Boat Harbor Rates
Set by Council
Business relating to the Juneau
small boat harbor took up most
of last night’s regular council meet
ing.
An ordinance on operation of the
harbor was passed on second read
ing. It included rental rates for
space for boats, safety and sanita
tion regulations as well as penalties
for violations.
A regular monthly rate for re
served stalls is to be S3 per mouth
or any part of a month, plus ti cents!
per month per foot on overall length'
of the vessel. Unreserved space will ]
take the 5-cent rate straight. Rate',
for scows, floats, rafts, boathouse
and other large craft will be five
by the harbormaster at direction ol
the council.
No charge will be made for boats
moored in the harbor less than 72
hours. This Is to accommodate ves
sels arriving for supplies.
All collections are to be handled
by the city clerk's office.
The ordinaee creates the harbor
master's position. He will have
charge of the harbor and all facil
ities, including the grid. He is given
regular police powers to enforce the
ordinance and will take registration
of all vessels using the harbor.
Other Regulations
Safety regulations relating to fire
hazards, handling of inflamable
materials, low speed limits to pre
vent heavy wake in the harbor, and
• handling of garbage were included.
Penalties for violations are up to
$100 fine, 30 days in jail or both,
plus costs.
There are to be no mooring lines
attached to the electric meter posts.
The harbor committee was given
authority to order locks for the
meter boxes.
Problems insrussed
Harbormaster Lynn Geiger was
present and presented problems re
lating to the harbor. Some of the
matters he brought up were: (1)
necessity of a public phone there;
(2) repair to water lines; (3) sep
arate water line for the Coast Guard.
(4) edging for new ramp, and (5) a
view location for the harbormaster's
house and office.
There was a long discussion re
garding a new house for the harbor
master and it was referred to the
hnrbor committee.
An ordinance for the issuance of
$125,000 in bonds for the new fire
hall and temporary jail was passed
on third and final reading, provid
ing the Grande Co., whieh is hand
ling the bond sale, agrees to arrange
for a local bank as well as a Seattle
bank to handle the bonds. This
arrangement would eliminate the
bank exchange rate for local buyers
Star Hill Playground
Councilman Joe Thibodeau re
ported that Elroy Ninnis had leveled

Star Hill, that W. J. Manthey will
donate gravel and sand for topping
and the boys living on the hill had
agreed to spread it. Thibodeau re
quested that the city provide $25 for
posts, lumber and backboards for
basketball goals. The council agreed.
The street committee is to invest
igate the sinking concrete by Jor

Juneau Groceries
Survey Starts Soon;
Lists to be Similar to
Wartime OPA Dockets
Surveys of wholesale, and retail
grocery costs in Alaska wJlL soot) be
undertaken by the Territorial .Office
of Price Stabilization, it was an
nounced by Fred G. Henford, Ala k;
OPS director. „
The survey is inteniWWW establish’
a bisis for a possible program df
posted dollars-and-cratw ■ commurn
ity prices" in Alaska-gb>tary«*Kr'es
Hanford said he has been advised
by J. Herbert Meigli:^»t dirct^r cl
Region 14 in WashirtgtbTt.'T).fc.,'tTiat
the survey will be similar to on_e
now under way in the statue, al
though not as extenslcf in scope.
Within the next few weeks teams
from 84 OPS district offices iu the
states will visit 2.000 retail tvAd'hOlO
wholesale groceries to gather in
formation on what grocers pay for
foods and the prices they charge.
Posted ceiling prices lor each com
modity will result frotu. these
vevs.
Meighan, who heads OPS activi
ties in all territories and possessions,
said he believed a program of posted
“community prices" could be of
“material benefit” in most terri
tories. He said preliminary eorveys
in Alaska would probably start early;
in August. The territorial office hasj
urged that a survey be conducted.'
Chief purpose of ‘thdt S urveys,:
Meighan .said, will be to ascertain it'
there is sufficient staJhlifljf in the
prices of a number of standard groc--1
ery items to make a “community
pricing” program possible.
It was pointed out tijat, £Jje "level
ing-off” phase of the past few
months has almost been achieved
and that a plateau !of: ptabillty is
necessary before posted ceiling
prices can be put into effect.
“Community pricing was a famil
iar and popular method of price
control during World War II,” he
said. “Under this systelh, the coun
try is divided into relatively smjll
market areas, and grocery ceilings
were established fog .„.,aaqh,. .ajj;a ■
based on factors of transportation
and other costs. Prices thus arrived
at are then printed on chart*, and
posted in the stores where all cus
tomers may see them.”
a basis for a possible program of
veys are conducted in the territor
ies, information gathered from groc- |
ers will be held in strict! confi- j
dence by the OPS.
