COUNCIL PLANS FOR
STREET LIGHTS AND
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
I _
At the regular meeting of the
Nome City Council the old, worn- j
out fire alarm system was dis-!
cussed and it was decided to make '
some attempt to improve the sys- j
tern.
The council moved to put up a
few more street lights in various j
parts of town. -j
The street committee reported
that the sewers and drains which
had been broken up in last year’s
storms were now completely re
paired.
The council selected the loth,
16th and 18th of December for the
Board of Equalization.
The council passed a resolution |
j to petition the U. S. Engineers cf
: fice to refuse renewal of permis- i
i sion to Lomen Commercial Com
; pany for exclusive use of the river
i frontage and to permit use by any
j legitimate firm doing business in
I the river harbor. This resolution
j was in reference to a proposal by
j Archie Ferguson, of Kotzebue, to
i enter into the lighterage business
; in Nome. The council voted to*
i hold a special meeting with Mr.
! Ferguson upon his arrival from
the north for a hearing on his pro
posal to lease or purchase prop
1 erty.
The Council voted to take out
$15,000 fire insurance on the city
buildings through the Fidelity and
Guaranty Fire Corporation of

timidation a^d menace and trying
to create an atmosphere of terror.”
The interior ministry said the
four expelled officers of the Sov
iet patriotic union were president
Katchva, treasurer Krivochine
and secretaries general Dmitri Ko
balev and Alexander Palevov. The
announcement said most of the
group formerly were White Rus
sians who became Soviet citizens
after France was liberated.
A Paris newspaper reported
that inquiries at offices of the pa
triotic union elicited this reply:
“Our president is away on a trip.
We know nothing about any ar
rests.”
The order came a few days after
police raided a Russian repatria
tion camp outside Paris, seized a
small quantity or arms and re
moved a woman and her three
children.
Snyder To Start
Bond Drive; Asks !
For High Taxes
!
WASHINGTON. (/P>—Secretary i
Snyder said yesterday the treasury
plans a huge peacetime bond-sell
ing drive, and he called for keep
ing taxes high enough to reduce
the nation’s debt.
Discussing President Truman’s
anti-inflation program as a wit
ness before the House banking
committee, Snyder declared:
1. Controls on installment buy
ing should be restored.
2. Congress should pi-ovide
funds to finance a new drive to
sell government bonds to individ- ;
uals.
As for maintaining a high tax
level, Snyder said “It is impera
tive that during these times of
great prosperity we should con- j
tinue to collect adequate revenues
over and above a balanced budget
to provide a systematic reduction
of the debt total.
“A reduction in the debt
through a substantial budget sur
plus is the most anti-inflationary
measure that can be taken in the
fiscal field.”
He said ‘‘a sizeable reduction in
the public debt will be possible j
during the early months of 1948.”
This pointed obviously to his |
conclusion that government in-1
come from taxes will exceed its
expenditures despite prospective
appropriation of millions for for
eign aid.
