 Mr. Walsh then discussed the the city finances in deta.l,. S3,200 was added to it's expenses this year for new foundation to the school, other improvemnts and re pairs, and some CWA expense for miscellaneous material. The city also purchased some lots west of the city hall The tfeasury will not be able to meet it's ob- ligation to the School Board. A wire from Mir. Karnes, who dis purses the $50,000 gift from the government, was read and advis- cd that no part of the money can be applied to the site or the fur nishing of the school; that the money was to be used Only for the school building and it's heat ing plant. Charlie Jones then gave the opinion that we should not have a shell With nothing in 1t, as was the case with the Gov ernment Detention Hospital some years ago. A site should be found at the least cost, but which will be suitable for school build ing
 MT. Hartford stated that fnanc- es controlled the entire project, and although the ste in back of Babe .Seidenverg's home might. al- so be considered, he favored the present playground site as the most central location.
 Rev. McCay was of the opinion that the building of this new school would settle the education al environment of Nome for a long time to come and was there fore prejudiced in favor of the present playground site also on account of it's central location. Also the roads are always open, and now that they have recently finished the governm school, particular attention should be given to that of the Territory.

Cliff Allyn said that all the commissioners have sV.d that Nome has the poorest school in Alaska and that Wrangell had built one of concrete for a little over $40,000. In answer to MT. Yenney's question of what it costs to, build the native school, MT. Buckley replied that the $20,000 which had been appropriated had been sufficient but he had not fin ished h's job. He thought the new school could be built for $50. 900.
