Vote FOR Issuing Revenue Bonds
for the City Electric System
The Seward Electric bysiem riaru
was completed in January of 1938,
at a cost of $96,000.00. The con
struction was paid for by the issu
ing of revenue bonds. The R.F.C.
being the purchaser of the bonds.
The original equipment, which is
still in good working order has the
capacity of 300 KW. This capacity
was sufficient to handle the load
at the time of construction when
the population of Seward was esti
mated to be between 780 and 800.
With the beginning of the Sec
ond World War came the demand
for more power, the Army and
Navy and the construction com
panies needed power and with
them came an increase in civilian
population also in need of power.
The City endeavored for several
years to get a priority rating high
enough to obtain additional equip
ment, but with little success. In
the fall of '44 they started negoti
ations for the Caterpillar diesel
units that were purchased and in
stalled in 1945. These units were
purchased second-hand and in poor
condition, for the sum of S12.000
for four' units generating 175 KW.
The units were too high speed for
fhe purpose and did not operate in
harmony with the existing equip
mnt. They were finally junked in
1947-48.
In November of 1947 the Utility
Board purchased a G.iM.C. diesel
motor, used but ip good condition,
with a capacity load of 240 KW,
for the sum of S13.000.00 installed.
Tliis motor is still in operation. It
is an efficient standby and is used
to help carry the peak load, giving
the utility a peak load at present
of 540 KW.

addition is a Fairbanks-Morris slow
speed, heavy duty diesel motor
with a 360 KW capacity to be pur
chased and instiled at an amount
not to exceed $50,000.00. With this
additional equipment the Seward
Electric System would be able to
handle the needs of the present
estimated population of 3300 per
sons within the limits of utilities
distribution system.
The original bond issue for the
Seward Electric System is dated
April 1st, 1936. The bonds were is
sued in the sum of $96,000 at 4%.
The bonds were issued in denomi
nation of $1000 and were to be re
tired four annually with interest.
April 1st, 1946 a total of $4,640.00
had been paid of the original bond
issue, placing the City in default
in the sum of $38,000.00 plus inter
est as of that date. The default
has been paid off in the last two
years, placing the bonds on an an
nual payment basis again, but be
cause of the suit brought against
the City on the default the annual
payments have been raised to
$12,000.00. The City seeks to re
finance the bond issue by issuing
revenue bonds to retire the RFC
bonds.
tion Bonds in the amount of $171,
000.00 to refinance tiie RFC bond
November 14, 1947* an election
was held to issue General Obliga
issue and expand the Seward Elec
I trie System? The election passed
but was ruled illegal by the Dist
! rict Court on the grounds that Gen*
1 eral Obligation Bends could not be
■ used to pay off Revenue Bonds.
| A second election was held on
' the 17th day of June, 1949, asking
■ the issue of Revenue Bonds in the
I sum of $104,000.00, $54,000.00 to re
| tire the RFC Bonds and $50,000.00
to expand the present system.
This issue was passed and approved
oy the voters but was declared il
legal by the bonding companies j
contacted due to the statutory re- :
quirement of “all special elections :
must be called by ordinance." The j
election June 17th was called by I
motion of the Common Council. !
This legal technicality, though !
small, has hindered the purchase
of bonds by an accredited bonding
company to date. City Attorneys ;
Plummer and Arnell have advised
that another election be held
with all the legal formalities taken ]
car of prior to the election. The j
Common Council passed an Ordin
ance August 18th. 1949. calling for
an election for the purpose of issu
! ing Revenue Bonds in the sum of
$104,000.00 for the refinancing of
the existing bond issue and the ex
pansion and rehabilitation of Sew
ard Electric System.
