REGULAR COUNCIL
MEETING UNEVENTFUL
Monday evening the Nome Cora
fflon Council met in regular session
with all members except R. B. Jul
ian present.
After reading of the minutes of
the former meeting the treasurer’s
report was read, showing $6025.50
of city funds on hand. The school
Fund shows nothing on hand. Money
had been received by the School
Treasurer but he failed to deposit
the funds in the proper manner as
is clearly designated by law. The
matter was left in the hands of the
city attorney, he to see the treasur
er of the School Board and compel
him to make a proper deposit, ac
cording to law.
The School report for the quarter
ending May 30th was submitted by
Clerk W. F. Baldwin and on motion
the city clerk was instructed to in
form the School Board to report
each month to the city council and
to submit an itemized statement of
all the receipts, expenditures and
balances. There seems to be an at
titude of defiance assumed by the
School Board in this matter. They
consider that they have the sole
right to handle the school funds
without accounting to the city.
The City Council, however, is de
termined that the School Board

The Police and Jail Committee re
port that since the employment of
a patrolman there has been a com
plete abatement of the dog nuisance
and the patrolman was commended
for his strict attention to the duties
incident to his position.
The Streets, Alleys and Lights
Committee reports that hauling of
heavy loads of lumber and machin
ery is causing much damage to the
city streets, but have been assured
that where unnecessary damage has
been done the contractors will re
pair the damage. The lumber being
hauled is of unusual /length and
weight and much difficulty is being
experienced in transferring the
loads out of town. The TJ. S. Com
missioner’s office has suffered sev
erla broken windows and severe
shocks from the impinging timber*,
all of which will be repaired by the
contractor. The buildings on the
south side of Front street, at the
junction of Steadman Avenue, also
have suffered damage which will be
compensated for.
The Health and Relief Committee
reported that James Chepot had
been taken from the Maynard-Co
lumbus hospital and placed in quar
antine in the home of Mr. Kell,
who had entered into a contract
with R. B. Julian to care for the
patient at the rate of $20.00 per
day. As Mr. Julian was absent
i from the meeting he was not heard
j on the subject, but it appeared from
| the information obtained that he
j had exceeded his authoritj" in mak
i ing a contract with Mr. Kell and can
in no wise bind the city. An ordin
ance specifically states that no one
councilman can contract the expen
diture of city funds without due ac
tion and approved by the council as
sembled. The matter was placed
in the hands of the City Attorney
for investigation and adjudication.
The Law and Ordinance Commit
tee was instructed to draft or amend
an automobile ordinance covering
the city limits. Many drivers are

full power to devise ways and means
to cover the present omissions and
commissions.
An Eskimo woman, named Rosie,
had purchased a piece of property
from Mrs. Bailey with the under
standing that all taxes had been
paid but upon investigation it was
found that back taxes and present
taxes were still unpaid. As the wo
man is without means and apparent
ly had been Imposed upon it was
the voice of the council that penalty
and interest be rebated upon pay
ment of the principal tax.
The Street Committee was in
structed to investigate the various
streets and devise some means of
hauling heavy loads without injur
ing the planking. Second avenue
and B street were suggested as like
ly outlets for the teams.
On behalf of the Pioneers of Al
aska and other civic bodies the City
Attorney. Mr. O'Neill, presented to
the council the fact that a number of
graves in the Belmont Point Ceme
tery are without headstones or any
other means of Identification. As
the law contemplates a proper iden
tification of each and every grave
action will be taken to force delin
quents to make the proper mark
ings. Both carelessness and Indif

dition and wherever in the future
there is such a remission a heavy
penalty will be enforced,

HUDSON'S BAY
MEN RETURN
FROM SIBERIA
A Eide and J. Brow n, who signed
with the Hudson's Bay Company to
take charge of the Company post at
Anadyr, returned to Nome from St.
Michael on the Sea Wolf. Thes«
two fnen came to St. Michael on
the schooner Ruby from Siberia and
then took the Sea Wolf for Nome.
The Ruby will haul a dredge in the
Kuskokwim country.
It was the intention of the Hud
son’s Bay Company to discharge the
Karel ff Bros, who were in charge of
the Anadyr station, and place Amer
icans in charge, but upon arrival at
Anadyr it was learned that ir was
unsafe to make a change at the
present time due to the unsettled
political situation and therefore the
two men were returned to Alaska.
On board the Bay Chimo was an
agent or representative of the White
Guard who attempted to negotiate
terms with the people on shore but
was unable to do so on account of
the absence of anyone who had the
necessary power or authority.
The meu who returned to Nome
stale that in their opinion it is un
safe for any foreigners to attempt
a landing with the purpose of engag
ing In mining or trading unless they
go in large numbers. They state
that the only authority at the pres
ent time recognized is that of force.
A few men have no chance; many
men, with the weight of numbers, is

Coal hi present in the Anadyr sec
tion in large quantities and can be
obtained with little or no trouble.
The people don’t object to anyone
taking and using the coal, but re
fuse to permit the removal of gold
or other things which they say be
long to the people.
It is stated that coal can be ob
tained and landed in Nome for $20
or $25 per ton and make a good
profit. If this is the case small
boats should be able to make profit
able trips (o this country and sup
ply the Nome market.
