IGLOO, (A. L. L. Co.)
Seattle, Wash,
Another telegram from the Fuel
Oil Aministrator was read, it was
a reply to a message sent out by the
Mayor and City Clerk, in behalf of
the City Council:.
After copies of all the telegrams
which have been sent out, and those
received, pertaining to the coal and
fuel oil question had been read, and
many questions asked pro and con,
some of the general committee
expressed their oppfnion, and said
they thought the useful function ot
tho sub-committee had expired, and
said committee should be discharg- j
ed. A motion was finally made that
tho sub-committee’s report be re
ceived and placed on file. An am
endment was made. That said sub
committee be discharged. After con-1
siderable discussion the amendment,
was put and ovehwhelmingly lost, j
The Longshoremen’s committee of'
three, and two off the City Council-!
men being the only ones voting
against it. The original motion pre-1
vailed.
After some further discussion, a!
request was mado, that the Sec’yJ
read the copy of the original tele
gram received from the Alaska
Lighterage and Commercial Com
pany. It was read, and then some
very eloquent oratory was delivered,
some cf the committeemen thought
that in all due respect to the afore
said company, an answer should be
given to their telegram, others were
of the opinion that such a thing
was not necessary.
Right at this point, the scribe ex
pected that "famous resolution"
to be resurrected, and introduced,
it was drawn from the inside pocket
of tho chairman of the finance com
miUtee, but, alas! It was only for a
brief moment or two, it was again
gently replaced to where it is at
present resting peacefully, etc., etc.,
A motion was finally made that a
communication be sent to the Alaska
Lighterage and Commercial Com
pany stating that "we (the com
mittees representing the various or
ganizations in Nome) advise you
(the A. L. & C. Co.) to ship in
coal to supply the camp for the en
suing year.” This brought forth
considerable discussion visa-yersa.
After.which a motion was made and <
almost unanimously carried that the
previous motion be laid upon the
table. Settling the question to date,
at any rate, that no answer be giv
en tq the original telegram of the
aforesaid lighterage company.
The Longshoremen’s committee
tendered their resignation, and de
clined to further participate in the
joint eonfeenee meetings which may
convene in the future, to deliberate
in regards to the coal and fuel oil
question. Their resignation was
accepted. A motion was duly pass
ed authorizing the Secretary to fur
nish the press, for publication, copies
of the aforesaid telegrams. The ex
pense account for sending telegrams
and hall rent was read. A repesent
ative of each organization then |
stepped forward and paid his pro- |
portional share, after which a mo-1
tion to adjourn was made and car- ;
ried.
The number of telegrams read at J
yesterday’s meeting, illustrated that
tho citizensof Nome have a very efli- j
cient, and energetic sub-committee, ■
looking out for their interests, in j
matters petaining to the coal, amt j
fuel oil question.
