Fairbanks Utility
Rates Are Illegal
i
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — Federal
0
Judge Harry Pratt ruled yesterday
that the City of Fairbanks had no
legal right to establish a utilities,
board in 1947, and rates set by
thie board were invalid.
He ruled there is no Territorial
law permitting Alaskan cities to
appoint utility boards. Such a law
was passed in 1935 and repealed
in 1939.
In what may be a far-reaching
decision in the Territory, the
judge ruled that the city council
must fix utility rates, and bond
holders would have tor approve
any delegation of power by the
city to a utilities board.
The judge made his decision in
the case of Robert Claus, who re
fused to pay rates set for unme-!
tered steam here and brought suit
in a test case. The judge ruled
Claus must pay only a reasonable
cost for steam, but his decision
did not touch on what “reasonable
cost” might be.

HIGH SCHOOL
Students on the basketball team
arirved Wednesday morning with
suit cases in hand, neatly* dressed,
and all prepared for the Alaska
Airlines to take them on the flight
iO Anchorage to participate in the
basketball tournament during the
Fur Rendezvous. It was a moment
of high expectation and inspira
tion for all of us. It was a time
that had been looked forward to
during the entire basketball sea
son. Now the day had arrived. It |
nu\ nt more perhaps to two of our
boys, John Bell and Isaac Larsen j
who would now experience their
first airplane ride. They would
soon see their first large steam
locomotive trains and many other
strange things.
T’^e day before, we had sung
| for them our three High School
son^s: “On Nome High School,”
I “Hats Off To Thee,” and “We Are
! Loyal Students.” They will re- |
[ member our cheers and carry high
1 the traditions of our High School,
i Last year, they added a new tro
| phy to our cabinet, namely that of;
1 good sportsmanship, which is
i something we are proud of.
At twelve o’clock they bid fare
! well and were taken out to the
j field. At one-thirty, the Alaska
Airlines plane shot suddenly into
the sky from the west-east run
way and the team was on its way.
