siderable number were found.
He asks that all home owners
check their oil tanks for leaks
and to cover with gravel all oil
soaked ground near the storage
areas to prevent just such fires

Charles W. “Chuck” Frazier of
the Nome Liquor Store returned
home this week after being away
for six weeks on a visit to his

interested in the future of the
northern part of Alaska.

no place like Nome.”
