City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 24, 1915.
AN ECONOMICAL SUGGESTION

In as much as the atmosphere in this vicinity is burdened with suggestions as to the most economical method of running the city, an added suggestion more or less can increase the volume already offered very little, so, at the risk of drawing the fire of those num- heress wiseacres who profess to be- lieve that voluntary suggestions in this respect are worthy of little regard save as an excuse for sarcasm, we will submit one more, to which our atten tion has lately been directed and which contains within it's subtance much of the desirable economy, at present being discussed in all it's tenses.
 Now that we are blessed with gen erai suffrage there seems to be no par ticular reason why the annual city and school elections. which are at present held at widely seperated intervals, should not be combined and held at one and the same time. By combining the two. the saving in the matter of salaries for election officers. printing. advertis- ing and other entailed costs which rep resent no inconsiderable figure, is clearly obvious and in addition the combination will have the added effect of allowing the voter to discharge his elective duties without the necessity of having to make two appearances at the polls. Under present conditions few of the miners or those whose oc- equations are not confined to the cor porate limits care to exercise their privilege in the matter of school elec- ton, largely for the reason that to ap- pear at the polls means an extra effort and in many cases loss of valuable time To the average working miner regardless of his interest in the matter it is usually out of the question to journey several miles to town for the sole purpose of voting and as con- sequence interest is rendered negative with the ultimate result that he gives the matter no attention whatever.
 A considerable number of these mel are married and the fathers of families and under more propitious circum- stances would gladly exercise theii privilege in this regard. It appears from every aspect that change in the date of the school election is advisable and, as the matter is one in which the council apparently has complete juris- diction it is hoped that the dual benefit suggested will seem worthy of their attention.
 The matter of effectins tho change requires only a slight modification oi the present law and while it may be oi no very vital importance, the benefits to be obtained seem at least worthy ot the effort required

Delinquency among juveniles was

Rumor, which is greatly sustained by such facts as can be authenticated, says
 that the Halla and Harvey strike at Solomon reported lately is of such ex-
 tent as to suggest that continuation
 of the famous third beach line has been found in that vicinity. Several who are aware of the facts openly intimate
 that the strike is of the greatest value
 but are chary of telling all they know
 One informant asserts that seventy dollars was taken from the ground excavated during the course of digging a cellar under the cook house at the scene of the strike. From every relia
 ble source of information it is indi- cated that the strike is one of the greatest since the old beach line days. Messrs. Halla and Harvey are making every preparation to work on an ex- tensive scale, at any rate, and large quantities of supplies. including hum dred tons of coal, have already been landed on the ground while MT. liar
