Delinquent Tax Roll Starts In
 Tonight's Issue

In today's issue of the Daily Nugget appears the Delinquent Tax Roll of the City of Nome for the year 1885.
 Notice how small it is. A year ago was published the roll which included seven years of delinquent taxes, and covered nearly an en- tire page.
 Continued efforts on the part of city officials to keep this inn portant factor of city revenue cleaned up, and their determina ton to advertise the roll each year, thereby keeping it up to- date, is believed responsible for the excellent condition in which that division now exists.
 The roll will be avertised once each week, as it stands now. Then a month will elapse, court or der will be secured interest add ed and cost charges distributed, and the roll will again be aver tised for a month, after which, upon the date specified, the pro- perty will be sold. Those who pay their delinquent taxes be- tween the first order of publica- ton and the beginning of the last one, it is understood will have their names removed.

Leftist Govt. Moves from Madrid to Valencia, Spain
PREVENTION
 FIRE SHOULD BE AIMED AT

Prior to the regular city coun- cil meeting to be held next Mon day evening, attention is once called to the need of Fire Pre- vention Week" in Nome.
 Recently the subject appeared in an issue of the Daily Nugget following an interview with Fire Chief w. w. Laws, who stated at that time, he believed it to be imperative, for the added protec ton of life and property this win- ter
 Since that time, discussion re- garding a campaign to unearth fire hazards, and correct defect i've heating equipment, has been heard on several occasions.
 At Monday nights council meeting we believe such cam paign should be brought up and promoted by the city fathers,
 Plans could be very simple It would not be necessary to set up battery of complicated instruc- tions-merely instruct the fire department to see that fire haz- ards are corrected remedied or removed-such inspection would result in the saving of much pro- perty and money before the win ter is out.
 Other communities throughout Alaska and the nation cooperate in a national fire prevention week during the early part of October. There is no reason why Nome should not a''hough il has over- looked the natoaal eampaign, ins' tata one of ifs own.
 For instance during d specified WeeR, have the Chief of the Fire Department and one or two other men. visit every building in the city, inspect the stoves, pipes, fueS, the proximity of unprotect ed p.pes to walls and other infam mable material, and in a general way, notice anything else which might cause fire.
 Upon the completion of each investigation notify the owner regarding the status of his build ing, and if renewal of pipes etc., or protection inside the building is necessary, advise him to correct whatever hazard exists, and then see that he does it.
 Time spent now in bringing to light any fire hazards within the city is money saved for the city, private individual, and pro- perty of all kinds.

INSTRUCTION FOR MOTORISTS

The American people have been working for years to induce automobile drivers to operate their fully and avoid accidents Up to date their efforts have not been very successful, Their policy seems too much
 like attempting to disease by removing it's symp- toms instead of getting at the fundamental root of the trouble.
 The root of the trouble in reckless automobile driv- ing is the lack of spirit of caution and prudence. It does little good to talk to reckless persons after their driving ideas are well formed. Fines and suspensions of their right to drive have effect but in many cases fail to cure these habits
 It would seem practical idea to require all cand- dates for the right to drive automobile to at tend short course given by some competent traffic authority on the proper methods of driving Diagrams and pictures should illustrate the pers of various tra fife situations, indicate the rate permissible under given conditions and should show the signals and other ac- ton that decency and safety require from the operator
 It is much easier to form the habit of doing some thing right the start is made with clear idea of the right way to do it. After they have done the thing wrong for years, few people will change this old habit Alaska Daily Press
