Nome boat subsidy bids fail as only one bid withdrawn
Governor Bone announced a territorial subsidy for Nome to Kotzebue and Nome to St Michael runs. Only one bid was received and later withdrawn. the envelope was returned unopened. Officials will try again, but late season suggests no extended bid call. $17,000 is available for subsidies this biennium, $10,000 Nome-Kotzebue and $7,000 Nome-St Michaels.
