NOME COUNCIL
MEETING NOTES
At a special meeting of the City
Council last evening Robert Scott,
city clerk, tendered a verbal resig
nation in order to bring to the at
tention of the Council, the crying
need for an overhaul of the Office
of the City Clerk.
“The backlog of unfinished
documentary work, city maps, city
codes, is tremendous,” stated Scott
and the “present office equipment
antiquated and inadequate. Filing
cabinets, storage space, modem
business machines, and other
equipment is needed if the records
are to be kept. Too many things
have been passed along from year
to year with nothing being ac
complished.”
Scott explained he has no inten
tion of leaving the position as long
as he is needed, but took this step
to bring to the attention of the
council the inadequacy of the pre
j sent set-up.
The Council, which has been
studying the three alternates for
the repairs needed on the new
grade school roof, have taken the
third alternate, calling for a com
plete new roofing job which is es
timated at $12,276, and have noti
fied the 49th Construction Co. so
that they may have the materials
on the second boat now loading in
Seattle.
The council, with the city attor
ney, studied the several city plats
and decided that the 1934 revision
is the legal map at this time.
The city budget was tentatively
set at $306,000 pending the com
pletion of the school budget, and
the tax rate was tenatively set at
114 mills.
LETS HAVE A BALL ...
“Let’s have a ball,” say the mid- 1
night Sun Festival Queen contest- ;
ants. “Let’s have a ball,” says ■
everybody in Nome. '
The Lions Club says “Let’s have
| one tomorrow night at the Armory
at 9 o’clock.”
Each of the queen contestants
will be offered an opportunity to
be introduced, to perform and to
solicit votes.
Other entertainment will be a
twist contest, and can-can dancers.
You haven’t seen the Lion can
canners, have you? It could be a
real surprise!
Go support the candidate of your
choice and “have a ball” while
doing it.

Public Camp Site
To Be Selected
On Salmon Lake
Secretary of the Interior Stewart
Udall ended on June 5 the mora
torium which has been in effect
on non-mineral public land appli
cations in Alaska. The moratorium
originally snixcunvwu • • - F^
1961 for 18 months, remains in
effect in several other states.
Dan Jones, regional director for
BLM stated that he hoped to an
nounce the opening to small tracts
some time in July at Salmon Lake.
Those having already made ap
plication for camp sites in that
area will have to file again, he
stated, but all who have done so
will be given ample notice and
time to refile.
He also advised that an area
will be selected as a public camp
ground or park area on Salmon
Lake and whatever land is left
over will be put up for sale in
small tracts.
Secretary Udall explained that
j less and less good quality, accessible
I land in Alaska will be available
under the federal public land laws.
When Alaska became a State it
received a congressional land grant
of more than 103 million acres.
Most of this land will be taken
from the better quality unreserved
public domain; some 12 million
acres have already been selected
by the State.
The specific lands which will
be transferred to State ownership
were not spelled out in the law.
The new State will have 25 years
during which to select the granted
lands. So far the State has selected
virtually all of the remaining un
reserved public domain in South
eastern Alaska. The State has also
selected the available lands on the
Kenai Peninsula. In addition, the
State government has selected the
more accessible lands in the An
chorage area, including the Matan
uska Valley areas and northward
in the Susitna River Valley. Other
selections have been made around
Fairbanks, and along the Alaska
Highway.
Sen. Lester Bronson, who spon
sored Senate Bill 9 in 1961 asking
the Department of Interior to set
aside recreational land, has re
ceived word that a land order has
been signed by Secretary of the
■ Interior Udall giving the State
certain rights in selecting land from
this area.
In Magistrate’s Court Robert
Curran was given a suspended sen
tence of 15 days for being drunk
while a minor.
In Superior Court Gloria Jean
Fisher was granted a divorce from
James Fisher.
