Utilities Grants
Electricians Raise,
Less Benefits
A 67—cent an hour wage increase
has been granted the electrical
workers of the Municipal Utilities
System, bringing their hourly wages
to $4.60. The increase will eliminate i
paid holidays, vacations, and sick I
leave, however. The agreement is
retroactive to April 1, and will be
in effect until a year from that date.
The system had offered a 20-cent
increase with included benefits, but
the union preferred the 67-cent
raise without the benefits.

EDITORIAL
Growth All About
Fairbanks is growing like Topsy. Increased population has
called for more building. This has taken place all over town
in new structures and additions to existing ones, and in the
surrounding country where homesteaders aie carving out new
homes.
The business district, the residential areas, the fringes of
town that are steadily creeping outward, and the surrounding
rural district have all acquired a new look.
Fairbanks has always been the metropolis of Interior Alaska
and now it is becoming truly metropolitan in appearance as well
as in location.
