With tentative approval to proceed
received through proper federal
channels, the city’s street graveling
project is near commencement.
Details of plans are almost com
pleted according to the present est
mate, and work is expected to com
mence on the graveling of the streets
probably Saturday, said one report.
Alaska Road Commission equip
ment and organization is to be used
and efforts are being made to make
it possible for privately owned grav
el trucks to be employed.
With the above prospects lined up
and ready to begin, there is a not
iceable difference in feeling around
Nome, which during the past sever
al months has seen little activity in
the city itself, due to the many de
tails and time required to accom
plish the act of fulfilling PWA re
gulations and starting on the several
projects laid out for rehabilitation
of city functions, made necessary by
the fire of last September.
The M. S. Meteor, coastwise mail
boat, arrived at Nome early last
