MUCH BUSINESS IS UCNE
AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING
All ccuncilmen barring Hugh
O’Farrell met in the Clerk’s office
last night to hold their regular
gathering with Mayor Lomen pre
■siddng.
The reading of the minutes of the
preceding meeting having been ap
proved as rer.d, the clerk proceeded
to read some necessary requisitions
for the various departments of the
municipal government. W. R. Hays
had a communication whereby he
tried to put over an important deal
In Nome real estate offering fifteen
live dollars for a lot and half of
this active reality. The Union Con
struction Cc notified the Council
that the Western Gas Engine had
agreed to supply F. O. B. at Lc3
Angeles a new engine cylinder to re
place the defective ore now in use.
They would also agree that the city
might keep the defective, article so
that it could be available in ease
of necessity.
A long communication was read
from the Director of Public Service
in Juneau. He wanted to know if
there was a shortage or a sur
plus of men in this section, wliat
industries if any were wanting men
and. what means were suggested for
handling the situation. He also de
sired to know where as a rule the
industries here get their labor supply
from.
The report of the city treasurer
showed that there was a balance
of $716.42 to the credit of the city.
The cleik’s statement however
showed that this balance was high
er and the actual cash available
$1023.02. Owing totlie rapidity of
tli - reading of the reports the re
porter was unable to follow the ex
planation of this discrepancy.
Dr Neuman reported having se
lected a point for future garbage
dumping outside the city limits on
the Sandspit which would be a love
ly place for that purpose.
Upon motion duly passect it was
rc.vo'vcd that the oflico of pound
master be abandoned ar.d that the
present official be asked to kill all
dogs which had been advertised
nine days and to turn over the keys
to tile city clerk the job being com
pleted.
Councilman Kricek, protested
against further waste of money in
buying gasoline for the city’s engine
when distillate would, do just as
well. The mayor referred the mat
ter to the fire committee.
John A Wilsr.n who had been in
vited to be present so that the city
might discuss the erection of a
bridge across Snake River with a
representative of the Territorial
Road Commission, said that he had
been over the situation and while he
recognized, that a bridge cr ferry
were needed, he reminded them that
it was obligatory upon the city to
function in the capacity of supply
ing the needed crossing. He recog
nez d that the city was not fir.an- j
cially capable of taking care of the]
matter but what of the contract
to have bridges roads streets etc
taken care of?
Mayor Lemon said that the view
they took of the matter was that
it was really a service for non-city
residents than for residents within
the city limits.
After further discussion, it was
agreed to formally ask the Div
sional Road Commission to erect a
ferry across Snake river.
A committee consisting of Hanson,
Stadie and Kricck was appointed
to investigate and rep' rt on the
questions asked by the director of
the Public Service as to the local
Industrial situation. “You will in
terview labor unions and mine oper
ators and report, back to the meet
ing” said the Mayor in final instruc
tions.
At this time .an uninitiated view
might have been Inclined to
think that the council resolved it
self into a session between Council
man Milot and an audience, due
no doubt to the retiring nature of
the rest and the enormous routine
business that Mr Mile- hurt before
the body. Having disposed of these
minor matters tile clerk was directed
to display the Honor Flag granted
til • city, the Mayor ebullient with
eloquence, dwelling upon the aid
rendered by Council, Candle and
Fortuna Ledge and suggested that
smaller flags be made and given
those places by the city of Nome.
Those proceedings being concluded
the council adjourned.
NEWS NOTES
The power schooner Silver Wave
completely overhauled and improved
looking like a steam yacht start d
off on her first trip of the season for
Wales and way points. Among the
passengers are Long Swing, Joe
Vezetti, II S Whittard, Wm O'Brien,
A Rice and G C Mahle. The latter
had a full crew for the dredge up
north but they hacked down over the
12 hour schedule proposed and he
had to leave without them.
It is said to be the intention of
some Dimo operators who object
to the wage scale as set by the
Dime creek miners to endeavor to
bring same men down to Dime
creek to work on a small scale, and
by representing that there is a
shortago of men. There is no short
age of workers in Dime creek at all
and. men going there to work will
go there as trike breakers if they
accept smaller pay, than that de
manded by the miners of Dime.
Council advises that the strike
situation there notwithstanding the
efforts to induce the men to work
remains the same and insufficient
help is procurable. Three men who
could not be held any longer by
the false statement that the Nome
miners returned to work came into
the town yesterday. In Nome the
situation is steadily improving. One
dredging outfit has started up with j
a full quota of union men and the!
eight hour day. One hydraulic j
mining outfit and several smaller
cutfits started up with the eight
hour day men and union crews.'
Several more will follow in a (lay or
so. Kougarok miners have guar
anteed t^at what help will he hired
Will he union men and the eight
iiour day. Dredge ope-alors are
holding out against this. An in
teresting fact is the statement of
one operator that he had wired
out for instructions because of his
inability to got men to work and
if these are favorable he will work
the eight hour day, if not that ho
will not try to operate this season.
Candid vt.es for the legislature are
; xpected to make announcement as
to the eight hour day and the in
troduction immediately the legisla
ture convenes of a law which will
stand, the test of the courts. In the
meantime the unions will stand pat
on the oc anemic field. The solid
arity of the dredge employees is
inspiring.
The Sea Woif, owned by Com
modore Wittenberg, set sail this
morning wiih a. crcvr of men for
Siberia. The Commodore himself is
in command.
John Felkel the well known trader
is going to make a trip on the power
schooner Jewel Guard for St Law
rence Island, combining trading
with walrus hunting. Although ice
conditions as reported, are not fav
orable, they believe that by the
time they get away an improvement
will have taken place.
