MUS Slates Vital
Power Meeting
For February 13
Future power plans will be the
principal item for discussion at the
Feb. 13 meeting of the Municipal
Utilities Board, accordng to Robert
W. Wade, General Manager.
Wade explained that within the
next few days he expects to receive
copies of the Parsons Report on
the feasibility of establishing a
central Alaska Power Pool, and an
independent survey sponsored by
the MUS and GVEA exploring the
possibility of a joint power plant.
Earlier the MUS had stated that
they would have to have a firm plan
for obtaining new power by Febru
ary 1. However, it now appears that
neither report will arrive until
after the deadline. Wade said that
no decision would be made concern
ing a new power source until both
reports had been carefully studied.

Young Republican
Chief Fires Blast
At State Demos
Dick Milner, State Chairman of
the Alaska Young Republican Fed
eration, today charged Governor
Egan and his administration with
creating a smoke screen to “con
ceal investigations, failures, and in
competence” in a Lincoln Day Din
' ner speech given in Nome.
The Fairbanks Republican also
i attacked Egan's budget, calling it a
frightening budget.” He pointed
out that only three years ago Alas
ka’s budget was “19 million dol
lars, and yet today Egan is propos
ing a “78 million dollar budget.”
Milner called for an early reduc
tion of the budget, stating that, “If
our State is to grow and we are to
provide the jobs necessary to in
ci G3sg our population, we must
adopt policies that permit the ac
cumulation of capital and encour
age its use rather than to limit and
discourage its use.”
He wound up his speech with a
history of the Young Republican
movement and explained the part
young Republicans have in the over
all picture.
Painters Agree
On Plan To Aid
Local Business
In order to take up a bit of slack
in work during the winter months,
the painting contractors and Paint
ers’ Union No. 1555 of Fairbanks
have made an agreement this week
to work during week-ends and holi
days for straight hourly wages.
This agreement offers an oppor
tunity for business firms to get
painting done during hours when
their businesses are normally
closed down, at no extra cost.
After the construction season
begins around April 1, the old
agreement will be back in effect.
