MODERN TRAFFIC REGULATIONS NEEDED IN
NOME WITH ITS MODERN FIRE EQUIPMENT
Now that the City of Nome has done away with
the old and obsolete horse and wagon fire rig, and in its
fclace has one of the latest and most modern auto fire
trucks, it behooves us one and all to turn modern our
selves by adopting some traffic regulations that will
keep automobiles off the street as well as people, and
especially children, (and we might add—dogs) when
the modern fire truck is answering a fire call.
If this is done immediately, we will soon acquire
the habit of making way for the fire department, thus
preventing accidents and delays, and giving the fire
department a chance to get to the scene of fire without
interruption. The following editorial reprinted from
the Juneau Empire of a recent issue, brings to our at
tention that need for similar action must be taken in
Nome, immediately.
“GIVE THE FIREMEN A CHANCE”
“Like the vanished fire horse, there lives in all of
us a desire to be off to the fire when the bell rings. It
doesn’t make much difference whether it’s a false alarm
or a real blaze, most of us want to know instantly,
where, what and why.
“The result, as Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill pointed
out in The Empire recently, is a hindrance to the Fire
Department. Streets become congested. Fire appar
atus often is slowed up in making the run. Firemen are
hampered because they have to clear a lot of persons
out of the way before they can lay a line of hose and get
water on the blaze.
‘Protection of life and property requires prompt
arrival of men and equipment, ’’said Chief Mulvihill.
“In case of fire, the first few minutes count heavily in
keeping it in bounds, saving the building and rescuing
the occupants.”
“All of us are aware of the wisdom of the Chief’s
words. We all know very well the Fire Department
should have the right of way so it can act promptly
when needed. That’s why we have a Fire Department.
Hut the trouble is that most of us fail to think when the
fire bell rings.
"The next time it sounds let’s remember some of
the Chief’s advice. If we are driving a car, let’s pull
into the curb quickly and stop and give the fire equip
ment a clear track. Let's not start pell mell for the fire
as soon as the truck goes by. Members of the Volunteer
Department have been summoned by that bell and it is

just as important that they get to the scene of trouble as
the equipment itself. Let them have the right of way for
a few minues before moving our cars. Then if we do
decide to go to the fire let’s heed the Chief’s request and
not drive within three blocks of the scene of the blaze.
That will give the firemen room to work.
“If we happen to be afoot, let’s stay back out of the
way and give the boys a chance. By so doing we’ll be
helping the fire fighters and at the same time protecting
life and property.
“Juneau has an excellent Fire Department. A little
cooperation on the part of the rest of us when the fire
bell rings by staying out of the way will enable it to
keep up its good record, and the fire damage done.”

Cold Shipments
Vic Estimated
Quarter Million
Gold shipments leaving Nome
for Seattle on the steamer Vic
toria, it is estimated, will run over
a quarter of a million dollars in
gold bullion. While this figure i*s
not authentic the public will
bear with us in our endeavors to
get the right figures. But due to
stringent regulations of the insur
ance companies which insure the
gold, its representatives as well
as the postal and banking con- j
cerns, are in a position where J
they cannot divulge this informa
tion. Who knows but what there |
might be some pirates, some
racketeers or just plain robbers
on the high waves awaiting the
Victoria with its precious gold
cargo—but then again anyone in
a gold mining camp knows how
hard it is to get away or even
pack away gold bullion. In either
case the gold bullion is safe un
less the ship should sink and
then it is still possible to reclaim
it. because it is shipped in heavy
iron cases. In the meantime it
is necessary for Nomeites to
wait until sometime next year
for official reports to be made on
the gold output.
