CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSES STREETS
The Common Council of the City
of Nome met Monday evening in
the City Hall for regular business.
Several visitors weer present.
The main topic under discussion
was the quality of gravel placed
on the streets the past week. The
street committee stated that the
plan was to put the coarse materi
al as fill for the fall and to put
crushed rock for surfacing in the
spring.
H. F. Harper of the Nome Motor
Company requested the committee
to forego putting any of the big
rocks around the streets adjacent
to the garage, and stated he had
been graveling the area for the
past several years and would con
tinue to do so.
Ben Mozee stated that King’s
Way between Spokane and Divi
sion streets should be filled and
made passable for at least the
service vehicles such as scavenger,
oil, water and grocery deliveries.
The homes in the area are inac
cessible at times because of the
soft tundra and marshy ground.
The council voted to consider the
fill and gravel a portion of the
street, at least for one-way travel.
Applications for the office of
Chief of Police of the City of Nome
were read and tabled for a week.
It was decided that the City
take a hand in petitioning for a
last boat of this season for Nome’s
winter supplies and send tele
grams to the proper authorities.

tif, even cakes and molded salads

OKI A «e Pensions
Receive Boost
Persons receiving old age assist
ance are receiving increases in
grants this month, according to a
recent announcement by Director,
Russel G. Maynard of the public
welfare department following ap
proval by the board.
Availability of increased federal
participation and Territorial bal
ances made possible the return to
former standards of making grants.
In spite of the foregoing, there is
little likelihood of much of an in
crease in the present caseload of
1400 grants for the balance of the
biennium ending March 31, 1949.
Mr. Maynard stated that while
additional federal funds were
available in the aid to dependent
children program, the depaptment
cannot increase the average
amount of grant per child because
the 1947 appropriation was so far
below the amount needed for the
biennium.
He revealed that there were 130
families including 332 children,
who were eligible but could not be
certified for payment because of
lack of the necessary funds.
Since April, 1947, Mr. Maynard
reported, 900 cases involving about
1300 persons have been denied
general relief services and in many
cases even emergency hospitaliza
i tion or medical care because of in
sufficient funds.
“Local community groups, fra
ternal orders, Red Cross Chapters,
Salvation Army units, etc., have
aided immensely in attempting to
meet emergency needs but their
limited resources are in no way
sufficient to meet the overall de
mand,” said Maynard. He an
nounced that the board of public
welfare would meet sometime this
fall to prepare a report to the leg
islature meeting in January, 1949,
with estimates of funds to be re
quired during the next biennium.
Children of pre-school age rare
ly fear snakes.
