8 o’clock. Mayor Seidenverg pre
siding and all councilimen pre
sent.
The three hour session was well
attended by local citizens whc
were both entertained and en
lightened as the councilmer
swung into action.
After the minutes of the coun
cil meeting of April 26th were
read and approved, City Clerk M
J. Walsh read a batch of com
munications, notable among whi
ch was the withdrawal of Conrad
Xenney as a candidate for Chied
of the Fire Department.
A wire from the Territorial
Liquor Board dated April 30th
was read, stating that the Board
would issue no more liquor lic
enses during rhe remainder of the
present license year which term
inates June 30th.
An application was received
from Tom Cloniger requesting a
retail liquor license for the bal
ance of the year. The city clerk
was instructed to inform Mr,
Cloniger of the message from the
Liquor Board. Mayor Seidenverg
dryly remarked that the Council
coul d not go over the head of
the Liquor Board—that he did
not want a repitition of the diffi
culties of last summer.
A letter from Territorial Treas
urer Olson regarding the appoint
ment of a school tax collector for
the Nome School District was
read. Mayor Seidenverg announ
ced that Mr. M. J. Walsh who has
served in this capacity for the
past six years, declined to serve
again. On motion of Councilman
Rude, E. B. "Duffy” O’Connor
wais selected as the unanimous
choice of the council.
A report of the status quo in
the matter of the Alvich-Keane
lot imbroglio was given by Coun

cussion and a hearing given Mr
and Mrs. Alvich, the council ap
propriated $50 to be applied or

dispute. This concession was
made due to the realization by
the present council of a certain
obligation due certain Nome lot
owners who suffered in the mix
up resulting from the late la
mented fire. Councilnien Tag
gart and Cavey were instructed
to carry on further negotiations
with the respective lot owners.
The proposed Nome School bud
get for the school year of 1937-'38
was submitted by the local school
board and approved by the coum
cil. The total amount of the bud
get is $22,405.00 of which Nome’s
share will be approximately
| $6,200.00, the balance being paid
'by the territorial treasury.
The next order of business was
! the appointment of a fire chief.
W. W. Laws, chief for the past
two years, and Mr. Mid Adams
of Wenatchee, Washington, were
the two applicants. Mr. Adams
has a permanent application on
| file at the City Clerk’s Office.
Chief Laws was unanimously re
appointed to serve as Fire and
Police Chief for the ensuing year,
j The mayor informed the council
j men that under the ordinance
• passed last year it would be nec
i cssary to take up the appoint
! ments of driver and engineer at

time Chief Laws is to submit his
recommendations for the coun
cil’s consideration,

Councilman O’Connor then took
the floor to ask if the annual
April report of the local power
company had been received. Up
on being informed that none had
been received this year or in any
previous year. Councilman O’Con

the Compiled Laws of Alaska.
City Attorney Sullivan was re
quested by the Mayor to read
this section of the Alaska Code to
the assembled council and sure
enough it was there just as Coun
oilman O'Connor quoted it. Af
ter a long discussion involving
the purported power company
franchise which councilman O’
Connor stoutly maintained was
illegal, and concerning which no
one seemed to know much about,
it was decided on motion that
the council request the local pow
