COUNCIL ORDERS INVESTIGATION
OF ALLEGED COAL CORNER
coal will l»e ‘he subject of an inves
tigation by City Attorney O’Neill, act
ing under instructions given by the
Nome Common Council at the last reg
ular session of that body Monday
evening.
lJepofff* have been current for some
time to the effect that a large part of
the coal brought in last fall by the
lighterage cdinpnny for winter eon
sumption was bought up by various
parties who are now charging extor
tionate prices for quantities sold to
those* who were unable to secure their
winter supply before close of naviga
tion. Several individual's and a busi
ness flym v two were mentioned in
connection with the alleged fuel cor
with Mayor Chas. F. ILice presiding.
Four couneilmen answered to roll call,
the absent one’s being M W. Griffith,
who is Outside, and Councilman Alfred
J. Jxunen. The absence of the latter
was due to his having left on a trip
to the North in connection with the
j^oanen and Co. reindeer business.
The minutes of the preceding sos
si »n were read and approved. Under
the head of Oomjinunica*ions, the clerk
read a telegram from the government
committee at Anadyr, Siberia, enquir
ing as to who had been elected presi
dent of the United States. A telegram
from Councilman Griffith at Seatt’e
relative to the freight overcharge made
by the Alaska Steamship Co on lunt
1h*i- shipped in by the council for use
<»n tlio seho >1 house w;ia also presented
t«> the council body by Cl> rk Grimm.
The nK“.4iigo was to the efTect that his
cfToits t<» secure a settloment of the
company charges on a proper hasis
had been fruitless, the Seattle head
quarters of the company insisting on
the original sum charged. According
to the telegram the attitude of the
<• uuflmny was due to some extent to the
repudiation by It. A. Carroll, the
«-<*m|Kcny's summer agent here, of his
earlier assurances to council niemfbers
that Stic difference would 1». amiably
| adjusted by the Seattle office. Accord
| ing to Griffith's messjjpe.^Csjrroll now
insists that the charge made by the
comiKiny is coiTect and the claim of
the council, that the bill is double what
it should Ik*, wrong. Ciuncllman
Oriflith w:us also unable to secure any
satisfactory statement from the lum
l»er c«>mi]Kiny regarding the ainount of
lumber actually shipped and stated In
i his message that it looked like theref
was nothing else to do but to pay the
.bill as rendered. The telegram w *s
ordered placed on file to await the ar
rival of a letter from Griffith explain
ing the situation in full.
A number of new bills were read
and referred to the Finance Committee
for consideration. Rills given second
reading after approval by the same
crthflmrtttee were ordered paid by wa
The council next instructed the
Mayor to send a reply t<> the message
fnom Anadyr, regarding the results of
the presidential election. The ciun
cil then took up the rejtorts anent the
alleged coiner in coal and after some
discussion directed the City Attorney
to investigate. Councilman. Tamut
zer was directed to look into the mat
ter of securing certain coal which was
referred to as having been promised ‘o
the city by Jafeit Tdndeberg. head of
the Pioneer Co. lief ore his departure
for the winter.
Pnder the order of new business.
Mayor nice informed the council that
he will probably be absent from ■‘he
nest two meetings of the council bod>,
as it is necessary for him to go to
Teller in connection with business
matters.
Before concluding its session, ‘he
council passed a resolution changing
the office hours of the City Clerk. The
prevailing schedule. 9 a.in. to 5 p. rn.
was changed to make the onening hour
1 l>. in. and the tune of (lowing A p.
The shortage of coal for heating
punpuMe and also the failure of *he
council to move the office of the city
clerk from its present location to over
the fire department are the causes for
-he cutting down of the office hours.
