"NOME" CHANGED TO
"BOULDER CITY"
Nome awoke this morning to find
its name changed to “Boulder City”
by some prankster who placed a
sign on one of the huge piles of
rocks and big gravel in front of the
City Hall.
The past few days the street de
partment has been hauling “gravel”
to resurface Front street. It seems
that the great amount of large
boulders in the gravel caused con
siderable complaining on the part
of businessmen and auto owners,
it was reported by one council
man. He stated that the grader op
erator would not attempt to run
his machine over the large rocks.
