MORE FACTS ON BOND ISSUE

In the coming April municipal election. the people of Juneau are to vote on the a-important subject Of whether they desire bonds to purchase the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company and the two water companies.
 Tn the light of Investigating the adyisbility of purchasing the light company, alone, at cost of $9OO 900 for which bonds would be issued the following items are of interest:
 Over the last 10 years the profits of this company have been approximately s4l520 The low est year was 1886 when profits listed at s26.836. and the highest last years s57340 which does not include profits from the sale of merchandise.
 As near can find out the minimum interest rate which the city would pay on the s90000O bond issue would be 2l2 per cent. To wipe out the bond issue period of 20 years would require payments principal of s45o0O year alone for 20 years the first year the interest alone, would amount to S22 800
 Thus for the first year, the light company under municipal operation would have to produce S67,500 in revenue to take care of the bonds-somehng which hasn't been able to do in any year in it's history This would mean only thing-rates would have to be increased substantially to meet the obligations There is TO other answer.
 The city could expect slightly better returns, of course because the Federal taxes would not have to
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-03-06

be paid. But this would not make up or even begin to make up. the difference.
 Taking the average yearly profits of S4l520, even the twentieth year. the obligations would be greater than the return. Payment the principal would be s45 00O and interest would be SLIPS, the amount by which the interest is reduced each year
 It seems obvious that light rates would be higher at least for the 20 years So what advantage to the people of Juneau in buying the light company?
 It obvious that there would be no profits to the city for the next 20 years-this discounting earlier promise that profit from the light company would reduce property taxes. So what advantage there.
 Here is another thing. The interest. alone. on s900000 bond issue at 2l2 per cent would amount to the stupendous of s236 25o 20 yearsthus the original figure of ssOOOO0 expands to S1136,25O
 The foregoing does not take into account funds that would have to be expended over the next 20 years for maintenance and needed improvements Several hundred thousand dollars would also be need ed for this purpose and could only be secured by raising the light rates.
 More facts this proposed bond issue will be coming to light soon, and will be presented

NAVAL MORALE

But the most important thing which Admiral Nimitz overlooked in his whitewaSh was its effect upon the morale of enlisted men and younger officers. This columnist has received various critical letters from men in the Pacific Fleet about the Admirals automobile deal. Here is an excerpt from one of them:
 Admiral Cooke's car was aboard our ship. Capt Joseph Connally, Commandant of the Naval Operat- ing Base, Okinawa, couldn't un- derstand why Cooke wanted the car in Shanghai instead of Tsing- tao where Admiral Cooke is based. At that time practically everyone in the 7th Fleet knew about the big deal concerning the car
 We were supposed to carry the car direct to Shanghai after we had first stopped at Okinawa and Yokosuka, Japan. However, we ran into foul weather and were de- layed in unloading at Okinawa. Sc the order was given: Admiral Cooke wants that car in Shanghai

Encouraging, Even if Slight
(New York Sum

On the basis of the study of twenty different industries all classified non-durable the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that productivity increased in the third quarter of l946 by something like per cent over the period of l945 It is slight but encouraging sign. From the nature of what they made the twenty raturaly had few serious problems of recohversion. Expenditures for plant and equipment in all industry have been running at two or three times the pre-war amount presumably the industries studied got their share of this investment for improved methods of production Dr. Evan Clague the Commissioner of Labor Statistics is not likely to be contradicted when he says that the improvement of basic tools of industry is probably the most important factor in productivity But with the improvement of basic tools other factors have operated as to make any improvement in productivity in industries invisible to the naked eye Perhaps the rise detected in few industries will be found in others. It is to be hoped for in that in in productivity will be found the real basis for improving the standard of living.

HOUSING PROGRAM vANISHES

It has been just about a year since President Truman summoned Wilson Wyatt, ex-Mayor of Louis vile, to Washington and told him to make mo small plans" for vet erans' housing. Wyatt was instruc- ted to push housing as we pushed the war Instead ol foxholes, vet terans were promised they would soon have roofs over their heads
 Today, however, it looks as if the last feeble attempt to carry out this premise is about to go up in smoke.
 Little by little the real-gstate and construction lobbies have Whittled the program down. Little by little. the puny men around President Truman have yielded Even the kingmakers of the Amer ican Legion. an organization sup posed to protect the veterans, have ended up on the side of the real estate lobby.
 Climax came last week when Michigan's Congressman Jesse Vol colt, Republican Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Con- mittee, announced that he would move to repeal the Patman Act This is the basic law which per mits the Government to control nonresidential building, allocate materials, and give preference tc veterans. If this act is repealed not one vestige Of the original housing program will be left.
 Frank Creedon and Ray Foley the feeble gentlemen appointed by Truman to carry on the housing program, may issue few state ments defending the Patman Act hut they will not stage real bat tie
 T am no crusader" Creedon told his friends last week.
 Therefore, unless homeless vet erans Lombard Congress, particu- larly Republican leaders, the basic legislation for the housing pro, gram will be wiped off the books
 Note-Controls over concrete soil pipe, one of the vital materials for housing, are being removed this week. Soil pipe is still in short supply, and removal of controls simply means that it will be much harder for veterans to build new homes.

owned by Adm. c. M. Cooke, Jr., Commander of U. s. Naval Forces in the Western Pacific Admiral Cooke had his car shipped to Shanghai where autos bring exor- bitant prices. and sold it.
 Following publication Of this col umn. Admiral Cooke was ordered to Washington and asked for an explanation All the facts as pub lished in the column were admitted by the Navy, but in the end the old Annapolis tradition of Admiral protects Admiral was too much. and Admiral Nimitz issued a white wash
 He explained that naval officers have a right to ship their house. hold effects from one permanent station to another at Government expense and to use Government radio facilities for personal mes sages provided they do not inter- fere with official business.
 In protecting his fellow Admiral however, Admiral Nimitz over looked several things. One was that Admiral Cooke's automobile was sent at Government expense to Shanghai, whereas Cookes base was Tsingtao. Therefore, he did not { transport his property from one permanent base to another Second, some of the radio mes sages sent at Government expense were priority messages, therefore rated ahead of Government mes Sages.
 Another interesting fact was that the executive officer of the ship that transported Admiral Cooke s car was his son-in-law. Also there seemed to be something rather unusual about the deal, else It. Com. Donald Shaul, in charge of port facilities in Shanghai, would not have wired the Admiral's aide ill Tsingtao:

UNDER THE DOME

So many freshmt-l Congressmen are being mistaken for page boys that a new order has been issued requiring page boys in the House of Representative to wear uni- forms. Among the new young Congressmen are George Sarbacher of Philadelphia and Jack Kennedy of Boston, ex-Naval hero and son of the former Ambassador to Great Britain. The other day, an old time Congressman saw one of his colleagues in the rear of the Sen ate Chamber and snapped his fling CTS to summon him, mistaking the youngster for a page. Fifty pages in the House will now have to buy their own uniforms by April l.
