Council Took
Up Leaking In
New School Gym
Lack of a quorum Monday night
held up the convening of the city
council for nearly half an hour,
and finally the Chief of Police
was dispatched for Councilman
O'Connor. However, he put in
his appearance about ten minu
tes later, not having seen the
Chief, who looked in later to dis
cover the missing councilman
was present.
The reading of the minutes was
dispensed with by motion and
bills were read, approved and or
dered paid.,
A report was received from a
special committee appointed to
investigate the condition of the
roof of the gymnasium of the
new school building and determ
ine the causing of considerable
water dripping through on to the
floor of the gym. The committee
consisted of H. F. Paterson, Duffy
O’Connor and Robert E. Lyle.
Their report declared that con
densation was the cause and not
that the roof itself leaked. The
report recommended battening
over all seams in the gym ceiling
to prevent the heat from the
building getting into the attic,
thereby eliminating the cause of
the condensation of frost which
forms when extremely cold wea
ther is experienced. The coun
cil discussed the problem for
some time, President of the
School Board, Aimer Rydeen tak
ing part in the discussion. The
council then voted approval of
work to batten up the seams.
A copy of a letter to Attorney
General Truitt of the Territory of
Alaska from Harry Saito was
read, which requested the attor
ney general to take up the matter
of the refusal of the Nome city
council to grant approval to an
application which he had made
far a restaurant liquor license.
The letter went into mnay alleg
ed injustices and points of policy
in which the city council was
charged with not being fair in
denying him approval. The let
ter also stated Saito was going
to take up the matter with the
Japanese Consul in Seattle, who
was to be requested to take it up
with the Japanese Ambassador
in Washington, D. C.
A letter from the Bardon, Ore
gon Fire Department was read
which asked the Chief of the
Nome Fire Department to pass
the hat, obtain some monetary
contributions and foreward to
Bandon, Oregon, to help the de
partment there build a shelter
for its equipment. The letter re

Help Us to Help Others
At the meetirite of the Executive
Committee of the Red Cross, held
in Nome Monday evening, it was
decided to immediately launch a
drive for funds for the flood suf
ferers, the six members of the
Committee taking on the job of
I soliciting. The town was there
| fore divided among the six mem
bers of the Executive Committee,
and -soliciting began Tuesday
morning.
The local Committee felt assur
ed of raising the amount asked
for, until the following telegram
was received, this morning:
San Francisco, Calif., Jan. 26
C.V THORNTON, chairman of
Nome Chapter American Red
Cross, Nome, Alaska.
Flood suffering has already
reached unprecedented propor
tions with relief needs steadily
mounting. Under these conditions
it is impossible now to name
final goal for funds. The only
goal of Red Cross help must be
maximum generosity of Ameri
can people. Every possible mem
ber of the National Red Cross
staff is now assigned to the field
for relief duty. I call upon all
Chapters to assume full initiative
in their respective jurisdictions
and mobilize every community,
its resource of personnel and or
ganization, to raise promptly the
largest possible amount. Report
daily the amount raised, to San
Francisco office. Four your infor
mation in view of present known
needs your goal should be not
less than five times the quota or-1
iginally assigned you.
CARY T. GRAYSON,
Chairman
It is desired and intended that
everybody be given an opportun
■ ity to help in this great national
I emergency, it was stated by local
Red Cross officials. If anybody
happens to be overlooked by the
solicitors, he may hand his con
tribution to any one of the follow
ing: Miss Emily Morgan, Mrs.
A. M. Hartford, L. M. Sullivan,
M. J. Walsh, A. F Wright, C. W.
Thornton.

Women’s Games
Since the unexpected change in
schedule for the indoor baseball
games, for tonight, much com
ment has been heard and interest
in the women’s games which will
be played at the school gym to
night, has increased many fold.
Four women’s teams take the
floor tonight, commencing at 8
pm., and unusually large crowds
are expected to turn out, to see
them in action for the first time I
this year. Good spirited rivalry
has existed during their many
practice sessions, and the games
should be both exciting and close.
