CITY COUNCIL NEWS BRIEFS
Mayor Joseph Ribar vetoed f
Ordinance 1140 in City Council
actions last Monday night.
In vetoing the Ordinance
which would have allowed
youths from 13 to 16 to operate
motor scooters under rigid City
restrictions, the Mayor ex
plained that he felt a 13-vear
old was not competent to oper
ate a motor scooter on City
streets.
The v-*o followed almost one
and one-half hours of discussion
on the Ordinance. Numerous youths
were in the audience and many of
them expressed their views on the
subject.
After the measure had been passed
by the Council Mayor Ribar an
nounced that he was going to in
voke his cower of veto. He said he
wanted the matter to be brought
up when the full Council was pres
ent. (Mr. Brewington was absent
from the meeting.)
The Mayor also pointed out that
the Council could override his veto
with five affirmative votes. Coun
cilman K M. Cox had voted against
the Ordinance.
Spaulding: Property
In other action, a motion for re
consideration was made for the re
zoning of the Spaulding property in
Block 146. City Attorney Barry
Jackson exnlained that all the par
ties concerned seemed to be agree
able to ” deed variance which would
allow Dr. Spaulding to operate a
clinic in the block.
Jackson went on to state that
the block would have to be rezoned
in order to make the variance ef
fective. The reconsideration mo
tion w?s tabled for two weeks,
when the deed variance is to be
ready.
Ordir-^ce 1141 which changes the
present City assessment system was
passed, over the objections of Ross
Kimball. Kimball stated that he felt
the square foot assessment system
iroposed for his district was “bru
tal.” Councilwoman Sylvia Ring
stad agreed with Kimball, stating
that she felt such a system was
“downright dishonest.”
Four new Ordinances were placed
in first reading.
Ordinance 1145 would establish a
Code Review Committee, to review'
present building, electrical and
other such codes and suggest need
ed revisions.
Ordinance 1143 would establish
an Electrical Code for the City.
Ordinance 1152 proposes a change
in the format of the Council agenda.
The change would move the com
ments and grievances by citizens
and council members down near the
end of the meeting, to allow the
Council to complete matters previ
ously placed on the agenda more
quickly.
Ordinance 1130 would set aside
certain property belonging to the
City for parks, playgrounds and
other recreational purposes.
Ordinance 1144. which would es
tablish a Conflict of Interest Ordi
nance was tabled for two weeks,
pending additional discussion by
the Council.
The City Council also passed a
resolution granting City employees
leave to go on Military reserve en
campments with a differential pay
allowance of up to $50.
The Council authorized the Mayor
to sign three repurchase deeds and
one quit claim deed. City Attorney
Jackson explained that the ouit
claim deed resulted after the City
mistakenly foreclosed on some
government property for non-pay
ment of taxes.
City Attorney Jackson also in
formed the Council that since there
had been no negative action taken
by the State Legislature during the
first 45 days of Session, Section 16.
bordering on Peger Road, was now'
formally part of the City by action
of the Local Boundary Commission.

Communication:
Jcssens Weekly
Well spring begins today and it
is high time for those of yon who
want to make your stake to start
figuring ( ut when the ice will move
in the Tanana R'ver at Nenana. Only
18 days left as tickets will not be
sold after midnight April 7th.
The famous million dollar clock
will be on display today at Heinz
Borchards. expert watchmaker and
jeweler a? 503 3rd Ave., Fairbanks,
for those interested in seeing the
8 day wind up clock that will make
some person or persons wealthy.
There is now 46 inches of ice
under the tripod Last year at this
time the ice was only 33 inches
thick, so we have much more ice
and snow than we have had in sev
eral years. According to most of
the old timers I have talked to in
Nenana, these conditions mean a
late breakup.
As manager of the classic, I am go
ing to stick my neck out and pre
dict a late breakup also. I have
been misquoted a time or two by
the press, so I’ll repeat it’s going to
be a late one this year. But don’t
forget. I have been in Nenana since
1922 and have yet to win anything.
