foundation. The work i« being followed
with great interest by many local resi
dents and the construction operation*
are watched dally by a considerable
number of people from early morning
until nightfall. Owing to high watei
and serious breakdowns in the plfc
driving apparatus, the revetment con
st ruction has been considerably delay

water of last week prevented opera
tions for several days and mote re
cently the pile driver has given con

The Nome Coiniimn Council will
hold the usual hi-weekly session at the
City Hall this evening. It is expect
ed that the coumllmanic. body will
act on the recommendation of the Joint
Harbor committee of the council and
Chamber of Commerce regarding the
proposed construction of city docking
[facilities on Snake Hiver. A majority
[of tin- council are strongly In favor of
constructing the proposed aid to ship
ping and the question of ways and
means appears to be the only serious
obstacle to an ImmedlMto com
mencement of the work. It has been
proposed that the construction be turn
ed over to a private company under
.a. agreement that the docking facili
ties shall be turned over to the city
when the municipality Is able to pay
the costs of construction. In tho In
terval the company would operate the
lug. The proposal Is likely to re
most of the members recalling the un-1
f< rtiinate results to the city develop
ing in connection with the construction
of the fire pumping station by a pri
vate company under a contract similar
to that suggested for the harbor. The
fire plant cost the city a pretty penny
over and above what it could have been
built for iimli i municipal management
and most of the present council are op
posed to permitting themselves to get
into a similar jackpot. Prospects aro
also strong that the much discussed
