.TROLLERs REQUEST PRICE
 ADJUSTMENTS FOR ALASKA

KETCHIKAN - Submitting no fish price eounter-proposal to Alas ka trollers. fish buyers this week requested and were granted an eX- tension of time until April 26 to offer one. N. E. Nelson chairman of the United Trollers Union negi.iat- ing committee, disclosed.
 Although Tuesday was the dead line for negotiations. it does not stop negotiations, Nelson said, eX- blaming that the trollers have high hopes that the buyers will see their point of view and that an agreement will be reached by the end of the month.
 The Union is putting itself in the position that if no agreement is reached it will be forced to take drastic action" Nelson said, ex- blaming that the Union is attempt ing to cooperate to the fullest ex- ent to iron out the problems. We have shown our good faith, Nelson said, by allowing the buyers three time extensions to make a pro- posal.
 If there is a voluntary tie-up it will not be an action by the Un- ion," the official stressed. We are willing to meet with the buyers any time they wish. We are in a negotiating position.
 The fishermen are asking for a price adjustment on fish they catch. They believe fish inferior to Alaska troll-caught salmon is go- ing for considerably higher prices on the Seattle market than the premium catches here.
 As an example, MT Nelson point ed to his latest fisheries bureau market prices in Seattle. A total of 22,716 pounds of troll-caught kings from Cape Flattery, was sold on the Seattle market for a straight price of 32 and 39% cts. At the same time, Wrangell fisher men were offered 24 cents for large reds, IS cents for small and 15 cents for white Ketchikan buy CTS offered 25 cents for large reds, 20 cents for small and IS for white.
 This situation, the Union con- tends, gives the stateside fisher men a higher market value on in ferior fish while the fishermen here who are catching what they believe is the top grade, from the consumer point of view, are getting less.
 This week approximately 180 Union members, fishermen and in terested parties took part in an open meeting conducted by Myron Dean, International Union repre- sentative, who attempted to ex- plain and answer all questions ou the Union setup. The open session was held to acquaint fishermen with organization of the Union and to hold a forum on the troll lers' current problems.

COUNCIL OR NO COUNCIL
 IS QUESTION AT MEETING

1o aUEo HUN Al MEE4A Mu
 Whether Wrangell had a Mayor and council seemed to be the S64 question at what was to have been the 1946 councils second meeting of the month with one member ab sent. Also present were two of the councilmen-elect, voted into office this year and members of the Util- ity Board.
 The meeting opened with City Clerk Margaret Bronson reading a resolution calling for a special el- eetion to approve a bond issue for s75,000 for an addition to ths local school - and therein lay the difficulty.
 Following reading of the resolu- ton and it's passage by the council. Fred G. Hanford, member of the Utility Board, questioned its legal ity. He pointed out that if all were not in proper order the whole elec- lion could be declared null and void.
 According to Section 24O4 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, new city officials must be installed the first Monday following election, from which time their term starts The section says:
 "Sec. 24O4: Term of Elected of- fteers: All municipal officers elect ed by direct vote. shall take their respective offices on the first Mon day after their election, from which day their term of office shall be deemed to run"
 Therefore, 1t was shown if the city term starts the Monday following election, the. present outgoing members are no longer members ol the council, their terms having eX- pired and the new member have not yet taken their oath of office Consequently, Wrangell had no council to authorize the bond is sue or election.
 Mayor Barnes explained that the reason new councilmen have not been seated is that the audit has not been completed for the 1945 year which the 1946 council mem bers must approve or dis-approve before the new council is installed.
 The motion to approve the res, olution was withdrawn and it was dcided to hold a special meeting Monday night at which time the new eouncilmen will be sworn in and the audit will have been voted on.
 4 like situation existed last year. Elections took place April 2, but the new council was not sworn in until Monday, April 22 at d special meeting held for the pur- pose. There was no question raised as to the legality of the delay al that time, but it was explained that with a bond issue and special election in the offing at present, it would be well to regard the letter of the law.
 An informal discussion was held concerning the city's purchase Of the telephone company. No decision was made, but the Utility Board was asked to attend the meeting Monday night and after the new council members take their seats the matter can be decided official 1v
