THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER ANSWER
Food for Thought
The following is an excerpt from the Alaska Reporting
Service Report No. 200, covering the activities of the Rural Devel
opment Agency.
"In the Lake Iliamna area we are establishing a new'
training program with modern methods of catching and
processing whitefish and lake trout. We have patterned this
program after the training course given for similar purposes
in the Great Slave Lake area in Canada. Although the Lake
Iliamna area people are experienced salmon fishermen this
training is necessary because of a new type of under-ice gear
that is being used. In addition, the fish must be cleaned and
processed properly in order to be shipped in interstate com
merce. Through this program we hope to provide at least 50
jobs in the area. This fresh water fishing will give needed
winter employment and it will establish another industry for
our growing state.”
A letter we received last month from a trucking company,
specializing in hauling frozen fish southbound to the lower 48,
advises that they have recently had a request for large amounts
of White Fish. This from a New York shipper.
Perhaps this is something that can be developed by the Rural
Development Agency in Northwesern Alaska. There may be a
market for Sheefish as well. We are certain that the need for
winter employment exists, and that the transportation companies
will welcome southbound cargo. We are not so sure that the
whitefish abound in commercial quantities here or that there is
a market for sufficient numbers of the sheefish, but we do feel
sure that the state, if made aware of a desire on the part of the
residents, will make it their business to find out.

Council Ponders . . .

This firm contends that they
will put up the money, thus ap
parently satisfying the HHFA,
and in the meantime they will
advertise and sell the bonds on
behalf of the City, for a fee.
This, contended the Council,
may be what is needed in order
that the bonds not be sold at a
time when the bond market is
unfavorable, interest-wise. It is
very possible, concluded the Coun
cil. that later, during the year’s
period that this firm is holding
them, the market will be such
that the City can sell these bonds
at an interest rate of somehing
less than the 5 to 6 per cent which
may be demanded at this time.
Mayor Wilke stated that he has
had a phone call from the HHFA,
and the city now has until Decem
ber 27 in which to comply with
its financing obligation. The
Council has contacted many dif
ferent bonding companies and
none nave indicated interest in
the bonds, as the situation stands
at this time. One firm indicated
that they would be interested if
the bonds wTere of a general obli
gation nature.
In this light, and hitting the note
upon which the meeting closed,
Mayor Wilke advised the Council
that the HHFA has notified him
by phone that they will buy the
bonds at the rate of .0358 per cent j
and grant an additional 40 to 50
days during which the City can
make certain arrangements to
meet new HHFA requirements. It
was reported that the HHFA will
also grant additionally any ex
penses incurred in the construc
tion above and beyond those now
contemplated, but felt necessary
by the government to insure the
permanancy of the project for the
30 year period that they will be
the lien holder. It was pointed out
by the Mayor however, that again
these must be general obligation
bonds, and not the revenue bonds
that voters have authorized the
City to issue.
