COMPLETES WORK SECOND AVB
Second Avenue is now completed
and the graveling which was done
by members of the Nome Fire De
partment makes the Avenue one of
the best streets in our city. The
Fire Department hauled over 100
loads of gravel and distributed !*
over this thoroughfare, thereby sav
ing the city tax payers quite a large
sum of money. The City Council
and especially the street committee
deserve much credit for obtaining
the results thus acquired in this
work. The Fire Department boys
are also to be complimented on their
interest displayed in the bettering
of our city streets.

made many new friends to add to
the host of old timers that have
known Jimmy and been his friends
for years. Jimmy says he will not

tell, others have said that same
thing but still there are some that
went away to stay and are with us
again. Good luck Jimmy, and when
