PROUD OF The WORK
City Hall He Says Has Cost But
a Nominal Sum-" Figures
Will Be Produced.

The meeting of the city council on
Monday night was held in the new city
hall. The council chamber has been
painted and neatly papered, and pre-
sents a good appearance. Bard, CALVIN,
Rowe, Stevens and Hill were al their
desks, and large number of spectators
had been attracted by the opening of
the new council chamber
Mayor Bard pointed out that this
was the first time in the history OF the
city that the city council had met in a
building of its own. He thought the
public would feel as proud of the build
ing as the council did when they found
that the cost of the building was mere
ly nominal. He was glad if he had
done nothing else for the city that he
was one of the council To help give the
public of Nome home. He wished to
say in regard to the building that he
deemed it best not to make report
till the workmen got through. He
would make a full report next Monday
night. While the carpenters and me-
chanicS had done their work for gen
eral warrants, the council might be
able to do something better and pay
them a little cash.
Stevens said he would like to ask
whether the mechanics working on the
building understood that they were to
be paid in general fund warrants.
Calvin, who up to this time had been
very quiet, only seconding one motion,
suddenly remembered that it was up to
him to say something. Councilman
Stevens he said 1.-THE president has
already told us that the 'councilmen
would be paid in general warrants
Councilman Hill: I'VE don't get
anything out of it, Jack
Councilman Calvin: Il beg pardon:
| meant to say the mechanics would be
paid in general warrants.
The street committee recommended
the opening Of Second avenue as far
east as the Beau Mercantile Company
providing persons owning property
abutting thereon will deed the city the
necessary property. without cost To the
city.
A petition signed by 81 taxpayers,
asking that B street be graveled and
drained from First avenue to Dry
creek, was referred to the street COM
mittee, Hill taking occasion to say that
he objected to the work being done be-
cause number of those who had
signed the petition had been particu-
larly loud in condemning the council
for spending the city's money An
appropriation of 5000 was asked for this
purpose, payment TO be made with a
general fund warrant.
