CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES
HEALTH PROBLEMS
The Common Council of Nome
met in regular session Monday
night in the City Hall with quite
a few local citizens attending.
The city’s health and sanitation
problem took up most of the meet
ing as there were several points
to be brought out for the Council
to decide.
The matter of inspections by the
City Health Officer was discussed
and it was placed before the com
mittee of the council which has
Health and Relief duties.
Regarding the disposal of ref
use, it was brought out that there
were numerous cases in town
where garbage and other refuse
cans were dumped in places other
than the city dump. Namely in
b rk yams and on the beach be
low the bulkheads, making for un
sightly end unsanitary conditions.
The Council decided to revise
the existing ordinances relating
to the subject and put ‘teeth” into
same.
Other business included the re
hiring of police and fire employ
ees in the city departments. It
was moved to advertise for men
to fill the positions for the coming

Marshall Replies
Russian Statement
(Continued from Page 0ne>
“The diseusion of any proposals
in regard to outstanding issues
which the Soviet government may
have in mind, must, as a matter of
course, be conducted in the body
charged with responsibility for
these questions.”
This was a clear reference to
the United Nations and to the
various Allied bodies set up dur
! in * and after the war for handling
such problems as the future of
Germany and Austria.
Marshall then presented the
positive side of the American at
I titude. He asserted that “what we
want is action in the fields where
| action is possible and urgently
necessary at the present time.”
He specified issues before the
United Nations Security Council
and other UN agencies, such- as
• 1 as
German issues before the Allied
Control Council in Berlin and
Austrian treaty negotiations.

Gov. Seigler immediately or
dfr -d a complaint against the
strikers under Michigan’s new
Bonnie-Tripp Labor Law.
It requires th ! the State take

isn’t,” Sigler said. “If it’s con
stitutional, we might as well find
■ut now.”

deadline all 12 Chrysler plants in
Michigan were idle. There are
three more in Indiana and one in
California.
Picket Cal Moorehead, parading
before the big Dodge plant, told

strike.”

million dollar ‘kitty’ to finance
