CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSES DOGS
The Common Council of the
City of Nome met Monday in the
City Hall at the regular meeting.
The report of the City Health
nurse was read and approved.
Other regular reports were given
by the several councilmen.
The special committee on pro
tection of city property from the
Bering Sea reported a meeting
with merchants of the south s de
of Front St.f and that very little
information was gathered which j
could be used to any advantage.
Fire Chief Brown reported that
his department had made inspec
tion of more than half of the build
ings in the city and found most of!
them in fair condition from a fire1
prevention angle.
“The survey will be continued” i
stated Chief Brown, “as quickly as
conditions will permit, and we are!
noting the corrections as pointed1
out to the owner of the property,1
and will make later calls on the
particular premises.”
The "Dog Ordinance” was
brought up for discussion regard
ing the problem arising out of too
many dogs running loose, and the
recent shooting of some dogs
which could not be caught.
The Police department was in
structed to make a reasonable ef
fort to catch the loose dogs and
impound them for 24 hours before
shooting them.

seats for the movies.
Belle—Why do we need four
seats?
Bill—Two for your mother and j
father, and two for your Little,
brothers, Jimmy and Billy.
ANCIENT ROMANS had to get
reserved seats for events held in
thjeir amphitheaters. According to
the Encyclopaedia Britannica, tic
kets of clay showing seat numbers
have been found, and the seats in
the amphitheaters were usually
carefully numbered.
