- . ,
At the regular meeting of the
Common (sounoil of the City of j
Nome, last Monday evening, sev- !
oral progressive and worthy sug
gestions were made regarding mat-,
ters of civic bettenmenit.
The meeting was called to- or*
der by Mayor Svrartz with all coiut
cil-men present except councilman
Poison, and city attorney Sullivan
acting as clerk.
After the disposal of regular,
routine affaire, and the ordering
of payment of accounts and claims
against the city, new business was
taken op.
A reorganization of a traffic
ordinance was suggested and re
ferred to the committee on ordin
ances and printing. It was sug
gested that the pTesent ordinance
be changed to allow tor any traf
fic officer witnessing the viola
tion of a traffic ordinance, that
«
a 11 that would be necessary, would
lie to got tile license number of
;be car and then 'race the owner
to account l'«>r the violation. In
tlie i nse the owner was not driv
ing the car at the time, it was
suggested that ho he held respon
sible until the driver was ascertain
ed and brought to answer the
charge..This chauge would do away
with the provision which requires
the recognition of the driver of
the car.
Auother matter brought up at
the same time was that all op
erators of motor vehicles should
be licensed, some nominal fee be
ing charged, and a competent per
»o being placed in charge of is
suing the driving permits.
We believe this to be a very
good suggestion, as It would re
move the danger of careless and
Inconupeteni drivers, running around
town with a risk to lUe and pro
perty. It was also suggested that
an age limit he set, so that young?
