BOROUGH GROUP
(Continued from page 1)
In addition to passing the mo
tion as to borough boundaries,
the Study Group also unanimous
ly approved a second motion —
namely that the Alaska Legisla
ture be requested to take no ac
tion this session on a mandatory
incorporation of school district
type boroughs as provided in the
draft of the school reorganization
bill. The (reason given was that
there is insufficient time to make
an adequate study for borough
organization and proper elgisla
tion.
“Sectionalism is congenital to
Alaskans,’’ Dr. Joseph Diesher of
Seward remarked when he pre
sided at this second meeting of
the newly organized Kenai Penin
sula Borough Study Group,
Diesher urged that Peninsula
residents study all problems of
the borough situation thoroughly
and to not let sectionalism or
desires of a minority group pre
vent the decision from being one
that will best benefit all Penin
sula communities.

Harry says:
There was trouble in a Wild
Western saloon and guns were
blazing away when in walked
a mild looking man, right thru
the line of fire and up to the
bar where he ordered a drink.
The barkeep peeked at him
from behind the bar, and when
the shooting stopped, congrat
ulated the man on his nerve,
“Oh, I’m safe enough,” the
guy said, “You see, I owe ev
erybody in the place.”

but voted with the majority.
Joe Mfttyi, research analyst for
the Local Affairs Agency in the
Juneau office of Gov. Egan, was
present to offer suggestions and
to answer the many questions put
to him in regard to proposed bor
ough legislation.
Reports of various committee
chairmen were heard and the
legislative committeee, headed by
Mai Cole of Kenai, reported that
a recommendation unanimously
approved at the last meeting had
been forwarded to the legislat
ors. This recommendation was
that in a borough to be comprised
of more than (me election district
at least 250 of the voters in each
election district involved must
sign the petition for the forming
of such a borough.
Considerable discussion cen
tered on school tax, a possible
sales tax, personal and real
property tax, absentee land own
ers and their connection with the
borough picture, and secondary
and pioneer access roads within
a future school boundary.
Mayti advised that the State
Legislature be informed of any
action taken by the group and
that his office he contacted at
any time for future help in work
ing out solutions to the many
problems that may arise before
borough organization is com
pleted.
“Legislators never see the light
until they feel the heat,” added
Diesher, “so let's build a fire un
der them.”
Further study on the borough
and its problems and organiza
tions will be continued at the
next noon luncheon meeting to he
held at Riverside House on March
tenth.

Marine Hauls to Oil Field
Continue Through Inlet Ice
Motor vessels Ohilkoot ami
Pacific, in an unprecedented win
ter time operation, have been
loadng out and hauling oil field
supplies from the Arness Term
inal to Shorty Creek, which is
north of Tyonek, The terminal
is located approximately 17 miles
north of Kenai,
These boats, owned by Rocky
Rothwell of Cordova, have been
ami still are fighting ice floes,
currents and tides in one of the
worst winters on record.
That they are getting through
at all is another example of doing
something regardless of cond
itions, if it has to be done, ac
cording to Jim Arness, owner
operator of the terminal.
Men operating these vessels
have no precedent to follow and
are strictly on their own, As
stated by Bob Glud, captain of
the Pacific, after an ice ridge had
formed alongside the vessel and
then fallen over on the deck
showering tons of ice aboard,
“We just grin and bear It ancl
hope it doesn’t happen again.”
Each trip has been prolonged
due to the terrific ice floes m
Cook Inlet, says Arnes*.
There is not much time for a
“bteather” when the vessels
come in for another load. While
longshoremen are loading them
and oil is being pumped aboard,
crew members are busy making
repairs from the last trip. Then
they are on their way again,
ready fo-i another battle through
the Inlet ice to rihorty Creek and
the new oil field development.
