lotment may be forthcoming from

And Whereas the said “Plan No.
1” contains only necessary and es
sential facilities, even as of the time
it was prepared which was prior to
the fire of September 17, 1934; it is
now mandatory that the new school
building have all of those facilities
and features, especially the gymna
sium since the destruction of all
the public and fraternal halls in the
City.
And Whereas the fire of Septem
ber 17, 1934, destroyed nearly all of
the municipal facilities and business
area of the City, and to rehabilit
ate will impose as great a burden
upon the City and the tax payers
therein as can be undertaken.
Now Therefore the Common Coun
cil of the City of Nome, Alaska, and
through it the citizens thereof, res
pectfully urges and requests that the
Territorial Legislature in its 12th
Regular Session now assembled, do
forthwith have introduced and pass
ed and act whereby will be appro
priated from the public moneys of
the Territory of Alaska the sum of
$25,000 to the City of Nome for use
in constructing a Public School
building of a size and kind as need
ed and required.
