PUD STORY
(Cont* ffom Page 1, Col.l)
during the last boat opera
tion*
A motion was passed to in
vite Merrill Chitty, of An
chorage to meet with the
board to discuss tax assess
ments. Chitty had indicated
that he would make the trip
at his own expense. He is an
experienced assessor, having
set up assessments for Sel
dovia, Valdez and other tax
collecting bodies.
A*motion was passed making
the National Automobile Deal
ers Association boo~k the
guide in assessing motor ve
hicles. Any vehicle not
listed in the book would not
be assessable. The present
book includes vehicles as old
as 1946. The official Mobile
Homs®&Market Guide Book is to
be used in assessing trailer
homes.
The possibility of con
trolling tho parking of
trailer houses was discussed
and it was decided that the
PUD had no control of the
matter.
It was decided to endeav
or to get a stretcher for the
dock.
CAP MEETING HELD
John Klingbeil instructed
local CAP Timbers on the job
of keeping a proper log book
at the meeting of the group
last Thursday, according to
Gene King, commander.
Concerning the CAP, King
stated that he had heard that
tte CAP had refused to take
a recent accident case to
Soldovia for various reasons.
He said that the patient,
£>am Bell, would have been
taken to the hospital had he
been a stretcher case, but he
was not. The CAP, he stress
ed, is not in competition
with local private air lines,
and that as long as accident
cases can ho carried hy pri
vate lines, the CAP will not
take them.
The CAP is growing stronger
each week, according to King,
recently elected commander.
CHAMBER STORY
(Cont. from Pago I, Col* 3)
the board, according to Scott
and a good livewire leader
should be found to organize
an educational campaign. Ho
pointed out that the newspa
pers should toko the lead in
reminding the people of the
fire hazards that exist in
the community.
Membership in the depart
mant. does. not mean taking an
active interest in operating
the fire equijment, he said,
noting that Fire Chief Ora
Jones has that situation
well under control.
The lack of interest in
the fire department has made
it impossible to hold an el
ection of officers,Jie stated
and it might be that a meet
ing will be held after a CSG
meeting so that a quorum
would be present.
The /members of the Chamber ;
were asked to indicate by Ap
ril 1st whether or not they
would be able to make the
trip to Seward on April 18
when they will be the guests
of the Seward Chamber. Cost
of a chartered plane trip
would be $18 providing 21
manbers make the trip.
Matt Thome was welcomed
into the chamber as a new
member. He spoke briefly say
ing that there is a great
deal of interest, throughout
the Territory concerning the
progress of Homer.
