OX SCHOOL S1TK
Last Monday evening those ol'
Nome who are public spirited en
ough to accept the previous in
vitation of the City Council and
the School Board, attended a
meeting at the City Hall for the
purpose of expressing themselves.
The meeting., was, promptly call
ed to order by Maor Tarnutzcr
who stated its purpose and im
portance, turning same over to
Councilman Hagen as Chairman.
The list of propsed sites that
were presented by the committee
consisted of the following:
1. Present playground site.
2. Rube Cromer's to Church.
3. West or Cliff Allyn's to
Pangman's.
4. Ullrickson’s site.
5. Lots In block 65, adjoining
Tom Lyle’s.
6. Present school site.
7. Site next to City *Hall.
Mr. Hagen called on Mr. Rynn
ing member of the School Board
who then asked Mr. Walsh to give
figures on the various sites. In
reply Mr, Walsh stated that the
site near the present playground
was valued a $3900. Mr. Hagen
then called on various people who
were interested In the following
order:
Judge Gore was called upon and
said that he considered Block 6 5
too far out, as it would impede
the children in going through pro
bable snowdrifts. Mr. T.om Jen
sen thought that people with
ch Idreu should be heard from
and advised that much caution
and care should be used. Charles
Code asked Chief Yenney what
time it look to get water to the
different sites in case of fire, and
chief Yenney stated that it took j
ten m'nutes to the present school, j
three and a half minutes to the j
site adjacent to Cliff Allyn’s, and ]
three and a half to five minutes j
to the present playground.
Capt. T. A. Ross believed that i
the City of Nome should select a i
site worthy of the building, that '
the lots west of the playground
were centrally located w'th less
traffic, less snowdrifts, good drain
age, with the playground close to
• it and the city should find ways
and means of purchasing it.
Mr, Hellerieh suggested that
they should hear from the School
Board first, and the most, import
ant farts could be applied to each
s'te. He thought the lots west
of Allyn’s were favorable, having
the advantages already mentioned
besides costing less than others
might, and was equally attractive.
Mr. Rynning rose and said the
School Board is working w'th the
Council, but this meeting is t’o
hear from the folks of Nome. He
was pleased to see so many in
attendance and wanted them to
voice their opinions on the merits
of the various sites they might
chooae,»,.„3'lie school might con
tain a hall which would be avail
able to the older people as well
as the younger at all times, as
It wondd he warm most of the
time. There could be night class
es, a reading room and sports
for all. The committee had
reached no decls'on as yet. Mr.
Code thought the city should get
the site at the least cost possible
and thereby allow for furnishing
the school with city funds saved.
Mr. Swanberg waa called upon
and stated that t Hough his child
ren grown away from school,
he thought they should get a site
centrally located, front It on the
south or east and have a good
sized playground. The present
school building could be sold for
15,000 or $10,000. Mr. Grey
then called on 'Cliff Allyn for
comments.
Cliff Allyn said that he was in
favor of the site adjacent to his
property and gave the follow
ing reasons: There is little
fire risk In Its being away from
other buildings. It is handy for
water and traffic is lessened at
least ^one half. By tearing down
a lot of buildings much future in
come to the city would be thrown
away. it is not- necessary to
spend a great deal of money on
the site, and money wfll.be need
ed to eQulp the building. Professor
Beck, when called upon, said that
Cliff .*l!yn had voiced his sen •
n • rts very well . Therp are only
• uo n a sites to be cinsiderd, th*
present playground and 'be o-m
w st . Allyn’s. The building
could be used as a civic cented
i it cl a b.seb'tl! ground sV.t.ld 10
! provided. • , • .
