CITY COUNCIL MET ON A. B. s
LOT PROPOSAL LAST NIGHT
(Continued From Page One)
there was some other way
to help the A.B's that the
sum of not over five hun
dred dollars should be con
sidered.
City Attorney Sullivan
was asked to state details
in reference to the trans
fer of the A. B. lot by the
directors, the essence of
which were: the property
was sigend over to Trustee
J. S. Stangroom by the pro
perty owners as their agent
and not the city. That Stan
groom was acting for the
FERA (Federal Emergen
cy Relief Administration,
Nome committee) in an ef
fort to re-lay the burned
section, make blocks and
streets more uniform, in
which the property owners
in the burned district fav
ored and later voted in fa

After the reallocation of
the property the trustee
turned over to the property
owners and city certain
property which was made
of record. It was the city
attorney’s legal advice that
the city legally did not owe
the A.B.’s anything, but
morally believed that the
city should attempt to help
them in their efforts to ob

It developed as the meet

B.’s as an organization had
not held a regular meeting
since before the fire, but
that several members had
gathered together and talk

taining a site for a hall and
club room and appointed a
committee from among
themselves to take up the
matter with the council to
see what could be done.
As different members of
the A.B.’s talked on the
matter it was seen that they
were not of one accord as
to the location of the site
and that their committee
lacked authority to legally
handle the matter.
Councilman Sather wish
ed it understood that he
was not in favor of the city
paying out $1,500 for a lot
for the organization. He
said he was the Arctic Chief
at the time of the fire, and
was still holding that offi
ce and that no regular
meeting had been called
for such purpose to his
