Committee to Recommend Dog Ordinance Changes To Incoming Council

At the meeting to discuss the dog ordinance Monday a commit tee of seven was appointed to de- termine public opinion and for mulate a recommendation for the next meeting of the City Council.
 Over 50 townspeople, with the police department and most mem bers of the council, discussed the dog problem in Nome, recently made more acute by the attack of dog on two-year-old child. Mayor Wallace McIvor presided and City Clerk Carrie McClain recorded.
 The meeting had been called because of petition of citizens, headed by Hap" Eberle, who were aroused" at he manner in which the present ordinance was enforced following the injury of the small son of MT. and Mrs. James Kelliher.
 Mrs. Eberle read a list of pre- pared suggestions to improve the present ordinance, which pro- vides, in part, that "any dog run ming at large and impossible to be caught for impending, can be shot by peace officer . .. pro- viding said peace officer uses his own discretion and judgment"
 In the ny-sided and often heated discussion which followed, testimony was heard concerning pets being shot, children endan- gered by the formerly large number of loose dogs, difficulty of capturing dogs for impounding, meaning of "vicious," and so on.
 The committee, proposed by L. B. Williams and accepted by voice vote, is composed of:
 L. B. Williams (chairman," Red" Saxton, Hap" Eberle, Bud" Dodge, Sgt. Fulton, Dan Jones, and Bill Kroninger.
 Any person with suggestions for the committee are requested to write them out and send them, care of 20. Box 199.

Beta Sigma Phi Rummage Sale Nets $161.75

The girls of Beta Sigma Phi were overwhelmed with the suc- cess of their rummage sale last Saturday. In two hours every thing salable was sold, netting the sorority $16175.,
 We are especially thankful to the people of Nome who came out to buy our clothes. We are equally thankful to Hap" Lancaster for fixing shelves, tables and clothes lines for us and for the use of the Gaasland building.
 The members of the sorority and their husbands also deserve thanks for their contributions in clothes and time.
 The major portion of this mon ey will support the local pull motor campaign CWhat will the sorority do with an outboard motor if we win it, that is?) and the remains will go into our local chapter treasury, which needs a little assistance now, what with Mothers Day and Founders Day coming up on the social calendar.

Shares Went Begging.
It was recalled recently that
only q year or so before control
was put up for sale by North
American Co. and the shares
went begging among financiers
and investors here. the old stock
was selling as low as $l2 q share;
mainly due to q passed dividend.
It later recovered to SIS a
share and then to around ST at
the time the Wolfson group took
q good look at the big surplus
and purchased control for $40 d
share. The present price OF SIS
for new shares Is equivalent to
$50 a share for the old shares
preceding the split.
The Wolfson policies brought
almost an exact reversal. DIVE
dends were boosted from 50 q
share on the 100 par value stock
to 81 q share and the market
value began to climb.
After the stock split. the divi-
dends became 81 a share and
this was raised early in 1852 to
