Tin* election of A. I’olet us treasur
er of the City of Nome and action by
the council which placed Charles
Milot, its altsent member, on the re
tired list, were the outstanding fea
tures of the last regular meeting of
the city council Monday evening. The
selection of Mr. I’olet to fill the city
treasurership was made following be
lated acceptance of the resignation of
Cl. it. Jackson, handed in some weeks
ago, but not accepted at the time of

failure of Mr. Jackson to render a re
Wdth the exception of the absent Mr_
Milot. the councilmcn were all present
when the meeting was called to order
by Mayor Holt around the usual meet
ing hour. The first business of im
portance to appear was a report from
the School Board covering the school 1
expenses of the period from June 1 1
to November 30. The report disclos
ed a total expenditure of $6,773.27 j
during the indicated period, of which
$3,166.00 comprised the salaries of the
teaching staff and $1,291.00 expended
in repairs and alterations to the
school house. In a letter accompany
ing the statement the Board stated
that the report was rendered in ac
cordance with the understanding
reached at the last meeting of the
council hut Indicated that the board is
still obdurate regarding the matter of
intimation that the report in question
was made until the matter was finally
“settled by law." The communication
informed the council that "the city at
torney has in hand all information on
tlie* subject and he will shortly ad
vise." After delivering this some
what cryptic statement, the letter re
quested the council to issue a warrant
for $2,000 for January school expenses
on the Territorial school fund, for
which new funds were forthcoming
from the Territorial School Board a
few days ago. The council accepted
the report without comment and
granted the warrant request.
The report of City Treasurer CJ. It.

disclosed a balance to the credit of
the city amounting to $8,017.16.
Chairman Tarnutzer of the Street
Committee reported that his commit
tee, accompanied by Rond Commis
sioner Barney Gibney and Chief
Haughey, had conducted a survey of
the Dry Creek bridge and found that
extensive repairs are necessary to
place the structure in shape for sum
mer traffic. The planking is known
to i>e in had shape and one pier is
damaged. The committee found that
a portion of the present surfacing
lumber can he used but considerable
new two inch lumber will be required
to place the bridge in shape.
Chairman Griffiths of the special
icommittee appointed to look into the
proposal of John A.Braun to purchase
the Tom Albright property on East
I Front Street for the taxes and other
accrued delinquency costs reported
I that in the view of the committee $150
[was too small a price to accept and
believed by advertising the property
I ter sale to the highest bidder a larger
[sum would he realized. The council
,did not agree with the committee,
however, and on motion of Council
man Tarnutzer it was ordered that the
property he sold for 'the amount of the
accrued taxes and costs to date, the
total representing something over $150
The council then turned to the long
deferred resignation of Mr. Jack
son as city treasurer and granted him
[release. Mr. I’olet was then elected
to fill the vacancy without opposition.
The question of securing lumber for
the use of the city during the open
season was then brought up and re
sulted in the mayor appointing a com
mittee. consisting of Councilmen
Griffiths and Tarnutzer. to look into
the question. The committee was |

Councilman Milot not having attend
ed the council for the statutory 90 day
period, his seat was declared vacant.
After placing the absent Mr. Milot
on the retired list, the council ratified
the action of Mayor Holt In permitting
the private use of the council chamber
as a school room for the teaching of
Russian. It developed that the agree
ment whereby the city hall became
municipal property as « gift from the
citizens, stipulates that the building is
to be in some degree a free public
forum. In accordance wtth this un
derstanding. the city can .make no
charges for its use for public purposes,
aside from the costs of light and heat.
The mayor said the use of the council
chamber was allowed under the sti
pulation that the city should be reim
bursed for the lighting and heating
The council then took up the matter
it* the proposal to purchase the Soger -
stroni and Hagen street clock and a
committee was appointed to investi

raising funds by subscription and en

was also directed to determine whether
it is advisable to purchase the old
time piece or a new one. Adjourn- j
meat was then taken until the next'
regular meeting night.
