MEA (cont.)
being tallied, it was
asked from the floor
that reasons' for the
recent requested re
signation of MEA’s
manager, head of the
Valley electrical co
op for the past six
years, be aired. John
McCarre.v, Anchorage
attorney v;ho presided
at the meeting, asked
that the subject be
discussed in commit
tee rather than in
public meeting.
At the insistence
of members, the mat
ter we s d *scussed on
the floor. He. E.
Eryan, REA represent
ative here, brought
charges of ineffic
iency and. disinterest
to duty against the
recent manager. .He
pointed out that MEA
had been on the verge
of defaulting on its'
loan, primarily be
cause duties of the
manager v/ere not dis
charged promptly and
efficiently.
M.nbers expressed
themselves as satis
fied with the explan
ation, after Charles
Schaefer asked that
the report be read
into the record that
the manager was "an
honest, religious man
of good character and'
that his inefficiency
could stem from other
things, particularly
geographical, than
from dishonesty."
Questioned con
cerning the advisa
bility of hiring an
other manager at this
time, Mr. Bry~n poin
ted out that the em
ployment of a new man
could cause "A r~ise
in r^tes of as much
as 20 percent.",
