The Health and Relief Commit
tee, Chas. Cavey chairman, re
ported there was lots of sickness
throughout the city, due princip
ally to the inclement weather, &
frequent changes in temperature
which have made January an out
standing month in recent years.
The subject of a new addition
to the Nome Public School came
up again Monday night and after
considerable pro and con discus
sion the council took action au
thorizing the mayor to write to
members of the Second Division
delegation to the Territorial Leg
islature, asking them to introduce
a bill to appropriate $10,000 to
defray the cost of construction of
I
the proposed addition, which was
to be used, it was said, for stor
age space, class rooms and voca
tional space.
The mayor reported a confer
ence with J. D. Harlan, manager
of the Hammon Company, prior
to his departure from Some by
plane, on the subject of the Nome
fire department, in which Mr.
Harlan was reported to have de
plored the inefficient services, of
department, mains and personnel,
and that such a condition placed
I in danger his company’s build
j ings and property. It was also
reported, that while his company
may consider construction of
other buildings, such would take
place outside of the city limits if
more efficient insurance against
fire was not forthcoming through
the city fire department. Mem
bers of the council commented
variously on this subject and took
up the question of testing of fire
i
mains and at regularly stated in
I tervals.
i The council then adjourned.
