up in the news May of 1909 when
the Miner s Bulletin reported a foot
race between Wada and a Greek

Dr. Anderson
Nominee For
Council \ aeancy
Dr. Harvey W Anderson, with the
Fairbanks Doctor's Clinic, has been
nominated by councilman Dick
Greuel to fill the vancany left by
the resignation of Ted Mainella ear
ly this week,
Greueis fellow councilmen, how
ever, felt that it was too early to
replace the former Fairbanks bar
owner. George Sullivan, who re
turned to town from Big Delta just
before the meeting, said that he
had not had time to contact a per
son he was considering. Other coun
cilmen concurred in this view,
A new councilman will be chosen
at next week's regular meeting. An
derson, however, remains nominated
for the post.
Only four members attended ^he
meeting, since Dr, Paul Haggland
was “off somewhere" on a fishing
trip with his son, Peter. It looked
for a while as if there would be
no quorum for Monday’s meeting, j
until Sullivan showed up from Big
Delta.
Mayor Douglas Preston, who was
late for the meeting, apologized.
"I understood that there would be j
no quorum," he said, “so I was,
washing the car."
Later, Preston was accused by
City Manager Slankard of trying '
to get out of attending the meet
ing. "Well, your wife talked to my
wife, and I understood there would j
be no quorum,*’ he replied.
The council approved a special
deed, drawn up to prevent specula
tion on land in the Weeks’ Field
area. The body also voted to sell !
three of the lots to Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Hirmango. who plan to erect i
FHA houses on the lots.
