In 1962, there were 1,641 ves
sels licensed to fish in Cook Inlet
and a considerable number of
them visited the Kenai port at one
time or another during the season.
The Commission is in need of
data and facts and figures relat
ing to damage to boats from rocks
in the river, amount of time lost
waiting for tides to enter or
leave the Kenai River or in wait
ing to unload fish. An estimate of
the cost of damage or the income
lost due to these lay-over periods
will aid the Commission in pre
paring a feasibility study of the
need for a Small Boat Harbor.
Information should contain the
name and number of the boat, ex
tent of damage, time lost, cost
or repairs, and also an estimate
of fish lost by not being able to
fish due to these lay-over periods.
Such information should be direct
ed to Small Boat Harbor, Box

Borough Organization Study Resumes
April 20, Soldotna to Host Meet
(Continued from Page l)
and for determination of whether
the borough shall be incorporated
as a first class or second class
borough.
Choquette said the public hear
ings regarding the proposed in
corporation of the Homer-Ninil
chik area as a borough of the
first class, called last weekend at
Soldotna, Ninilchik, Anchor Point
and Homer, were set “to get the
feeling of the people living in
the fringe area.”
Representatives of the Ninil
chik area were present to voice
opposition to Ninilchik being in
cluded in the Homer-Ninilehik
borough, saying residents there
were in favor of a Peninsula
wide borough.
Representatives from Homer,
also present, said that although
boundaries of the proposed bor
ough would divide the school dis
trict—which was meeting with
opposition from Ninilchik — the
boundaries had been suggested by
the State and followed the Sew
ard Base Line.
Although it was announced the
City of Kenai had recently passed
a resolution endorsing the efforts
of Homer in establishing its own
borough, the general consensus of
opinion as expressed by the ma
jority of those present at the Sol
dotna meeting was in favor of a
borough encompassing Election
Districts No. 9 and No. 10, or the
entire Peninsula.
Choquette, chairman of the
State Boundary Commission, and
Cease, director of the Local Af
fairs Agency, said a decision in
regard to the Homer-Ninilchik
borough probably would not be
forthcoming for a couple of weeks
until evidence presented in all
four public meetings- had been
weighed and considered.
The group was warned that all
areas in Alaska were to be incor
porated as organized boroughs by
Jan. 1, 1964. and that if the re
remainder of the Peninsula did not
organize by local option prior to
Oct. 1, that under mandatory HB
90, such organization would be di
rected by the secretary of state
Nushagak area and in the gener
al hospital at Seward, where she
met and married Hall. He preced
ed her in death and will be re
membered also as a long-time em
ployee of Alaska Steamship Co.
Mrs. Hall was noted for her
ready willingness to help in case
of accident or illness and will be
mourned by many Alaskans who
knewr her as a nurse and friend.
