AHA PROJECT
TO GET FIRE
PROTECTION
Because Juneau needs the hous
ing that would be provided by a
proposed 50-unit Alaska Housing
Authority project in West Juneau,
the City Council agreed at a re
gular meeting last night to enter
into an agreement with AHA to
provide fire protection for the pro
ject.
Councilman George Jorgenson
moved that a contract be entered
into on the basis of $625 annual
fee, payable in advance for a min
imum of five calls or less, and that
$125 be charged for each additional
call. S. E. Vermilyea of the AHA.
who was present said that he con
sidered the arrangement fair but
it would have to be approved by
the Federal Housing Authority.
The average cost of a fire call in
Juneau is $125.
There was a heated discussion
on whether or not to carry fire in
surance on 75 percent of the, value
of the new snow loader, new grader
and new truck with Councilman
Bert Caro opposing insuring the
equipment. Councilmen A1 Zenger
and George Jorgenson argued for
it. It was finally decided to call
for bids and passed unanimously.
Boat Harbor Outlet
Another matter that evoked hot
discussion was providing circulation
of water in the small boat harbor
to take care of the winter ice con
dition there. A letter was read
from Lt. Col. G. M. Dorland, act
ing district engineer, U. S. Army,
at Anchorage, saying that the Army
would not issue a permit to cut the
rock breakwater at the northeast
corner of the small boat harbor
in an attempt to provide circula
tion within the harbor. He did not
believe that it would relieve the
ice or floating debris conditions
and said that it would allow ad
verse wave action there.
It was finally decided to call
a special meeting of the council
to meet with a representative of
the Army Engineers the next time
that one was in Juneau and dis
cuss the situation.
Councilman Neilsen moved that
since a radio phone installation
was provided for in the 1951 bud
get that Frank Metcalf, chief of
the Alaska Highway Patrol, be in
vited to the next council meeting
to explain the Patrol's radiophone
and to work out some cooperative
action if posCie. This was agreed
Bids were opened on two tires
and tubes for the grader and the
award was made to R. W. Cowling
for $342.74. The only other bidder
was the Northern Commercial Co.,
with $375.57.
Social Security
Councilman Bert McDowell mov
ed to favor including city employees
in Social Security participation as
soon as it is legally possible. Enab
ling legislation will have to be
passed by the Territorial legisla
ture before the City can take de
finite action. This was agreed.
It was decided to take up un
employment compensation insur
ance action for city employees a!
a later date. There was also some
discussion on a group health insur
ance plan but no action was taken.
A bill for $118.75 from Charles
Goldstein lor damage done to an
elevator and sidewalk last winter
by snow equipment was tabled.
Action was suspended until the
next meeting on the employment
of a fire marshal, because the mat
ter is to come up at a coming
meeting of the Juneau Volunteer
Fire Department.
"No parking signs were autnor
ized for Gastineau Avenue from the
Hope Apartments to the A-J stair
way during the winter months for
the purpose of keeping the street
clear for snow removal.
Councilman McDowell had no re
port on a child welfare worker and
no meeting had been held with the
electricians on code for Juneai
wiring regulations. The electricians
union is to present recommenda
tions in writing.
City Auditor C. J. Ehrendreicl
presented an audit of the cit;
books which will be discussed at th<
next meeting, December 15.
