Because only three City Coun

However, the three council mem

no action could be taken that re
quired a vote.

Seventeen delinquent sales tax
accounts will be notified by
mail of impending court action
if not paid by September 10, fol

to the collection and payment of
sales tax in the City states that
in the event the tax is not paid
before delinquency a penalty of
five percent of such tax shall be

month or fraction until a total
penalty of 15 percent has ac
crued. In addition to the penalty,
interest at the rate of six per
cent per annum on the delin
quent tax from delinquency until
paid, shall accrue. If found
guilty of violating the sales tax
ordinance, the individual or firm
is subject to a fine or imprison
ment, or both.

MTA Manager Attends
Telephone Convention
Representing the Matanuska
Telephone Association at the
three-day telephone convention
held in Ketchikan August 27, 28,
and 29 was Robert Partridge,
MTA manager. He was accom
panied by J. W. Bowder, MTA
project engineer.
Also attending the convention j
was Earl Sisk, RTA field repre
sentative engineer from the Seat
lie office. Mr. Sisk plans to re
turn to Palmer with Partridge
and check on the progress of the
new MTA telephone system.
Pior to leaving for Ketchikan
Partridge reported the outside j
plant is about 75 percent com
plete. “However,” he added, “the
outside plant system will have
to be 100 percent complete be
fore the dial service begins.” If
equipment arrives as anticipat
ed. he said, the system will be
in operation by Christmas this 1
year.
Kellogg dial telephone instru
ments will be used throughout
the system, as well as in the een-:
tral office.
The system will offer tele
phone service to many areas for
the first time. The city of Pal-'
mer will have a greater coverage j
than ever before.
Telephone service will be ex- j
MILK CAN PROVES
TO BE REAL JAIL
Young Micky Edmunds,
eight years old. found himself
truly imprisoned while play
ing “jail" with a group of his
friends on Wednesday. The
“jail” was a ten-gallon milk
can and Micky found himself
wedged tight after having got
ten in the can feet first.
Through the combined efforts
of police officers and Jim's
Service Micky was cut out of
the can. It took a hacksaw,
chisel and a bolt cutter to fin
ally free the youngster.
tended to residents in the areas
of Wasilla, Big Lake, Knik,!
Farm Loop, Fishook. Lazy Moun
tain, Butte, Sutton, Goat Creek.
Eagle River, Birchwood, and j
Chugiak. At the present time
there are a few emergency tele
phones located in some of the
named localities, but on the
whole, the new system will offer
service to the public throughout
the entire valley area for the
first time in Alaska telephone
history.
The central office and the
business office wi'l be located
in Palmer. Sub-stations are being
constructed at Sutton, Wasilla
and Chugiak. Each area will
have an exchange name and
methods to be followed in call
ing from one exchange to an
other will be announced at a lat
er date.
At the present time around 700
subscribers are listed in the new
system. Within six months after
the system is cut over we antic
ipate another 200 subscribers”.
Partridge said and speculated
that the peak of 1.000 subscribers
will be reached by next summer. |
Equity payments have been
coming in better, Partridge said,
but emphasized the need to have
payments completed before the j
system is cut over.
Anyone who has not applied j
for service will have to expect
“service if and when available,”
the MTA manager pointed out.
“We are in business to give ser
vice wherever possible and will
give this service where possible,”
he said. He pointed out that
where the cables run close to
the applicant’s property the
problem of extending service is
minute. However, he pointed
out, long rural runs present
problems and the extension of
service in these areas to those
not now planned for, may be
delayed.
