City Plans to ‘Take’
Anderson Property
The Nome City Council, meeting
in special session last Friday eve
ning, instructed the City Attorney
to prepare papers for the Declara
tion of Taking of the Anderson
property located ai the corner of
Front and Bering Streets. The
meeting had been set up to confer
with the board of directors of
the Covenant Church, owners of
the property in question, to nego
tiate the difference between the
asking price of $3,000 and the
City’s offer of $1,500.
Following is a letter from Mayor
Don Hoover to the board of the
Covenant Church, informing them
of the City' action:
June 2, 1962
Mr. James Oksoktaruk, Chairman
Board of Directors
Nome Covenant Church
Dear Mr. Okstoktaruk:
As you were notified at the reg
ular Nome Common Council
meeting on May 28, 1962, the Coun
cil held a special meeting at 7:30
p.m. in the council chamber on
June 1, 1962 for the purpose of
I consideration of disposition of the
East 22 feet of Lot 22, Block 21
of Nome Townsite.
A committee of the Council had
discussed this matter with your
board on occasions prior to this
time regarding the purchase of this
property by the City of Nome from
the Covenant Church. The City
of Nome made a firm offer to pur
chase in the amount of $1,500 plus
the City assuming the cost and
responsibility of moving the resi
dence on the property in the ques
tion. The City has been quoted a
cost of $500 to $700 for the mov
ing of the building, making the
total offer of the City in the amount
of $2,000 to $2,200 and possibly
higher. As you are aware, the pur
pose of the City in acquiring this
property is to widen “B” Street
at this point to coincide with the
width of the rest of the street,
remove an obstacle to proper traffic
flow on that corner, and to get
this accomplished prior to the pro
posed new paving to be done by
the State Department of Highways
on “B” Street.
It is our understanding, both
from a letter addressed to the
Council and your verbal affirma
tion at the Council meeting on May

Keith Hedreen returned last week
after an absence of about a month.
While outside he attended a Rotary
District meeting in Vancouver,
B.C., along with Judge Hubert
Gilbert of Nome Superior Court.
The trip also gave Hedreen an
opportunity to visit with his five
brothers and to take in the C211
Fair. I
28, 1962, that the Nome Covenant
Church Board holds firm in its
asking price of $3,000 plus the City
bearing the cost of moving the
building for the property in ques
tion. It was due to this difference
in asking price versus offering
price that the Council called the
special meeting held on June 1,
1962 at 7:30 pm. and requested the
Nome Covenant Church Board of
Directors to meet with than.
In view of the fact the Council
feels that their offer is more than
fair for the property and in view
of the fact that none of the Nome
Covenant Church Board of Di
rectors appeared to discuss this
with the Council, which indicated
to the Council that you desired no
further discussion; the Council took
the following action:
The City Attorney was instructed
to prepare papers for the Declara
tion of Taking which will give the
City of Nome title to the East 22
feet of Lot 22, Block 21 of the
Townsite of Nome immediately
upon being filed with the Superior
Court in this Division. These papers
will be filed with the court on
June 8, 1962. In the meantime, the
City’s offer as quoted above will
remain open until the papers are
filed. At that time the offer is no
longer open and the purchase
price, or land value, will be set
by the Court.
I regret that this action became
necessary but it was apparent to
the Council that such would be
necessary to arrive at a satisfactory
solution in the near future.
Very truly yours,
Donald M. Hoover,
Mayor
