COMMUNICATION
Dear Mr. Editor:
I was Interested in the statement
issued by Mr. Schwamm in last
evenings paper. The main core of
the letter seemed to hinge around
the fact that Juneau was going to
suffer because of the exposure of
the Palmer Airport deal. To me
this is Just a mild form of subter
fuge and I don't believe the people
of Juneau should have to swallow
it. The Juneau Empire was just
one of a number of papers that
printed the story after the Fair
banks News-Miner headlined it.
Why Mr. Schwamm should take the
attitude of blaming Juneau for
wanting to read the news is beyond
me.
Juneau has had an active Air
port committee working on the air
port extension for some two years.
This committee has overcome many
obstacles seemingly put in their
way.
In a statement Mr. Schwamm
made early this summer, he said
Juneau could not expect any work
this year but it was possible that
the extension would be made next
year. With a million dollar pro
gram it’s a disgrace to place the
Capital City at the end of the list.
Palmer, which is only 48 miles from
two df the largest airports in the
Territory was put at the head of
the list. I would be interested in
having Mr. Schwamm explain why
the Capital City did not receive
more cooperation from the Aero
nautics commission. With so much
double talk being printed these
days, I would like the record kept
straight on this issue.
Yours truly,
Signed: Marcus F. Jensen
