Special Meeting of City
Council to Consider
Purchase of Power Co.
A special council meeting is
scheduled for this evening, pend
ing the arrival of Councilmen E.
Straub and Dan Jones who are
both out of town on business.
The purpose of the meeting is
to meet with Bill Winn, who rep
resents a bonding company in
Seattle, interested in making loans
to communities in connection with
the purchase of public utilities.
The project to be discussed is
that of the City of Nome pur
chasing the Northern Light and
Power Co., as it is reported Mr.
O. S. Weaver, owner for many
years, wishes to dispose of the
plant and retire from active busi
ness. He now makes his home in
Santa Barbara, Calif.
The power company was orig
inally owned by an English firm
known as the Industrial Mining,
Light and Power Co., and was
bought by Mr. Weaver in 1932.
The city has for many years re
fused the Northern Light and
Power Co. a franchise as done pre
viously, making it difficult for the
company to plan its operations.
