Coop Board Requests Bids On Building

The Board of Directors of the Kenai Cooperative Trading Com pany in Seward announced that the Coop intends to carry through with it's plan to build the east wing of the new building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Adams Street this year.
 Prospective bidders have been invited to confer with the board of directors and to examine the base ment which has already been ex- caVated and walled.
 The invitation to bid does not mention specifications, but the plans are available at the store Each bidder is asked to submit his own specifications in accordance with his own views and construc- ton proposed.
 When the erection of the build ing was planned last spring, it was planned to complete one wing and to cover the remainder of the base ment with a concrete deck. Besides furnishing a large store room, this plan would add several thousand feet of storage space to the amount presently available
 For the past three years the Co., op has been renting the first floor of the LOOT. building. Original plans for the building called for frame construction, but it was dis covered that concrete block con- struction would effect a large say ing in insurance premiums. The present call for bids mentions re- inforced concrete as well as cinder blocks.

Recommends Mi!ifurv Appropriation
 For AI0sku

Calling Alaska the weakest link in our chain of national defense, John Perry. Chairman of the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, strongly recommend ed the adoption of the proposed $139000,000 Congressional appro- priation to strengthen Alaskan de- lenses.
 In wire to the Chambers Wash ington DC. offices, Perry requested that all members of the Wash ington State delegation be urged to apply their maximum Influence in behalf of the Alaska defense appropriation. Alaska is vulnerable, Perry said, which lends encourage ment to aggressive action by for eign nations. The amount involved in the proposed appropriation is leaving the door open to military action against the poorly protected Territory.

WOLVERINE SHIPPED TO zoo

Although the local express han dles a great variety of pets and even wild animals for shipment, Don Wilson got one last week that made him scratch his head little. It was wolverine being shipped to zoo in the States. Known as one of the most vi- cious animals in the world, it can tear an ordinary cage apart. This one was being shipped inside an oil drum, with few holes for ventilation.
 It is the duty of the express agent to feed and exercise animals but Don Wilson let this one take all his exercise inside the oil drum. He said he poked a one inch board inside the drum to clean it out and the wolverine snapped the board in two.

City Revising Warehouse
 Assessments

At meeting of the council after the board of equalization hearings Thursday evening the Seward City Council made the decision to add a scale for warehouses, chicken coopS, barns, and like buildings to the tax schedule.
 For warehouses the scale would be l2 cents per cubic foot for frame construction on posts and without floors and 15 cents for those with plank floors. Ware houses with concrete floors will be assessed against a value of 10 cents per cubic foot.
 Barns on concrete foundations or on creOsote posts will be valued at Is cents per cubic foot and at 20 cents if they have concrete floors.
 City officials expressed desire to arrive at a better method of making property assessments ac- cording to the type of construction and use of a building as we'll as it's condition.
 The equalization board has been in session every evening this week and the members report that on the whole they have fewer cases of protests than last year They eX- pect the more difficult cases to come up Friday or Saturday eye nings, however.
 Mayor Eugene Lanier explained that the new city administration taking office in October must have sufficient funds to work with. If the present administration could have been certain that the sales tax will be approved, the property tax could have been lower

City Must Vote Once More On Power Bonds

A Seattle firm, Grande & Co., Inc, is negotiating with the city of Seward for the purchase of the S1O4,00 in revenue bonds to be issued by the city for the purchase of additional generating equip ment and rehabilitation of the dis tIibutiOn system of the municipal power plant and to retire bonds now held by REC.
 The bonds now held by the REC amount to total of $54000 and the new equipment and other work will cost $50,000, making the total of $104,00O
 Special Election
 The picture has changed, how ever, since the voters authorized the city to issue the bonds in the special election of June Y. It will be necessary, therefore. to draw up a new ordinance which the voters will be asked 10 approve along with the sales tax and the pincreased term in office for city officials.
 This will make the third time that Seward voters have been called upon to approve utility bond issue for the power plant. In i both prior elections a legal tech nicality has prevented action, al- though the citizens voted approval. Five Per Cent Interest
 William Winn, representa- for ] Grande & Co.,, Inc. outlined the i probable course of action his com- panv would. take in disrcsing of the bonds for the city. The com pany is working with several cities l in Alaska on bond issues now, one of which is Fairbanks.
 The company has handled bonds for other Alaska towns at four and l one-half per cent interest, but
 Vim said he believed it might be necessary to ask five per cent here because of the past history of the Seward Electric System.
 Limit Profit
 The five per cent would not nec- essarily cost the city more money
 because of the fact that Grande contracts to make a profit of not more than three per cent. If the bonds can be sold for a figure above that amount, the difference will be returned to the city.
 Having a maturity date of fifteen years, the bonds may be called at the end of seven years if desirable, providing the city could raise the i money in that short time. ] Attorneys for the City of Seward, Plummer and Arnell of Anchorage, were given the job of drawing up the new ordinance to cover the is- suance of bonds in the September election. It is an ordinance pat termed after those used in many cities of the country, and will meet the approval of the bonding com pany's legal department.
