Water and Sewage
Project Still Pending
The Nome City Council met in
special session on Friday and went
over all correspondence and forms
received in relation to the water
and sewage project to determine
the actual status of affairs.
Final consensus indicated that
the project is still pending and in
order.
It was agreed to table the mat
ter until the revenue bonds for
Nome Power and Light have been
signed sometime in June at which
time the represetnative of the city
signing the bonds will personally
confer with HHFA and pursue the
water and sewage problem.
The second matter of business at
the special meeting was concern
ing the land on which the city
plans to build the new power
plant. City Attorney Tom Balone
expressed the opinion that he felt
the U.S.S.R. & M Co. had a valid
claim to the property. The mayor
was authorized to confer with the
U.S.S.S.R. & M Co. concerning the
ground and ascertain what the
asking price to the city would be
Art Show Displays
Promising Talent
Those who did not take advan
tage of visiting the school on Fri
day and Saturday and see the art
show, missed a real treat.
What the young people have ac
complished in a few short months
under the direction of Mrs. Buch is
quite astounding and shows what
talent there is to be developed with
proper instruction.
The young students have been
invited to select the best of their
work for entry in the Art Show
which is being sponsored by the
Keoga Kozga Library Assn., dur
ing the Midnight Sun Festival.
The show which is being held
in the foyer of the Nomerama,
courtesy of Willie Brown, attracted
much attention last year and local
artists are busy preparing new
pictures for the 1963 show as no
work displayed last year can be
entered this year.
Some pictures will be on display
and others will be available for
purchase. Eskimo artists as far
away as Pt. Hope have been in
vited to enter pictures. The show
is open to young people as well
as adults.
