CITY COUNCIL

The Nome City Council held its regular meeting Monday night in the city hall with a large gather ing in attendance.
 Additional street lighting was recommended in the area of the new hospital as well as on Third Ave, where the American Legion, Arctic Club and Odd Fellow Halls are. Lights Weer also considered for the far end of Kings Way.
 Councilman Bronson called to the attention of the Council that he had loaned his truck to the City for picking up rocks from the streets and expected no compen- sation.
 MT. J. J. Jenkins was introduced by the Mayor as a special investi- gating agent for the ANS from Anchorage. MT. Jenkins stated that his findings were appalling and that Don Foster, head of the ANS in Alaska has instructed me that if the town isn't cleaned up he will send in a special agent on liquor enforcement in behalf of the Indians"
 MT. Jenkins suggested the fol- lowing improvements to Nome's present police system: an attorney for a magistrate; the getting to- gether of bar owners and police force in a program to PREVENT CRIME RATHER THAN SUP PRESS TT; a strict enforcement of [ the present laws; the division of i the police and fire offices, as it is too much for one man. He stated that it was his belief from past experience that once a program got under way the bar owners would police their own places, and the program would ex- pand then to catch up with those bootlegging liquor after hours.
 MT. Jenkins was challenged with the facts that his department is placing the blame for the moral conditions of the natives upon the city where part of the blame be- longs with the ANS who is responsible for these people, and through lack of training have no set moral standards.
 It was voted by the Council to advertise in a Stateside publica- ton of organized policemen for a chief of police.
 It was recommended to the council that in all fairness to a new police officer that the coun- cil get busy and have a police code by which the department can op- crate efficiently as there is none at present.
 Col C. Jamison, commanding of fiCer of Marks Air Force was in- troduced and stated that there has been good cooperation between --the city and the post in the past and he saw no reason why the same relationship should not con tinue.
