Work Fire Mains
 Completed This
 Morning All OK

Work was completed on the installing of the fire mains and hydrants in Nome this morning, under the PWA loan and grant agreement, and Nome now boasts of one of the most complete and eff cient fire fighting systems in the Territory of Alaska.
 There are eighteen hyd- rants installed throughout the city, serving the most Vi- tai sections of town. The fur thermost East hydrant is To- cated near the Lomen Con- mercial Co.,, on Front Street, and the furthermost West is located just above the Nome Harbor Lighterage Company on First Avenue.
 On B Street North a hyd rant is located at the corner of J A Pangman's garage and barn, and on Stedman Aven- ue North a hydrant is Slocated at the corner by the Catholic Church.
 The system has been fully tested and has proved to be efficient and successful in ev- cry respect, furnishing high head pressures at all of the hydrants, thereby giving the city an up-to-the-minute hy- drant and fire mains system which should provide the ut- most in fire protection.
