CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS PUBLIC
ATTENTION BONDING ELECTION
At the regular meeting of the Nome City Council last
evening, councilmen, and city officials discussed the import
ance of the pending city bond election, to take place next
Tuesday, July 16th. Their attention was forcibly attracted
to the lack of interest and apparent disregard of the import
ance of securing a full expression of those qualified to vote.
Property owners whose names appear on the last prev
ious assessment role, for purposes of municipal taxation, are
qualified to vote, and their vote is urgently requested. As
a matter of civic betterment and progressiveness, it is their
duty to register and cast their ballot on the bonding issue.
The greatest possible representation is imperative—
and by registering you will be assisting in the work of mak
ing it possible to begin the actual start on the PWA pro
jects for the City of Nome.
It is claimed that the mosquitoes in Matanuska are so
tough that they wear six-shooters. Anything in it ?
Modern advertising has enabled the average man to
live with more bodily comfort than royalty of a former era.
If it comes to the worst the budget might be balanced
by charging admission to the Senate whenever Hooie Long
performs. (We should get paid for this idea.)

Department Cost
Of A Fire Siren
(By The Associated Press)
SAYVILLE, Long Island, July 8,
—Even if there is no fire depart
ment any more in the hamlet of
Great North River they'll be able
to turn on their $180 siren good and
loud the next time a blaze comes.
The equipment—two model T
Fords: a Packard truck; helmets,
axes, hose and a stray uniform—w'as
knocked down for $53.50 at an auc
tion today. The sale was forced by
the manufacturers of the siren who
attached the whole fire department
to compensate for the unpaid shriek
er. Villagers tonight debaited the
disadvantage of a siren to combat a
fire.

(By The Associated Press)
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 8, —J.
J. Bernet age sixty-seven. President
of the Chesapeake and Ohio, and
Pere Marquette railroads, died here
today after a brief illness. He suff
ered a nervous breakdown, recently.
“My husband is Scotch,, aL’d lovea
to read,” writes a Boston Globe read
er. “One evening I was very .lone
ly; he did not notice me all day. 1
drew up a stool by his side, and si’t
there lovingly stroking his knee.^
hoping he would notice me. He put
his finger on the word in the book,
lest he lose his place, and looking
down at his knee, exclaimed:
“ ‘Gee, those pants wore well, J
didn’t they!’ ”
