Vet to Start Giving
Rabies Shots Tomorrow.

rabies will be started tomorrow
morning, Councilman Bob Harwood
announced today, after conferring
with Capt. F. E. Hemphill, Air
Force veterinarian.
Capt. Hemphill will start at one
end of town, going from house to
house, giving the shots, but owners
of the animals are expected to be
on hand to hold them. The inocu

Not to Apply For j
Adjacent Tidelands
The Nome City Council, which
had tabled the matter of acquiring
the tidelands adjacent to Nome,
brought up the matter at Mon

making application for this area.
Mayor Don Hoover announced
that maps had been received of
Anvil Mountain and Cape Nome
sites, so that the recreation areas
sought may be plainly marked as
required.
The opening of bids for oil,
water and garbage resulted in
Nome Sanitary Service submitting
the lowest bid on garbage of $15
per month; the water bid of $12.50
per thousand gallons by Moonlight
Wather Co. being rejected as too
high; and the oil bids held over
due to technicalities.
The city was in receipt of a
communication from the U.S.
Smelting Co. concerning the prop
erty on the Sand Spit, which is
to be used for the new power plant.
The mining co. desired more de
tailed information on the use of
the property such as whether the
water would be used from the I
river or from wells and other such
facts before definietly answering
the request of the city for the
land.
The Nome School requested per
mission to make some minor
changes recommended for health
purposes, such as ventilating fans,
and the matter was tabled until
such time as cost figures can be
given the Council.
The Nome Women’s Club re
quested the city to make applica
tion for the old guest house
(Weather Bureau Bldg.) for a mu
seum and the matter was tabled.
The matter of dog inoculations
to be given on May 30 and May

■ put in the hands of the Health
i Committee as details of where
> and how the inoculations are to
be given have not been received.
The resignation of Carl Gla
vinovich, councilman, was re
ceived and accepted with regret,
but he felt it was to the best in
terest of the city that he tender
his resignation at this time as
he would be out of town most of
summer.

Hedreen and Councilman Glavin
