Memorial Day in Nome was
bright and until late in the after

NOME CITY COI XCU MEETS
IN KKGUliAK SESSION
The Nome City Common Council
met in regular session Monday
evening. May 28 th. All members
except Henry Burgh answered to the
roll call. Minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
A petition, signed by Miss Saville,
Miss Walthall and Dr. Curtis Welch
was read asking that in the absence
of all night telephone service it was
highly essential that' a fire alarm
box be placed in the immediate vi
cinity of the hospital and Mission.
The matter was referred to the
fire committee for action.
J. J. Keenan proposed to supply
the City Fire House with steam heat
for $35.00 per month during the
months of June, July. August and
September. The summer rate was.
upon roll call accepted.
Fire Chief Howald reported on
the Fire House equipment and the
general condition of the water
mains and alarm boxes. A list of
new and spare parts for the hydr
ants was read and the matter of
purchasing needed supplies and
stars for the policemen was referred
to the Fire Committee with power
to purchase same.
Chief Howald expects to turn
water into the mains next week and
at that time subject the fire hose
to a pressure test. The city owns
a lot of fire hose that may need be
replaced for the Reason that it has
been unused for so long that it has
probably deteriorated. Old hose
hose will be discarded and new hose
ordered to make up the number of
feet required to meet conditions.
The question of moving alarm bov
No. 42 from Lanes Way to the Hos
pital was acted upon by ordering
that the change be made immediate
ly and that one or more new boxes
be ordered by the Fire Committee,
to be sent for on the first boat.. As
soon as new equipment arrives a
new box will be installed on Lan’s
Way. to replace the one moved to
the hospital.
At this meeting it was decided
that the City ordinance requiring
property owners to clean up their
premises, will be enforced. This
year the City will not haul away the
accumulation at its own expense;
property owners will be required to
provide their own scavanger service.
A penalty amounting to the cost of'
removal will be taxed against the
