CITY COUNCIL TO ASSUME
CONTROL OF UTILITIES SOON
As a result of the special elec
tion held recently, on which occasion
the voters of the town expressed'
their desire for the city to assume
control of the public utilities, the
city council, at a special meeting
held this morning, with Col. Mear?
and Engineer John J. Longacre in'
attendance, accepted the proposal of
Col. Wears to lease the Alaskan
Engineering Commission’s power
plant and telephone system on a
basis that will be mutually satis
factory. Mr. Bamdollar will come
to Xenana from Anchorage in the
very near future to arrange the de-1
tails of the transfer, and it is ex-:
pected the city will be in charge
within the next sixty days.
A number of improvements will be
made at the power plant by the
Commission before the transfer is
made. The boilers already have been
put in first class condition and
turbine engines are to be installed
to elimination vibration and econo
mise in overhead. It is also planned
to build an addition to the power
plant building for the accommoda
tion of the telephone exchance and
it is possible the present telephone
building will be taken over jointly
by the city and the railroad organ
ization for use as a fire department
building. This is a detail, however,
that has not been definitely decided
u Tin n ns vp+
It was pointed out by Col. Mears i
that the leasing arrangement would
not involve the city financially, a-'
would the purchase of a new plant. |
and he expressed the belief, as did j
also Mr. Longacre, that it will be j
possible to operate the present plant j
very economically when the pro
posed changes are made.