Mr. Wfilsh then discussed the
the city finances in deta'l, $3,200
was .added to Its expenses this
year for a new foundation to the
school, other improvemnfs and re
pairs. and some CWA expense
for miscellaneous material. The
city also purchased some lots west
of the city hall. The ' treasury
will not be able to meet its ob
ligation to the School Board. A
wire from Mr. Karnes, who dis
putes the $50,000 gift from the
government, was read and advis
ed that no part of the money can
be applied to the site or the fur
nishing of the school; that the
money was to be used Unly for
the school building and its heat
ing plant. Charlie Jones then
gave the opinion that we should
not have a shell with nothing in
It, as was the case with the Gov
ernment Detention Hospital some
years ago. A site should be
found at the least cost, but which
will be suitable for a school build
ing.
Mr. Hartford stated that financ
es controlled the entire project,
and although the site in back of
Babe Seklenverg’s home might al
so be considered, he favored the
present playground site as the
most- central location.
Bev. McCay was Of the opinion
that the building of this new
school would settle the education
al env'ronment of Nome for a
long time to come and was there
fore prejudiced in favor of the
present playground site also on
account of its central location.
Also the roads are always open,
and now that they have recently
finished the government school,
particular attention should be
given to that of the Territory.
Adult education is just as import
ant as child education and provi
sion should be made for classes
from kindergarden clear through
to night school. If people \v;l!
play together they will fatso work
thgether, and - there should, 'ho

most favorable, hut that' it was

and Mr, Cud . staled that Fair
banks built one of concrete for
$90,000. Cliff Allyn said that
all the commissioners have sf’d
that Nome has the poorest school
in Alaska and that Wrangell had
built one of ^concrete for a little
over $40,000. In answer to Mr.
Yenney’s question of what it costs
to build the native school, Mr.
Buckley replied that the $20,000
which had been appropriated had
been sufficient but he had not fin
ished h’s job. He thought the
new school could be built for $50.
000
Mr. Rynnlng made It Clear that
the old bu'lding Is a racked and
loose one, leaning one toot west
ward with a twist from east to
west, having been condemned by
the last three Comm’ssioners of
Education. A new one could be
built from the money allotted, but
it was a question of whether it
would be adequate to Nome’s
needs. Mr. Ruckley a(ld?d that
the old building never was * a
school, was nothin? but a bar
racks, and should have been torn
down completely and rebuilt.
Dr. Swartz was called upon and
stated that the meeting had con
fined Itself to two locat'ons: the
■present playground site and All
• I
I
ivii's but th.p financial situation
J could not be forgotten. Hep.
Scott and Mr Johansen were rati
led on and respecttvellju* indicated
their favor for the site west of
thci, playground.
Mr. Rynning then suggested
sonic advantages of the site inti;
the City Hall, emphasizing the
sanitation, water-supply and plumb
ing advantages that this location
offer* over any of the others. In1
answer to Cliff Allyan’s queston
.as to whether the city could close
the street hi front of this location
City Attorney Sullivan answered
that complications would probably
arise.
Mayor Tarnutzer then made
some suggestions in favor of the
play ground site having good sew
er facilities? Are protection, plenty
of room, with the probability of
trails be'ng open, saying that Mr
Poison had agreed to move fi’is
house to another of his lots. Mr.
Bahlke made a statement to th£
effect that the playground site
was not deep enough and he that
the better place was between A11
yn’s and Pangman's,
Mr. Balsinger was called upon
and he believed the playground
site to be too small; and since
the tw6 sites are located nearly
the same w'th their corners meet
ing, is in favor of that west of
Allyn's because it is larger and
is much cheaper.
Mrs. Harry LrOmen felt that the
city should put the school where
it is eas'est and best for the
children. Mrs. Keene maintained
that the drainage is one of the
most important factors.
In conclusion. Jack Stangroom
suggested that the matter be left
in the hands of the City Council
and the School Board as it had
been pretty well discussed . The
meet'ng adjourned with the sat
isfaction expressed by most that
it was very worthwhile and inter
esting. and it is expected the City
Council will investigate further
with the School Board and take
the most suitable plan agreed up
on before the regular meeting of
the Council next Monday evening
