(Continued From Page Ono)
Are horses for the most money
that can be realized, thereby re
lieving the city of an expense
which has run on since the instal
Jation of the new motor truck,
whqn the horses were dispensed
with.
Another piece of equipment
which has been both an eye-eore
• •
and a continued expense to the
city heard its death-knell sound
ed at last night’s meeting, when
the council voted to sell the city
dump truck for as much as could
be realized. Strange to relate, it
was only through determined ef
forts that a former council some
12 years ago, purchased the truck
It has served the needs of the
city, and has now become more
of an expense than warrants its
keep. The purchase of another
dump truck was discussed, and
will probably be taken up later.
The proposed new Traffic Ordi
nance was discussed last night by
the council, and instructions giv
en the city attorney to prepare it
in final form for introduction and
passage at a subsequent meeting.
The ordinance is very complete
in detail and will require careful
study of the driving public when
it is placed into effect.
The deed for the old school
building has been prepared. City
Clerk Walsh announced, and ii
awaiting action of the Indepen
dent Order of Odd Fellows, whi
ch organization offered $2,000 for
the building, and which offer was
accepted bvv the council and a
I
referendum vote of the citizens
, of Nome taken.
i The offer of John Strock of $10
: for lot 1 in block 55 was accepted
! by the council.
I The offer of “Fancy Andy” An
j derson of $5j00 for lot 43 in block
j 12 was rejected by the council,
j The offer of $15.00 for the west
i 25 feet of lot 12 in block 13, by
W. W. Laws, was accepted by1

Coast Guard Cutter Duane, and:
his executive officer to a lunch- j
eon ashore, upon the arrival of
the cutter from the south, prob- j
