Work Progressing
Smoothly at Port Clarence
Frank Pugh, project manager
for Raber & Keif, Inc., and Beck
Construction at the Cape Spencer
(now known as the Port Clarence
project* reports the work is going
satisfactorily with the rock
crusher now in operation prepar
atory to black topping the run
way and a full schedule operating
in the pouring of concrete. Next I
week steam thawing starts for |
the tower foundations.
Mr. Pugh called attention to an j
article in the Nugget some time i
ago which stated there were only |
2 persons from Nome hired on I
the project. He states, that there
are now 12 local people hired with
a total of 110 on the payroll.
Hiring is done through the AGC
by agreement which takes men
through the union halls in Fair
banks and Anchorage, he stated,
and although he would like to hire
more local people he has used
all the unions would allow.
Work will continue until late
December, Mr. Pugh stated.
Mr. Pugh completed a similar
job to this one on St. Paul Island
last year and before that con
structed the hospital at Bethel.

City Council Votes
T. D. Sherard, Director of High
1 ways advised the City of Nome
in a letter read at the regular
City Council meeting Mon
day evening that the breakup
of Front Street paving had been
anticipated for the past two years
and the possibility is recognized
that the entire paving project on
Front Street may have to be re
considered by the State to ade
quate standards. Specialists in
maintenance and repair are sched
uled to come to Nome to study
the situation and surplus asphalt
from the Air Force has been con
tracted for. Until a more per
manent remedy can be effected
some patching will be done.
A new roof is to be contracted
for the City Bldg., as the present
flat one is not practical. Speci
fications for the bids are being
prepared.
The need of completing the
street on Warren Place was dis
cussed and the cost was to be in
vestigated before the next meet
ing.
The Council authorized the
Nome Power and Light to the
amount of $15,000 to purchase
materials and poles needed to fur
nish power to the VORTAC in
stallation which is scheduled for
construction about 5 miles east
of Nome next summer. This is an
air navigational aid being con
structed by the Federal Aviation
Agency.
A discussion on proposed lot
evaluations was discussed by the
Council with Merrill Chitty who
will prepare charts in color so
that the public may have some
idea of the proposed increase in
valuations.
Two bids for property east of
Snake River were presented by
Nome Enterprises (Doyle and
Parker) which were $1,200 for
lots 2-3-4-5 in blk. 139 and $900
for lots 1-12 and 13 in the same
block. The matter was tabled as
there was discussion on public
bidding, also the differences in
! the new plat from the old plat in
the area.
The city is to tear down the
old ARC warehouse east of the
BIA Apts., due to deterioration
and fire hazard.
All Volunteer Firemen are to
receive special plates for their
cars and cars now having volun
teer plates are to turn them in
if the owners are not members
of this organization. This will
make it possible to quickly iden
tify cars allowed in a fire area
either in town or at the airport.
The deed having been received
for the property back of the
school known as the White proper
ty. Steps will be taken to have
the Silverio Ruiz residence
moved as planned many months
ago, so that the property may be
cleared for school usage.
