The publication today of a new
City Ordinance, namely: Ordinance
No. 265, requiring a license to be
obtained by all operators of mo
tor vehicles in the City of Nome
marks one more step forward in
the advancement of proper regu
lations concerning motor traffic
and civic administration.
For some time past it has been
noticed that all and sundry per
sons, from the ages of eight years
on up to eighty, have been driving
cars, when, without a donbt, It is
apparent that some of them are
not only a serious danger to them
selves but to other drivers of ears,
and pedestrians.
The City Council of Nome at its
last session last Monday passed
this ordinance requiring all per
sons dirving motor vehicles to be
in the possession of a drivers li
cense. The age limit, which was
discussed to some extent1!, was
finally set at 15 years. No person
9
under the age of 15 years shall he
issued a license to operate a mo
tor vehicle, and a penalty was set
for those who attempt to do so.
Between .the ages of 15 and 18
years, a license may he issued pro
viding the parent*’ consent has
been made, and the approval of
the Chief of Police is recorded. All
persons above the age of 18 years
may make application for license
and if so approved will be issued

one, following he payment of a
J1.00 license fee.
This ordinance in our belief
will do much toward clearing up
the traffic situation which has In
many respects become a menace
or rather a danger to life and
property. During the past year
several children driving cars have
either turned over in them or
have struck objects. Only sheer
luck has brought them out. of
some of these crashes alive, and
without being injured.
Tn other respects, the license
will serve as another power.
I
Should to many traffic violations
occur an operator is subject to the
voiding of his license and payment
of a fine, if caught driving a car
without a license.
Certain traffic regulations, we
|feel certain, will be more strict
ly observed, and more strictly en
forced, now that every operator is
required to have a license.
(Application for, and license
cards are available at the City
Clerk's office. The iaw requires
the publication of such an ordi
nance once in the local paper. It
shall become effective two days
following publication. That or
dinance appears in this issue ot
the Nome Nugget. Read it and
then act acordingly if you wish
to continue driving without be3ng
subject to a felony.
A few more real, constructive
bits of civic administartion such
as this one is. will do much to
ward placing Nome in a better
light. The active admlnlstartlon
of civic affairs will certainly bring
forward the approval and Inter
est of the citizens of this city.
There are many points of actual
interest with which the City Coun
cil! Is concerning itself. Further
advancements along these 'lues
are anticipated and it is the Jr tv
of evetjf citiaen to t«ke an t-*ei
est m the manage nent of their
cii\ and town.
