in efiacD and preceding years, as herein shown, was based on the higher light and power rates then in effect. In 1946 the then City Council effected a rate reduction (effective November l, 1946), which,
 according to AEL&P Company fig ures, resulted in a saving of some $l6,00000 annually to light and pow CT users. It logically follows that the utility suffers loss of revenue in like sum.
 Black 6 Veach, Consulting En-
 gineers, employed by the City in
 1946, appraised the value of the AEL&P Company property at the sum of $1,087,47 Reproduction cost new); or S808, ,4450O reproduc-
 tion cost new less depreciation) i;
 and in arriving at both figures al-
 lowed s2o0,O0Ooo for developed and
 undeveloped water rights. The AEL&P Company claimed at the
 rate hearing S4O0,0OOoO for such i rights.
 What has been said here of the
 AEL&P Company applies with equal force to the other two utilities
 on the ballot-the Juneau Water
 Company. and the Nelson Water
 Company. The revenues and opera | ing costs of the two water companies are different from those of the | AEL&P Company; but the basic
 facts stated (excepting figures are
 substantially the same, It is pertin-
 ent to note that Black and Veatch
 recommended that neither water company be purchased at the quot
 cd prices.
 One final and pertinent fact
 should not be overlooked. The City of Juneau has the legal au- thority to raise or lower public utility rates and charges. In | 1946 the City Council lowered the AEL&P Company rates and saved the rate payers some S16,O00o0 an nually If the City of Juneau pur- chases any of the utilities on the ballot and the rates now in effect

the increased City load. Both in the mill and in the mine the company is considering the use of addi- tional power in order to reduce the cost of operation. The amount of the additional power is of course indefinite, but we think 2.0OO XIV additional might be used.
 1 Therefore, some time after we re- sume operation and after we will have reached normal production our existing power plants will not be able to supply ourselves and the community with power during a great part of the winter season.
 So far in this appraisal it has been assumed that all the winter power plants can be depended up- on for the delivery of power when needed, but the thirty-one year record for the IT mile Annex Creek transmission line over a mountain range 5000 feet high show many power interruptions ranging from a few days to several weeks in dura- ton. The loss of the production from Annex Creek would probably add another 5000 XIV to the short age.
 1 To mennUn shortages Of power especially in such large amounts may seem startling, but it must be remembered that between 1921 when the Alaska Gastineau mine closed down, and 1889, there was nearly always surplus power In 1885 when the excess seemed about to disappear the Lower Salmon plant, which was destroyed by fire in 1922, was rebuilt, but by 1889 the lack of excess power was again becoming evident Now, with con- sumption expanding both in the community and in the mine, it seems safe to predict a shortage of power year or so after the re- OptlliuS ol tlle Illle.
 The company's contract to sup ply power to the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company runs un- til December 31, 1947, but is renew able for five years additional. If the company's mine is not oper- ating and it's power costs are in creased, the company may reopen the contract for price revision. It is well known that, even in times most favorable for gold min ing, the margin of profit at the Alaska Juneau is extremely small and full production at all times is most vital Electric power, when there is no excess over that re- quired to operate the plant, is cer- tainly worth much more to the Alaska Juneau than the revenue it would bring by selling as domes- tic light and power Therefore, if the Alaska Juneau runs short Of power due to the outside demand It would seem proper to increase the price of such power.
 The average yearly price for power sold under the contract with the Light Company could increase ever past yearly average if steam power were used more often inas- much as steam power bears a high CT price than hydroelectric power. The cost of fuel oil is another variable and important factor which could bring about an increased price for power under certain conditions. However, at present there is ample power available and as long as there is a reasonable surplus and as long as other conditions are not too adverse, the price of power should not increase.
 We hope this letter answers your questions satisfactorily, and if we can be of further help. please let us know.

