Attempt Permission
Bid For Fire Mains
Emergency in Nome
At the city council meeting last
evening Mayor Swartz brought up
the subject of obtaining the neces
sary materials for the installation of
the fire mains in time for work to
be started as soon as authority is
granted.
Due to the fact that the latest
sailingin August is on the 14th
and that there will not be another
boat leaving until sometime in Sep
tember, is was thought advisable by
the council to request from the PW
A authorities permission to adver
tise for bids on this material and

In order for this to be done, it will
be necessary to advise the PWA of
ficials that an emergency exists,
which is serious in every respect.
The present mains, according to the
reports available, are in bad shape
and their efficiency is decreasing
rapidly. If the material for the new
mains is not received on the August
14th sailing it will put off the work
until fall when costs will be doubled
and the likelihood that it may not
be installed this year.
PWA Project Engineer Steere is
preparing the telegram requesting
: permission to proceed with the ad
vertising for bids independent of
the PWA and have the materials
shipped to Nome on the sailing men
tioned, the costs to be paid later out
of the PWA funds. This permis
sion if received will assure of this
project being worked on this sum
mer if authority comes through from
Washington, on the Nome loan and
grant agreement.

The Fire Department was called to
the corner of B Street and First Av
enue about 6:30 P. M. yesterday,
where fire had broken out on the
roof of the house under construc
tion by Mr. and Mrs. Karl Bale.
The cause of the fire, said the re
port, was due to a leaky gasoline
heater on which tar was being melt
ed and made ready for spreading.
No damage was done by the fire at
all. The department extinguished
the gasoline blaze by the use of the
chemical.

Eckberg representing the Cork In
sulation Co., Inc., which is con
structing the cork and steel build
ing for the M. & M. Bank, attributed
the fortunate lack of damage to the
fire-resisting qualities of the cork
insulation which is a feature of the
building being constructed by Bale.
The fire department’s work in ex
tinguishing the fire prevented any
spread, but the cork on the roof and
walls showed no sign of having been
1 afire.
The gasoline and tar was spilled
all over the roof and was blazing
flercev, but due to this fine product
neither the roof nor the walls of the
building caught fire. Later in the
evening, the crew which is work
ing on the Bank building for the
Cork Insulation Co. Inc., proceeded
to the new building and laid the
tar roofing and paper, finishing ear
ly this morning.,
The plans for the Bale building,
which is to be a bath house, were
furnished by the company and they
are indeed pleased to see how their
product withstood the cllects of gas
oline and tar flames.
