ifications on the pump house

asked whether or not he would
like to bid on the job*
A letter from Virgil Sei
ser of the land office in
formed the PUD that Elmer
Priest had received a patent
on lot 21 on the Spit and
that Alfred Jones had ap
plied for a patent on let 23*
A discussion of the dock
accounts receivable brought
out the fact that the Berman
Packing company of Ninilchik
owed the PUD approximately
$1700 and Alaska Fresh owed
the PUD about $700 in wharf
age charges* was stated
Russ Berteson of the Berman
company had been invited to
stop at the office and dis
cuss the bill, but that he
had not done so as yet# There
seemed to be some question as
to the amount of the Berman
account as local canneries
are supposed to get a reduced
rate on incoming cans* A re*
duced rate would cut his bill
considerably* The dock man
ager is to be invited to the
next meeting of the board to
discuss the outstanding ac
counts*
The board passed o* the
petition of Harry Gregoire as
a, candidate for the coming
election of PUD directors.