 Juneau, Alaska
 Feb. 26, l947 i File J 49
 i Subject: Power
 Mayor w. E. Eendrickson
 Juneau, Alaska
 Dear NIT. Hendrickson: i This is in reply to your letter ot February 21st in which you re- quest some information and esti- mates concerning Alaska Juneau power production
 As you know, the Alaska Juneau power system consists of (a) three unregulated hydroelectric plants; Nugget Creek, Sheep Creek and '240 Power Plant; (b)regulated hydro electric plans, namely Annex Creek, Lower Salmon Creek and Upper Salmon Creek, and Co a central steam standby plant.
 Besides supplying power for it's own use it supplies the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company with power whenever it is needed Power has been sold since 1884 under a contract acquired from the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company when that company was purchased in 1884.
 The amount of power available from Alaska Juneau Power Plants varies with the season of the year.
 For the six summer months there generally has been a surplus Of power. Once sor twice during the past twenty years there has been shortage of water in August that necessitated the use of the company'S steam plant.
 However, in winter months and especially in March and the first part of April there is no sur plus of power and there have been actual shortages of power in the past. During the cold winter months there is no power produc- tion from the three unregulated hydroelectric plants and toward the end of the winter season the water shortage behind Salmon Creek Dam and the dam at Annex Lake is nearly depleted and due to the reduced head Of water pro- duces less power.
 During part Of each winter, therefore power for the mine and community is furnished by the cen tral steam plant, Annex Creek plant and Salmon Creek plants.
 During the winter of 1940 and again in l941 the mine and the community consumed all the power that Annex Creek, Salmon Greek and the central steam plant could produce, which was about 1000 XIV. However, there was not enough power for both the mine and the community and sections Of the mill were shut down for portions of the day over a period Of several weeks. Part Of that time the steam plant was producing over coco XIV. which is it's rated capacity.
 At that time in 1940 and 194l the Alaska Juneau furnished the Light Company with about 1000 K w. on the average whereas dur ing the present winter an average of 1,500 XIV. or more was required from the Alaska Juneau.
 This indicates clearly that the City load has increased over 50O XIV. without taking peak loads into consideration. In view Of the slight shortage of power in 194l this additional load of 500 XIV would increase the mines shortage by at least that amount if the mine were now running.
 However, the shortage for the mine will nc doubt be greater than

that the JWB Bureau of War Rec
ords could not hope to have COM
plete name-by-name record of
Jews in the armed services, it
urged every local community to
keep complete record of all such
local servicemen a task which
was practicable except in New
York and a few other large cities.
It was, all in all, a tremendous
effort. More than 1900 separate
communities in the United States
were involved. Each had it's own
war records committee or, in the
case of the smallest communities,
it's JWB correspondent, working to
gather the vital facts. They made
up perhaps the greatest voluntary
Jewish record gathering organi-
cation ever assembled.
The Bureau began at once es-
tablishing rosters, as complete as
possible, Of the following: Jews
who died in the service, the wound
ed, those captured by the enemy
and those reported missing in ac-
ton. These were the four official
categories Of casualties of the
armed forces. AS the war contin-
ued, the figures in each changed
and they were still changing, with
new information continually COM
ing in, up to the day this volume
went to press.
The Bureau worked primarily
from published government lists
of casualties and of awards, but
these carried no indication of re-
ligion. Names of servicemen and
of their nearest kin gave the first
indication of possible Jewishness,
but these had to be sent to the
local communities for authentica-
ton of religious background.

Water alone is not a satisfactory
cooling agent, because only in rare
instances is it's temperature lower
than go degrees. The addition Of
ice to water will help, but storage
difficulties and the work involved in
keeping the tank adequately sup
piled present certain obstacles to
its use. In addition, its cost, if pur-
chased, often is so high as to offset
the price received for satisfactorily
cooled milk.
Because of this situation many
electric milk coolers (either Of the
tank or aeroator type) are being in
stalled on electrified farms. Such
coolers, according to the Pennsyl-
vania State college school of agri-
culture, meet the farmers require
ments for they are designed to cool
fresh milk quickly, uniformly and
economically"
On the basis of tests conducted
recently on 101 electrified New York
state farms, the cost of cooling milk
electrically averages from IL to 1875
cents per hundred pounds. The pow
er rate in the test area was 3 cents
per kilowatt hour of power, which
is about " cent lower than the ma
tional farm electricity rate.
