SIDEWALKS TO BE MADE UNIFORM
ri _
Now that numerous buildings have been constructed
and many business firms are planning on moving into their
new quarters in the near future, within the burned area,
the question of sidewalks brings a problem before the busi
ness people.
B. D. Stewart has surveyed the streets and lots in the
business district and for purposes of obtaining a Public
Works Administration Loan, a grade must be established.
The level on the streets-has been determined and a
grade set for the sidewalks. Several business people are
planning on building their own sidewalks, and others are
waiting for the time when municipal work is done.
Mr. Stewart has advised several of those who are plan
ning on building their sidewalks of the proper level. At
this time it would be desireable for anyone contemplating
building sidewalks in the business district, to consult Mr.
Stewart and gain the desired information regarding this pro
ject.
If the sidewalks are not elevated properly and are not
in the same plane as the ones to be constructed later, the ap
pearances and result will be very unsatisfactory. No one
wants to go back to the days before the fire, when almost
every business house had a sidewalk on a different level
than his neighbor.
That would not be progress and the conveniences and
safety to be derived from a uniform height would far out
distance individual construction without the information as
to the proper height and width.
What the City of Nome wants to do is to make their
new business district both practical and of pleasing appear
ance. So, before building your private sidewalks investi
gate and find out what height above the street level your
sidewalk should be.
If President Roosevelt is determined to make the CCC
in some form, or another permanent, and apparently he is,
he probably will encounter little difficulty in obtaining ap
proval of Congress. Those who were skeptical at the start as
well as those who openly ridiculed the idea in congress have
remained to become convinced of its effectiveness. In all
probability the President can write his own ticket as far as
senators and representatives are concerned.

“DON’T TRY TO PROVE THAT THE MAN WITH A NEW
IDEA IS WRONG. HELP HIM PROVE HE IS RIGHT.”
.The old saying: “Adversity Makes Us All Akin”, was
never more vividly exemplified than during and since the
calamity experienced by Nome’s citizenry just a few short
weeks ago.
At the height of the conflagration, when the fire demon
was devouring everything in sight, everyone forgot past diff
erences as well as personal safety and gave his efforts and
strength for the assistance and protection of his neighbor.
What an ideal city Nome will build into if this consid
erate spirit is perpetuated. It can be. It is simply a
community demonstration of the old “GOLDEN RULE”.
If there were no better or higher reward offered for such a
utopia, the advertisement in itself would be profitable for
Nome would soon become known and famous as “THE
MODEL CITY”, and it moral credit fixed at the highest rating.
