No Matanuska-Susitna Hearing—Coass
(Continued from page 1)
general area may De ior in
vestigative purposes only).
When Captain Cook borough
hearings were held in Anchor
age and the Matanuska Valley,
Vroman stated, Cease indicated
that the Matanuska-Susitna pe
tition was under review and
hearings would be held at a
later date (in answer to a spe
cific question at the May 25
Wasilla hearing), but that Lo
cal Affair action indicates
otherwise.
After the Captain Cook hear
ings, the boundaries of the
proposed borough were en
larged to include District 1
without an investigation by
the Local Affairs Agency be
ing completed and withoul
hearings on the Matanuska-Su
sitna petition being held.
It was suggested that the
action of enlarging the bound
aries would indicate that the
Captain Cook petition as sub
mitted does not meet the stand
ards of borough government.
The Anchorage area has an
existing school district, public
utilty districts, and city gov
ernment. That the Captair
Cook proposed borough would
not meet standards was never
suggested at the hearings.
The Matanuska-Susitna del
egation averred that at this
point any action by the Local
Affairs Agency should have
ceased until a hearing was held
as required by law within the
area proposed for incorporation
as the Matanuska-Susitna bor
! ough, rather than tabling the
i petition without following it
up.
Another point brought o u t
j at the hearing was that the
: Boundary Commission set a
j precedent by accepting the
I suggestion of eight persons
from the Matanuska Valley,
contained in a letter, that the
two boroughs be combined —
that the way is thus paved for
any group to call for the con
| sideration of a proposed bor
ough without following the re
quirements of the law for sub
mission of a petition.
The delegation requested
that the Local Affairs Agency
withdraw its recommendatior
| as contained in the newspa
pers and in a wired news re
lease; that a hearing be held
within the proposed Matanus
ka-Susitna borough area; and
MILK PRICES
COMPARE WELL
I
i Matanuska Valley m i 1h
prices, in ratio to Alaska wage
| standards, compare favorabl>
to milk costs in other states
i Sig Restad, director of the Di
vision of Agriculture, said yes
terday at the Matanuska Val
ley Chamber of Commerce
luncheon meeting. He noted
June Dairy Month, a time
: when members of the dairy in
dustry get together to publicize
their products.
The Alaska hourly wage oi
$5.86 cents an hour, almosl
double the $3.01 rate elsewhere
can be compared to the Anch
orage area milk price of 45c £
quart and the stateside price oi
26c a quart.
Restad emphasized the neec
to cut production costs so as tt
make fresh milk more competi
tive with concentrates and re
constituted milk.
Seventy per cent of the eco
nomy in the Matanuska Vallej
is dependent on dairy sales
which gross $2 million annual
ly, Restad said. He added tha1
the average dairy farmer in
vestment is well over $100,000
A guest at the meeting wa:
Don Coolidge of the D. C. Ham
ilton architects’ firm in Anch
orage, who presented a sketch
of the proposed new Matanuske
Maid Creamery, to be con
structed in Spenard.
Mrs. Betty Mean announ
ced that Gerald Earp, one of
the sponsors of the proposed
food processing plant in the
Matanuska Valley, will be
guest speaker at a Chamber
of Commerce luncheon on
Wednesday. July 3.
■
mat inis petition w wmiucicu
on its merits, as meeting the
standards for incorporation, by
the wishes of the people of
that area; with regard for the
intent that the Matanuska-Su
sitna area (Seventh Election
District) be incorporated as a
borough as expressed by the
legislature of Alaska, and also
that the Anchorage area should
have its own borough as asked
by 4,000 signatures on the
Captain Cook petition.
