CEMETERY IMPROVEMENT
MEETING TONIGHT
* >
This evening at 8:00 p.m., a
meeting has been called by Coun
cilman Gordon Osborne for the
purpose of further planning for
the improvement of the Nome
Cemetery.
The project which was started
last year and for which some
funds were raised by individuals
an dorganizations includes plans
for laying out the cemetery pro
perly so that a permanent record
may be kept of the various plots
and the approaches kept in good
condition at all times. At the pres
ent time much of the cemetery is
entirely without care, under wa
ter and many graves are not
marked at all.
It is hoped that through this
organization and the city a perm
anent plan may be established.
Representatives from all inter
ested organizations, as well as in
dividuals are expected to be at
the meeting tonight.

I ROAD COMMISSION ASKS
PUBLIC COOPERATION
The Alaska Road Commission is
hard at work on all the roads out
from Nome in all directions. Su
perintendent Hudert spates that ^
the department would appreciate
the cooperation of the car owners
of the commur in staying off
the roads for c *>r than emergen
cy purposes so . hat better roads
4
may be completed as soon as pos
sible.
Much delay is caused by the use
of roads under repair, as much of ,
it has to be done over and over
again when the public fails to co
operate with the department.
The road commission now has
trucks on the Cape Nome road
■and are endeavoring to get that
road in condition for the week
end, however Superintendent Hu
dert cautions owners of passenger
cars that the road beyond Hast
ings is dangerous as well as at
Cunningham which is about eight
miles out. There is also ice on the
Cape he reports.
Bessie Road is open to Little
Creek with the Anvil Road open
to Banner. Glacier road is impas
sible beyond Banner station.
The Sunset Road is open as far
as the bridge but not too safe for
passenger cars as there are sev- 4
oral places on the road where tfie
water is very deep yet.
The Dexter Road is still closed
and will be for some time as there
is lots of snow on the divide.
The Osborne Road is in good
condition except for the crossing
at Dry Creek.
If the public will endeavor to
stay off the roads which are not
ready as far as pleasure trips are
concerned, according to Superin
tendent Hudert, THEIR roads will
be in condition sooner and stay
better for the season.
THEY COULDN'T WIN
THIS DEBATE
LONDON, </Pi—The Lancashire
county public assistance commit
tee debated long before deciding
not to appropriate $1048 in foot
ball pool winnings of six indigent
inmates in a public institution.
Then they found that the money
had been spent, anyway.
