Three surgeons were arguing about
which type of surgery is the most diff

surgery. The American doctor thought
brain surgery the most delicate. The
third doctor, Russian, shocked his

the most difficult operation is the re-
moval of tonsils.

to keep their mouths shut. We doctors
have to perform the operation through

Utilities Hearing Set for May II

Councilman Wallace McIver, acting Mayor, in the absence of Mayor Steffen Andersen who is "Outside" on business, presided at the regular Council meeting held on Monday evening.
 After considerable discussion on the rate change for the Nome Pow CT and Light Utilities, it was de- cided to have another rate hear ing at g pm. on May II, for cer- tain adjustments in the new rates. The Utility Board and manager have been requested to be pres ent at that time, to answer ques- tions.
 Several citizens were present at the meeting presenting prob lems and asking several questions of interest to the community.
 Jim Andersen of the Nome Mar ket suggested that applications for manager and other positions for the Nome Power and Light should be asked by public invitation, as is done for other city placements.
 Jennie Frasier voiced the opin- ion that those persons using city lots without rent should be charged accordingly.
 w. w. Laws, Tommy Johnson, Gus Bjornstad voiced opinions that the Council should offer for bid any property it has for sale. They criticized the action of the Council in the recent sale of the ANS school property without bid.
 In the matter of a raise in sales tax to 3 per cent, as recently pro- jected, the opinion was voiced that all past due sales tax should be collected first.
