al weeks. Several new specialty
numbers will be included in this
years performance, under the di
rectorship of Keith Stanton.
Emil Ganschow, stage manag
er, ’ announced the purchase of
three new spotlights that will be
added to the Kiwanis stage props.
These lights will be available to
other local organizatiorfs on a ren
tal basis, following the show, he
said.
ME A City Council
continued from page 1
electricity has been installed,
members pointed out to the coun
cil.
The question of whether REA
had issued a stop order on ex
pansion within the city unless a
franchise could be obtained led to
the appearance of Stuart Hamil
ton. general field representative
of REA in Alaska who suggested
that because he had missed earli
er discussions, the council direct
questions that he would attempt!
to answer.
Councilman Kincaid asked if it
was the policy of REA not to fi
nance any major expansion in an
incorporated area without a
franchise.
“Off hand, I'd say yes,” Hamil
ton answered, “although that is
not a hard and fast rule.”
“Would that be so in this area?”
Kincaid then asked.
“As far as I know at this time.
REA, in condition, is a banker.
They have loaned a lot of money
they expected to get back within
35 years with interest. They
watch their loans and help by ad
vising their customers.” Hamil
ton said. MEA has spent a lot of
money erecting poles and addit
ional poles needed for expansion
would cost a lot of money. With
out a franchise Hamilton said,
MEA could be told to move these
poles and such a move would cost
thousands of dollars. This is one >
of the reasons why REA recom
mends a franchise. The next city
election could sweep out .the
present council and they might
make recommendations contrary j
to what this group would decide.
It was pointed out to Hamilton
that only two council seats and
that of the mayor will be vacated
this Fall.
Kincaid asked if economically
speaking Hamilton thought that
anytime in the future anyone
would try to duplicate the pres
ent system. Hamilton answered
him in the negative.
City Attorney Harold Butcher
clarified the pole removal by stat
iittfMjftffmfijffitffftftfMfffimrirtnfiffftifftfiinti
ing that the city, like the high
way department, could ask that
poles that might be obstructing
be moved, but not the whole sys
tem as stated by Hamilton.
When asked about the fourth
wire needed by the city to the
reservoir, Mrs. Parks asked if
MEA is dealing with the city or
Alaska Public Works and added
when told that they are dealing
with the city, that no decision
had been made by the MEA
board.
“Why were we not told before i
that this wire would be neces- j
sary?” Mrs. Parks asked.
"We did not know ourselves,” j
was the answer from the city
council.
Cv Brewer, MEA manager ask-:
ed if the association was ever j
contacted as to what type service
might be available for the line, i
Mayor Hagen told him that the j
city had never been informed
what type would be needed.
Mrs. Parks then asked if the.'
council thought it fair to ask‘
MEA to run another line costing
from $1200 to $1600 when it will
now take 38 years to amortize the
cost of the wires already instal
led for the water system. .“Basic
ally speaking, “she said, “who
will pay for this new line, MEA
or city?”
Following further discussions,
MEA board members and Hamil
ton recessed for a discussion and
brought back the decision that
with further cooperation from the
city, MEA will install the fourth
line if better cooperation is evi
dent from the city. Mrs. Parks re
marked that the pole ordinance
needs changes and added that
MEA wants no friction with the
city. Councilwoman Mears sug
gested that if MEA board mem
bers would care to sit in with the
city planning committee they
would be welcomed.
Mrs. Oscar Anderson of Big
Lake was flown to Providence
Hospital in Anchorage by a CAP
mercv olane March 30. She is
reported as resting comfortably.
