3 COUNCILMEN FAIL
TO SHOW UP; ACTION
ON ISSUES DELAYED
Due to the lack of a quorum at
a special Juneau City Council
meeting last night no action could
be taken on matters slated to come
up. Absent were Councilmen Bert
Caro, Ed Neilson, and Joe Thibo
deau.
It had been previously agreed to
meet w'ith fishermen and boat
owners to take up the building of
a new approach to the small boat
harbor and to request aid from
She Off ..e of the Territorial High
way engineer.
Trevor Davis was present to re
present the JunetiU Yacht Club
and small boat owners. Represent
ing the Vessel Owners Association
were John Lowell, secretary; Oscar
Oberg and Larry Fitzpatrick. From
the United Trollers of Alaska were
B H. (Jack) Manery; Andy Barlow,
executive secretary; O. G. Nolde,
board member of Local 100; and
Carl Weidman. For the halibut
fishermen were Ed Skaret, Bernt
Alstead and Pete Hildre. James
L. McNamara, city engineer and
Frank Metcalf, highway engineer
were present.
City Attorney Howard Stabler
and Pauline Washington were also
there.
Because no formal action could
be taken, an informal discussion
took place in which McNamara ex
plained the tentative plans for the
new harbor approach w'hich is to
be located between No. 2 and No. 3
floats and was estimated at a cost
of around $16,000. Those present
examined the plans and were
agreed as to location, size and type
of structure. It was also agreed that
the City should go ahead and make
a formal request for gas tax harbqf
improvement funds to launch the
project.
Weidman pointed out that it was
urgent that the necessary creosote
piling be ordered as soon as pos
sible. Metcalf read figures showing
that of the 1950 gas tax returns
50.2 percent was derived from autos,
31.8 percent from aviation, and 18
percent from boats. Of that 18 per
cent 77 percent of it had gone for
harbor improvements in the First
Division. He explained that the
money was expended as it came in!
and according to needs. He stated j
that it was the policy of the de
partment to cooperate with com
munities requesting aid.
Councilmen present request May
or Waino Hendrickson to make an
other attempt to call a special
meeting today or tomorrow to dis
pose of the necessary action to get
the .small boat harbor project un
derway, and to also elect u c-uncll
man to replace A1 /.enger whose
resignation becomes effectrve Janu
ary 1.
Efforts by Mayor Hendrickson to I
obtain a quorum for a special coun
cil meeting tonight were futile.
Councilmen Ed Nielson, Bert Caro
and Joe Thibodeau declared they
would be unable to attend.
The next regular council meeting
will be January 5.
