council GRANTS
EASEMENT FOR
SEAPLANE FLOAT
Steps were taken at a regular
city council meeting last night to
grant an easement to the Territory
of Alaska for the installation of
a public seaplane facility at the
.-mall boat harboar. This will be
forwarded to the Territorial De
partment of Aviation which will
obtain the necessary War Depart
ment permit.
An ordinance was passed on first
reading for the general issue and
sale of: $125,000 worth of general
obligation bonds lor the construc
tion of the fire hall and jail. The
bond issue was approved at an
election in April. 1948. The bonds
will be issued in $1,000 denomina
tions and bear 31 per cent in
terest.
A bid by the Lemon Creek Sand
and Gravel Co to purchase an old
city-owned scoopmobile for $501
was accepted.
Approval was given to the Alaska
Distributors of Seattle for a whole
sale beer license.
A number of matters were dis
cussed regarding sidewalk repairs,
installation of drain pipes in the
Seatter Tract, retaining walls, re
moval of trees from the cemetery,
and a fill to temporarily alleviate
danger by the Perryway trestle.
Discussion for a bluestone tank
for gillnetters at the small boat
harbor came up and it was decided
to wait, until the new approach to
the harbor was completed before
deciding on a location. This led
to consideration of new housing
for the harbormaster.
A motion was passed to allow
90 cenis per square foot as the
base price for new concrete side
walks on which the city pays one
third the cost. The matter of in
crease^ freight costs came up
which will no doubt increase costs
furtMt to 95 cents.

NO PURCHASE OF
NEW FERRY SAYS
COM. HENRY RODEN
An editorial lately published in
the Anchorage Times, stated that
the Territory had purchased "a
larger, ocean-going ship” for the
Juneau-Haines run to be used in
stead of the Chilkoot. present ferry
which the Territory bought from
Robert Sommers and Steve Homer
and associates last month.
In an interview with Finance Com
missioner Henry Roden today Ro
den said there was no truth to the
statement.
' It is not the Territory’s desire
to enter into the ferry business,"
he said. "What we want to do is
eventually get rid of the line to a
private operator, or to the Alaska
Road Commission which has evi
