NOME HARBOR WORK
IS UNDER WAY
Supt. E. Bauer of the U. S. En
gineers, who lately returned fron
a winter in the States, hais start
ed the Nome harbor season activ
ities. Repairs of gear and equip
ment is now underway, a crew of
seven men being employed. A
notable feature of this work i;
the new color scheme for all its
floating equipment including tow
boat, dredge and barges. This
equipment is being repainted tc
change the color scheme front
the standard battleship grey to ;
combination of cream for houS'
ings, buff for all maists. black fot
hulls and rod for the trim. Th<
idea in mind being to brinj
about a more vivid and distinc
tive appearance, thus making i
easier for incoming and out-goinf
vessels to sight the dredginj
fleet.
The program contemplated ioi
this season's operations include:
repairs to the damaged East jettj
and refaeting the north revet
ment with steel at the old site o:
the city dock, also the extensior
of the north revetment into thi
Dry Creek basin.
The dredging operations wil
be conducted to a depth of eigh
feet at low tide, including dredg
ing to enlarge the present Dr;
Creek basin up to the Belmon
Point foot bridge. Mr. Baue
states that the tide guage <used ii
former years, and which was lov
ered by .8 of a foot in 1926, i
again to be lowered, this time b;
one foot. This means that guag
readings from now on will indi
cate depth of water in referrenc
to mean lower low water, or ii
other words the dredging in th
future will be to a depth lowe
by 1.8 feet than the scale se
prior to 1926.

RULERS TOUR POOR
AREAS OF LONDON
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, May 14—Smiling and
rested from the coronation exer
cises King George VI and Queen
Elizabeth drove through the
streets f North London in a sur
prise post-coronation tour. A
closed automobile, bearing their
majesties left Buckingham Pal
ace shortly after noon. Word
soon spread ahead of them. Half
; an hour before they arrived in
the streets of the poorer, work
ing class district, the thorough
fares were jammed with thous
, ands of men, women and child
ren. Hundreds of the children
■
waved flags. The progress of the
sovereigns through the crowded
streets was so slow that they
,; were late for an afternoon ap
' pointment in the palace.
.Many Public Engagements
For the rest of the month al
most daily, the King and Queen
are scheduled to make public ap
i pea ranees at some sort of func
tions. However, there will be a
: two-day break this week in the
,' royal program.
