FROm ULIHRT! HERR
It’s been Interesting to learn that even
though the Federal government has b3en extra
nice to Alaska in the matter of assistance
in airport building (75^ of the funds can be
securer from the government by Alaskan ci
ties), the citieS can’t pick up the checks
until an, act in the territorial legislature
permits them to.
For that reason, anchorage, Fairbanks and
Juneau, Alaska’s big.three, as well as half
a dozen smaller cities, including Seldovia,
are matching mith interest the progress of
Senate Bill 48. That bill entitles them to
eat the cake the government has put on the
table before them. It’s said that very bill
might become a political football before the
session is over.
as right have been expected, the closed
shop referendum proposed for the next gen
eral election, was responsible for. a lot of
out-of-breath Senators recently. The one
faintly surprising thing about the measure
was that after a terrific expenditure of
words it passed the Senate with only three
dissenting votes.
Kodiak aopears to be going twentieth cen
tury. The territory’s first dial telephone
system is to be installed in that city this
spring, it is reported. It won’t b3 more
than a year or two nor 3, probably, before
we’ll be so civilized we can watch the ice
at Nenana go out through our television sets
and our check for the winnings will be deli
vered at th3 door a couple of hours later by
a pilot-less helicopter.
There is still no water in Homer, in the
conventional npota tike water taps, that is.
Horn er - i t e s will r en ember th i s w inter for
many a year to come, but they still seem to
like it, even after a winter of carrying wa
ter in tin buckets and then rationing it to
make it last as long as possible, for fear
the water hole soon would be exhausted.
