Calvin E. Pool
Assistant Alaska Director
Office of Price Administration
The first price move in Alaska
regarding public utility rates by
the Office of Price Administration
was announced today by Calvin E.
Pool, Assistant Director. The case
resulted from the action of the
Seward Light and Power Company in
raising telephone rates without
first submitting them for approval
to the OPA. Complaints by labor
unions and other interested parties
in Seward brought the matter to the
attention of the OPA.
"in answer to our reqiest, the
Soward Li0ht and Power Company read
ily withdrew the rate increase”,
Mr. Pool Stated. "The company
should be complimented on it's will
ingness to cooperate in the fi&ht
.against inflation."
Farm Insurance plan Suggestion.
Since the farmers of the Matanus
ka Project must have some kind of
insurance on the buildings to com
ply with the Realty Contract it
seems to the Editor that we might
consider some plan that would en
able us to get our insurance cheap
er and still keep the money invest
ed in the premiums in the Valley.
How about Grange or Farmers Union
Insurance or a local Mutual Coop,
If 100 farmers paid $25.00 each
for a working fund and then an as
sessment of $25.00 when each fire
occured, a saving of at least one
half could be made apparently.
Let the Editor know what you
think about it. 7/rite in and give
, suggestions.
