were thrown overboard.
The Heron, Bittersweet and Mer
ganser arrived at the wreck about
0700 and the Bittersweet and
Heron got tow lines aboard and
at 10:45 the Sea Quail was hauled
off. The vessel was down by the
head with a bad port list. The
empty live tank kept the stern
high. The Merganser took the ves
sel in tow for Izhut Bay on Afog
nak Island. The Bittersweet fol
lowed while the Heron and Miss
Arctic went on ahead to find a
good anchorage.
I called for Bill McLinn, a scuba
diver and Kodiak Airways flew
him out. Soon after the Sea Quail
arrived at the anchorage in Ishut
Bay a diver’s inspection was made
and a large hole w'as found on the
port side. Bill McLinn and a scuba
diver who was a crewman on the
Sea Quail started to apply plywood
patches, but because of the extent
of the damage, it was difficult to
stop the flow' of the water entirely.
On Tuesday another pump was
flowm out by Kodiak Airways and
on Wednesday the vessel was
towed in by the Heron, arriving in
Kodiak about 4 p.m. It is now at
the Alaska Packers dock.
The crews of all the vessels put
in long hours and really had a
work out under difficult condi
tions.
Kodiak Electric
Rates - Highest
In A High State
Kodiak—one of the brightest
spots on Alaska's economic hori
zon—also has the unenviable rep
utation of having the state’s
highest electric rates in a state
which tops the rest of the U.S.
An Associated Press report
from Washington and the Fed
eral Power Commission sets up a
typical residential electric bill
for 250 kilowatt hours as of Jan.
1, 1962. followed by Jan. 1, 1961,
with Kodiak topping the list
with a figure of $16 for each
period.
Fairbanks is second with a
$15 and $15 figure for having the
highest rate, followed by the
Chugiak-Eagle River with a $13
and $13.
On the other end of the scale
Juneau has a $5.75 and $5.75
rate; Ketchikan $6.75. and $6.75,
while Anchorage stands at the
$9.40 mark.

Alaska Can’t Afford
A $150,000,000 Luxury
Of A New Capital!
♦
THIS IS WHAT
ALASKANS
HAVE SAID:
B. Frank Heintzleman, Former
Governor: “Even the proposal to
move the Capital is damaging. It
creates concern among prospective
industrialists and investment firms
as to the fiscal responsibility and
future tax demands of our new
state. We will be far better off by
devoting any funds that can be
spared from our more routine pub
lic services to doing the things
which will promote resource use.”
Governor William A. Egan: “I
cannot encourage a move to deva
state th eeconomy of one of our
cities—an action that would most
certainly cause a permanent breach
in our great State. As Governor of
all Alaska, I cannot, in good con
science, go along with the cam
paign to move the Capital.”
Mike Stepovich, Former Governor:
“I believe the Capital should re
main at Juneau. I can’t think of
the State expending the large
amount of money which would be
required moving the Capital when
those funds are so badly needed
for other worthwhile purposes.”
John Butrovich, Long-time Terri
torial Legislator: “I am unalter
ably opposed to moving the Cap
ital. We need all of our funds for
necessary programs . . . schools,
highways, health and welfare, men
tal health hospital, E.S.C., ferry
systems, airports, fisheries reha
bilitation and just the plain every
day operation of the state.”
HIGHER TAXES—MORE DEBT
The proposal to move the State Capital from Juneau looms as the
greatest economic blunder in Alaska history. The probable cost for an
airport alone (needed to serve the remote proposed site—at least 60
miles from Anchorage) is $10,000,000. The most conservative estimate
on the cost to the State of the project is $150,000,000 . . . about five
million dollars more than the minimum funds required by the State
of Alaska in order to build desperately needed schools, hospitals,
roads and other public works. Alaska can’t have her cake and eat it,
too. A totally unnecessary capital move at this time means more taxes,
greater indebtedness, loss of important public works projects. Alaskans
voted “NO” two years ago for these very same reasons. Let your voice
be heard again, loud and clear . . . VOTE AGAINST Initiative No. 1,
November 6.
