Against Jones Are
Refused Council
Charges of conduct unbe
coming an officer of the city
of Nome, and incompetence

against George Jones, were
taken up at a special meeting
called by the Mayor at the
instance of Councilmen Polet
and Seidenverg, and held at
the office of City Attorney
Leroy M. Sullivan, at 7:30
last evening.
Chairman Hagen of the Fire
Committee, yesterday instru
cted Chief Laws of the Fire
Department, to ask for the
resignation of Driver Jones,
but Mr. Jones contested his
right to relieve him from the
position. Councilman Polet,
the other member of the Fire

Mr. Hagen and in order that
the question might be settled,
a special meeting was held.
At the meeting Mr. Jones
was present to defend him
self. Chairman Hagen voic
ed his reasons for wishing Mr
Jones’ resignation. Commit
tee member Polet stated his
side of the case and then Mr.
Jones had an opportunity to
refute any of the charges
made against him, objecting
strenuously to being removed
on any of the causes made by
Chairman Hagen.

and the opinion of Chief
Laws was asked for, but he
stated, in as much as the coun
cil had the privilege of hiring
and firing, he was in no posi
tion to take up the matter
which was entirely out of his
hands.
Mayor Swartz commented
on the fact that such an affair
was brought before a special
meeting of the council, and
stated, he hoped that in the
future, the committees having
power to act over municipal
affairs take particular pains
to avert any reoccurance of
this type of controversy, if
possible.
It was stated in discussion
that considerable ill feeling
and misunderstandings some
times arose by the fact that
visitors at the fire hall privi

ment to the rear of the hall
and talking over controvers

duties.
Chief Laws stated that in
the future he would permit
no such infractions of disci
pline.
Following the general dis
cussion on the issue, which at
various times threatened to
embroil the reputed question
of the ownership of the new
city horse team, and other
digressions into apparent grie
vances, a motion was made
by Councilman Hagen, second
ed by Councilman Sather,
that Mr. Jones’ resignation be
asked for. Upon vote the mo
tion failed and the meeting
was adjourned.
