LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor, Horner Hews
Homer, Alaska
Dear Mr, Raver:
I wish to thank you for
your attendance at the Friday
nite meeting of the RIJD so
that you have the true ptcr
ture of the proceedings,
You were the victim of
circumstances when you were
asked to invite the public,
over your radio station, to a
special board meeting to dis
cuss the access road problem,
I feel that it- was prearrang
ed that the main purpose or
climax of the meeting was to
be the stopping of all opera
tions on the present clinic
site on the eve of the call
for bids by the AP'.L This
was evidenced by the special
group of people in attendance
who approximated about #5 per
cent of the entire gathering,
Had the t^ue purpose of this
invitc-tion been made public,
you would have seen a more
faxr cross-section of the com
munity present,
1 would like to take this
opportunity to apologize to
the remaining members of the
PUD beard and the veople who
elected me to office for hav
ing quit when 1 did but I
feel that life is too short
Pq have to take the guff that
goes with serving this com
munity, I have served in one
capacity or another, together
with several other good, pro
gressive Homer citizens, since
*935 and I certainly am not
ashamed of the accomplish
ments made; such as the first
Homer Civic Dock, Homer Hill
School House, Homer Electric
from the very beginning to the
first energizing of its lines
(a five-year period), assist
ing in the construction of
library and other projects too
numerous to mention.
It is plain to see that on
FOR SERVICE
FOR HOSPITALITY
THATS THE FINEST
IN HOMER, VIS IT
HAROLD AND ELECTA
AT THE
ly those who try to accomplish,
things and make Homer a batter
placet to live are the ones
who make all the errors,
Those who do nothing at all
place themselves in a very
favorable positiin to critici
ze the efforts of others and
by real flowing oration will
naturally tend to sway those
people who are gullible e
nough to swallow it*
It should be gratifying to
the voting public to know
that the remaining board mem
bers they elected to office
intend to carry out thei*“ du
ties as they honestly feel
they should,
should a referendum vote
be called to decide the fate
of the present clinic, / feel
cer tain that a strong majority
of the people will vote to
carry the present project
through to completion. Sure
ly, if they had not been in
favor of such action, some
complaint would have been
made at some time1 or other in
the past two years<
I feel if this matter is
brought, to the attention of
Ur Houston of the AP>1 at
this time that we will be
placing the project in jeop
ardy and we may not have a
clinic and doctor here for
several mare years, He will
wonder if the thinking of the
Homer people is so unstable
that they cannot make up their
minds in two years as to just
what they want* He\may also
feel the same about helping
with the small boat harbor and
possible expansion on the Ho
mer dock,
Very Truly Yours
R N. Kramch
Ex-President,
PUD Board.
