E. Glen Wilder, Alaska Housing
Authority executive, was a visitor
at the Douglas City Council meet
ing last Wednesday evening in a
special session. •
Wilder outlined the problems in
starting the Douglas Housing pro
ject—which is now a year behind,
with construction supposed to have
been completed during last sum-1
mer. The main reason lor his Coun- (
cil visit was to explain the reasons
behind the Alaska Housing Authori
ty’s decision to erect 50 housing
units on undeveloped land, outside
the incorporated city. The project
definitely is of interest to Douglas
because it involves the Douglas In-,
dependent School District.
Business coming before the coun
cil that evening included reading
of an amended dog ordinance which
would double the license rates for
both male and female dogs, and
provide a dog pound facility for
unclaimed dogs.
It was announced by Mayor Pu
sich that fuil settlement had been
made by the insurance companies
on the wind-wrecked cannery struc
tures, which suffered In this win

the possibility of the Douglas Vol
