would serve duel purpose, as it would provide a convenient place for the disposal of sediment being dug from the bottom of the liar Dor, where it continually accumu- lates.
 A summary of the foregoing data reveals the following:
 Bushes property value of build ings, goods, merchandise in the threatened area heretofore shown to be $4,500,0OO, to which may be added real estate to be reclaimed with potential accommodation for building sites in the amount of $1,500,0OO.
 Your Committee suggests that the Chamber abandon all other projects, in favor of the building of breakwater or sea wall and encourage the City Council to comply with Colonel Hewitt's plan as outlined above.
 Further, that committee be appointed to meet with the City Council for the purpose of draft ing letter to Colonel Hewitt, in- forming him that the City has elected to go ahead with the break water or seta wall project and must have financial aid and for this reason, request Colonel Hew- it to do all in his power to imme- diately have the Beach Erosion Board begin the investigation sc that the Federal Government vii realize their responsibility and ex.

 years and at loss of approximate $2,000,0O0, admit their proserva- tion depends upon the building of the sea wall.
 This is not a criticism of our south side property owners. They had many good reasons for want ing to retain their property. First, the area is thaWed ground and be- ing so, made possible the building of basements on permanent foun- dations, also because of being thawed, if afforded drainage and modern sanitary convenienceS. Our fellow townsmen of the south side have built fine buildings and in each, business is being conduct ed that is indispensable, a credit to our City. In this area our City Hall is located. At present prices of material and labor, the build ings in this area would cost S1,- 100000 and if abandoned to the sea, these buildings could not be duplicated with their valuable | basement storage and drainage fa- ! cilities elsewhere in the City of Nome, as the cost of preparing | frozen ground to accommodate them would be prohibitive. The business houses in this area, store | large stocks of goods and mer- 1 ChandiSe which is essential to the needs of our City and this totals a S750,000 valuation. Thousands of dollars in services are dispensed here also.
 The foregoing story of the past i should be an object lesson mad we hope that we will be guided ac- cordingly, because of the fact that in 1884 we overlooked planning for the future, we should immedi- ately begain action on the plan of Colonel Hewitt and aggressively seek aid from the Federal Govern ment to the end that the breakwa- ter will be built.
 To show the amount of property value that is sure to be wiped out in the next few years unless this breakwater is built:
 Valuation of business section on the south side of Front Street al , ready shown to be S1 1,000,000; bus , mess section, including Federal Building on the north side of the street, an equal amount; Streets, Power Plant and Power Lines, Fire Mains and other public prop erty, another Million Dollars, making approximately a total of $3,O0OO, ,OOO.
 The following shows possible reclamation:
 Of the 4,445 feet of frontage lost, 1,945 feet was rendered untenable for buildings during the storms of 1946. It was in this area that the greatest loss occurred. Severe damage to Power Plant and Power Lines; Fire Mains; Buildings de- molished, and two lives lost. These utilities are now exposed and are threatened to be completely de- ; StrOyed. These installations would be preserved and the whole area reclaimed which would accommo- date $750,000 additional building.
 The remaining approxi m e 2,500 feet of frontage extending to the east limit of Nome was render ed untenable by previous storms

water or sea wall be erected par allel to the beach east of the jetty and extending from the jetty to the eastern limits of the City. The material he has recommended is principally rock which is avail able locally. Complete details of construction and materials neces- sary, would no doubt be submitted by him, if same were requested by the City. He has already sub mitted an estimated cost of $150 per lineal foot of breakWater or sea wall. AS the distance from the letty to the eastern limits of the City of approximately 5000 feet, the total estimated cost would be approximately S9O0,OOO. Despite the fact that his figure is of alarm ing proportions, it is insignificant compared with the losses sustained by the City and property owners, since the business section of the City was rebuilt after the disas- trous fire of 1884.
 No detailed accounting is avail able covering losses by storm and erosion sustained since that year. > However, from newspaper memo-r anda, City tax rolls and other other sources, the following fig ures have been compiled, which we believe to be substantially cor rect. Due to storm during 1885 all the buildings in the area compris- ing 2500 fet of frontage on the south side of Front Street and re- corded on City tax roll as Block g. 9, 10 and II were demolished or moved off, and the lots rendered useless as building sites. Building and property loss and damages to bulkhead and buildings in other parts of the City were reported at $45O,0O0 for that year. In the years following, damage and loss from major storms were sustained as follows: 1937-$35O,O 1000; 1942- $450,00 1945-$550,O and 1946- S5OO,OOO.
 . In the meantime, minor storms continually eroded away the pro- tecting beach and did damage to defenSeS, which apparently went unrecorded, but when added, swell the total to approximately S3,000,- 900.
 During this period between 1894 and 1946 approximately $25O,000 was expended on beach log, tim Der, plank, steel piling, sand filled barrels and other types of bulk heads. These bulkheads were de- signed and caused to be built by individual property owners at their own expense and varied ac- cording to the ideas and affluence of the property owner. Their weakness somewhat reflected the attitude of their designers. They so different from each other that they did not present a united front against the sea. However, the con- tinuous erosion so undermined these defenses that they are nc longer considered adequate, even by their designers.
 If sufficient concern, foresight and planning had ben exercised eleven years ago, Nome would moi be in the precarious position it is today. True, the erosion of the beach was in its early stages and

Mother is the sweetest and dearest treasure
We can ever own;
When she is gone away from earth, II
never seems the same.
You always look for something you can
never find;
A lonely spot is. in your heart nothing
seems to satisfy.
For each, of US, she did her best;
May God grant her eternal rest
Your memories are treasures no one can
Parting leaves heartaches no one can heal;
Till memory fades and life departs,
You will live forever in our hearts.
Your life was so unselfsh
And for others you did live:
Not for what you would receive
But for what only YOU could give.
Always so good and kind.
Thinking of others and trying to find
A good deed to do, some praise to say;
That's why you are remembered and
missed more each dav.

When earth shall yield its own,
