Lawyer’s Car
Hits Train
At Eklutna
An automobile, driven by Wen
dall Kay of Anchorage, who was
accompanied by Mr. Kay and
Herman Ross, disputed right of
way with a freight train at Eklu
tna crossing about mid-day on
Dec. 31, to become first in a se
ries of highway accidents in the
Valley over the weekend. Kay
and Ross, both Anchorage attor
neys, escaped almost unscathed.
Mrs. Kay was hospitalized with
numerous lacerations and bruises
but was dismissed from Valley
Hospital the following day.
Highway patrolman, A1 Lue
bcke, said today that it seemed
almost unbelievable that the car's
occupants escaped death. The
automobile was totally demolish
ed after being struck twice by
the northbound freight. The pa
trolman said there were blood
stains even on the top of the ve
hicle
Both Ross and Kay were
thrown only partially clear of the
automobile, which struck the en
gine of the train. The impact ap
parently threw the vehicle up
into the air and turned it so that
the car was struck again before
it came to rest in a gravel pit
about 10 feet up the track.
Members of the train crew
helped the Anchorage trio aboard
and brought them to Matanuska,
where Dr. Raymond Coffin was
waiting. All three were brought
to Valley Hospital, but only Mrs
Kay was hospitalized overnight.
The two attorneys were en
route to Palmer to meet with the
Valley dairymen whom they rep
resent in the dispute between
seven Co-Op dairymen and the
Co-Op Must Pay Taxes
On Their Dairy Building
The Matanuska* Valley Farm
ers’ Co-Operating Association
must pay taxes on the building in
which the Anchorage Dairy is lo
cated, Judge Anthony Dimond
ruled last week in deciding the .
L. D. Roach vs. MFVCA court
case. Roach, acting as guardian
of Arno Liebscher, who is con- (
fined to an institution Outside,
had asked for cancellation of the
Co-Op lease, which no longer >
covers taxes on the property. \j
Under the . decision handed
down by Judge Dimond, land
taxes will continue to be paid by
Liebscher, with the Co-Op pay
ing on the building as well as the
property located within the build
ing. The ruling is retroactive,
but Co-Op manager, James Wil
son, said today that he did not
know how many years back it
would reach.
Mr. Wilson pointed out that the
Co-Op paid the building taxes
last year, in order to prevent its
sales for taxes.
Judge Dimond’s ruling further
required that the Co-Op pay all
costs of the court case.
