Meeting Notes
Armory Floor
The new hardwood floor has
been completed at the Alaska Na
tional Guard Armory, it was re
ported to the City Council Monday
evening by Maj. Robert Steele of
the Nome Armory Board and now
backboards and bleachers are

leyball courts can be used.
Since the Armory was improved
for the purpose of community use,
the Nome Armory Board felt that
the funds should come from a local
source for these needed accessories.
As two civic groups are already
working on some plan to raise
funds for the backboards, namely
the Jaycees and the Nome Basket
ball League, no action was taken
by the Council.
