Bonds Totaling $10,025,000
Go To Council For Action
By Colin Mick
Two ordinances providing for bond elections on proposals to
5? ie a total of $10,025,000 in Revenue Bonds were placed in
first reading by the Fairbanks City Council Monday Night.
The money would be used for the construction of power
generating facilities for the Municipal Utilities System._ _
Ordinance 1148, if approved.'
■would provide for the issuance of
$1 250,000 in Revenue Bonds for
the immediate construction of addi
tional generating facilities. Present
plans call for the installation of an
8.COO KW gas turbine generator with
a waste heat boiler in the present
power house on lower First Ave.
The plant would be used to provide
extra power for the next three
jears. then would be used for peak
ing power and emergency use.
L. L. Glascoe, assistant manager
of MUS. stated that MUS hopes
to have this plant in operation by
this winter. He pointed out that
during the extremely cold weather
Ir.Ft winter all available power was
rwed. and had either an MUS or a
G'.'EA generator given out. area
residents would have been in real
trouble.
Second Ordinance
The second Ordinance (1149'
would provide for issuing $8,775,000
in Revenue Bonds for the construc
tion of base load electrical generat
ing facilities. This would consist of
a C2MW coal-fired steam generator,
constructed adjacent to the present
plant.
Glascoe stated that this plant
v. ould only be built if some sort of
an arrangement could be worked
out with GVEA. where GVEA would
purchase part of the power. He said
ii GVEA. through REA. decided to
construct a plant, the MUS would
purchase power from them instead.
Glascoe pointed out that although
the City might never build this
plant, it is essential to be prepared,
as the power will be needed in
three years, and construction oi
■the plant will take from two tc
■three years. He said if the MUS die
have to build the plant, it woulc
speed the 'plant up considerably ii
the authority to sell the bonds hac
already been granted.
Councilman Darrell Brewington
printed out that since the bonds
•will be Revenue Bonds, there will
"be no taxlincrease. as they
paid for oi.it of MUS profits.

Elbert Kunz Still
Leads Active Life
Not so many years ago this guy
used to be bouncing around a gym
floor with the best of them, at bas
ketball, softball, acrobatics, and
handball.
Next it was learned he was gen
eral traffic manager for the Alaska
Railroad.
Today, or rather last week, it was
reported he was returning to the
mainland from Haw'aii, where he
had spent the past winter, having
retired last year from active work.
No wonder Fairbanksans haven't
: seen Elbert Kunz around. Kunz was
scheduled to leave Honolulu May 4
and planned to make Kingston, in
the magnificent San Juans. Puget ,
Sound country, his permanent home. 1
