CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
SPIRITED MEETING
Two vitally important topics
held the spotlight in an otherwise
regular routine business meeting
of the Nome Common Council
Monday evening.
Richard Webb, chairman of the
Streets and Alleys Committee, re
ported that he had made arrange
ments for the City to purchase
a grader in order that the streets
and alleys could be kept in some
state of repair. He said that the
streets are in such a condition the
citizens are practically up in arms
for something to be done. The
grader, he stated, is at present
on the dock and is available for
survey by a committee if the
mayor would appoint same. Mr.
Webb stated that the piece of eq
uipment, in his estimation was
a good buy and that the City Coun
cil should authorize its purchase.
Mayor Dunbar appointed a com

mittee to check up on the grader
to ascertain if it is worth buying.
The second, and not the least
important question, was the pro
posal of a hospital lor Nome, to
be constructed by the Women’s
Division of the Methodist Church
with the provision, however, that
the people of Nome show more
than a passing interest in its es
tablishment.
In behalf of the proposed hos
, pital, both the Chamber of Com
merce and the newly-formed Rot
ary Club presented resolutions to
be read before the Council in an
effort to gain the Council approval
of the proposition, in that the fund
known as the Cappy McDougal
Memorial Fund, had been sug
gested for use in conjunction with
funds of the Methodist Women’s
organization already ‘earmarked’
for the hospital at Nome.
Following much discussion it
was decided by the Council to
have a Committee meet with the
trustees of the fund to ascertain
its availability for the purpose of
supplementing the funds of the i
Methodist Women’s organization.
A number of the citizens of
Nome were present at the meeting
and voiced hearty approval of the
proposed use of the ‘McDougall’
fund for the purpose of equipping
the hospital to the extent of the
fund, with various provisos agree
able to both the trustees of the
fund and the Methodist Women’s
office in New York.
It was announced that the Ord
inance for the granting of a 20
year franchise to the Northern
Light and Power Co., to operate
within the corporate limits of
Nome, a power and light company,
would be voted upon at a special
election on the 17th day of Sept
ember.
