Jo the citizens of Iomer, Flasha
The Territory of Glaska, from
friends available for the construction
of woads, Sirfields and onbor
improvements is desirous ona willing
to help the community of Iomer by providing moneys for the construc
ion of a municipal dock. It is however the responsibility of the
community of I omer to be in a position to assure the Territory of
Glasha that such a dock will be in the hands of a representative
municipal government who are truls the elected representatives of
the people of the community and who will take steps for the mainten
ance and repair and operation of such c dock toward the best interest
of all members of the community.
In order to have such a responsible municipal covernment with
which the Territory ccm deal it is my recommendation that the peopl
of & omer immediately take steps to organize their community. I re
commend that the people of our community toke prompt cction to org
ize a public utility ist under the lows of Claska with which th
Department can deal in all ting moners for and in making arrangemen
for the operation, management etc. fur dock program in omer. And
after such a utility istrict is organized that responsible members
of the community be elected to handle the community cffairs which ma
be placed under their iurisdiction,
The outcome of the Community's cction in regard to establish
inc o representative local government with which the Territory of
Alesha com enter int business dealings will targely determine the
extent to which the Territory cam & in helping crect local public
improvements such as a dock etc.
