It is ray firm belief the commiesioners
and iudgos of the election hold on March
14th were acting in the public interest,
as they understood it * and as provined
by law, and*, unless and until it in prov
ed thoy violated the faith reposed in
thorni I think they are entitled to dofond
themool'-os against any charges made by
having the cusc hoard here ivi Dillingham,
where it can be done without great expense
to themselves, rather than to pay out
several hundred dollars each to go to
Anchorage *
While it is true the hearings would
be held earlier if the date were net
changed, and thus appear to be advantag
eous, the fact, as it appears to me is,
if it is necessary to have any hearing at
all, the date of incorporation of thi3
district would be so late that the pro
posed program for this year would un
doubtedly be up3ct in any case, so there
is no practical difference, from that
viewpoint, whether the hearing is held
in April or in June#
While it may inconvenience some of the
interested parties to be present at a
hearing in Dillingham in June, still,
the Floating Court has generally occn
hold before the commencement of the fish
ing season in the past and there is no
reason to think it will be otherwise this
year, and on the whole« I think the in
convenience oo the interested parties will
be loss by having the hearing in
Dillingham rather than in Anchorage*
Furthermore, I want to hear this case,
and I do not think it should be necessary
to transport myself to Anchorage to do so*
If there have been irregularities, I v/ant
to know about thorn and so do all the othor
people here who voted in the election*
All I know at present is that vague and
indefinite statements have boon made that
the election was not conducted right* I
want to see the clud removed and our
Public Utility District get away to a good
start, and I feel the place to cloar up the
matter is hero, where both points of view
can be presented without unnecessary
expense *
I do not think I should bo doing my
duty ao President of the Dillingham Town
Mooting, by virtue of which offico I fool
I am indirectly responsible to the
community for trie conduct of the Public
Utility Commitqo and its acts* if I did
not defend these committee members to tho
fullest orfccnt of my ability and means*
I should oc ashamed to .be a member of a
public body which authorized any committee
or member cf ouch committee, to spend his
or her time and effort performing what the
community considers a needed soivioo*

I do not wish tc whitewash or cover up
anything that may have boon wrong* I
do not desire to hide or protect any_
individual or group guilty of violating
any lav/ governing rubaic Utility ]L. cc^ions,
but T. do not want to sec mountains made
of molehills « If the alleged violatx^ns
are so serious they cannot be oycrlcckod
and dropped, particularity an view of
tho large vote cast for incorporation,
and the 'apparent desire of nearly all
voters that tho Public Utility be cot up
and allowed to function, and it any hear*
ing is to be hole in Archerago, then I
think direct charges should to cade nun*
ing the individuals v/ho arc alleged to bo
guilty* I think this is only fair, for
tho reason that an individual thus named
is required to spend his time and money
in Anchorage to cloar himself, and, if
he can prove he is not guilty of tho
alleged violation, ho will >.hor, a_ ho
so desires, have an opportunity to falo
a suit for slander or libel to vindicate
his honor and remove tho blot which nay
have been cast upon his integrity**
However, I am hopeful wo may bo ablo to
adjust our differences regarding tho
election to the ond that a hca* xng in
Court will net bo nocossory, and I
believe it can bo dona witaout anyono.
Haying to sacrifice any par^ of i*.s. dig*
nity/or any of his rights as a.citizen
in a democratic socioty* I believe *Ms n
can be done since it appoars to bc^prao-Athg
tically universal dosiro that tho fnolle
Utility District itself should not bo
destroyed in tho process of looking into
the relatively loss important matters*
Theso are only my viows, and I huvo no
assurance as yet that any objections will
bo withdrawn*
