Problems and opportunities;
facing Ketchikan, where con- j
struction of Alaska’s first pulp
mill is expected to begin early
next year, are outlined in a spe
cial-purpose survey just com
pleted by the Alaska Develop
ment Board.
The report points out the im
pact the entrance of this basic
industry will have on population,
communiy facilities and service
in the Greater Ketchikan area.
Preliminary copies of the study,
written by Ralph Browne, assist
ant manager of the Development
Board, were reviewed by William
Barton, city manager; John Weir,
public utilities manager; J. E.
Danielson, superintendent of the
schools and others in Ketchikan.
Representatives of the U. S. For
est Service and Alaska Public
Works agency also reviewed the
report prior to its final publica
tion.

able by writing the Alaska De
velopment Board, Box 50, Juneau.
NEW BUSINESSES
MUST CHECK WITH OPS
JUNEAU — Persons starting
new businesses should check with ,
the Office of Price Stabilization
first to avoid difficulties later.
Fred G. Hanford, Territorial O. I
P. S. Director, warned this week.
Hanford pointed out that all
new' retail businesses which han
dle merchandise shipped in from
the outside for resale must first
apply to the O.P.S. for approval
of their price lists before placing
goods on sale.
Established businesses which
add new lines or items which
they did not handle during the
base period (December 19-Janu
ary 26) should also apply to the
O.P.S. for approval of their pro
posed ceiling price on that par
ticular article or line, Hanford
said.
Procedures for applying in both
instances are outlined in the reg
ulation. Copies may be obtained,
with instructions, by writing or
contracting the O.P.S. office in
Juneau or any of the branches in
Anchorage. Ketchikan and Fair
banks.
