 T0WN'5 AID ON HOUSING PROJECT

A discussion of the extent of the City of Juneau's cooperation with planners of housing project at West Juneau kept Chamber of Commerce members overtime this noon.
 Kenneth Kadow, chairman of the Alaska Field Committee, touched off the debate in report on efforts to provide housing for Juneau,
 Kadow told the Chamber that two problems were bottlenecking the go-ahead on the 100-apartment unit development. namely, fire protection and public utilities.
 The Bayview Apartment Housing Company, project planners, have asked fer the City of Juneau's assistance in meeting these two problems. Fire protection and utility service must be provided to meet Federal Housing Authority regulations under which the project will be developed, Kadow said.
 Although the City Council has replied to a letter from the Bay view Apartment Housing Company assuring cooperation "in any way the city may lawfully do so, ,'' Kadow indicated that commitments by the city were not adequate to meet FILA or Federal and National Mortgage Association requirements.
 CITY OFFICIALS SPEAK st
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson and City Attorney Howard Stabler both took the floor to explain that, while the City Council is anxious to cooperate in every way possible to assist the company in building their project, they felt that the best interests of the citizens of Ju- neau must be considered first.
 Stabler asked for a conference of the city's attorneys with Kadow to study the problem before the city makes any definite move. He expressed the view that Juneau citizens should not Ice held respon- sible for developments outside the city limits.
 Possibilities of incorporation of the new area into the city were discussed. Kadow indicated that statement of intent for incorpora- tion of West Juneau within the limits would make possible the ob- taining of loan from Federal Ma tional Mortgage Association for utility construction. Funds for pro- viding utilities are not available under FILA, Kadow said
 The consensus appeared to be that the problem of fire protection for the new apartment units could be met by the city.
 With time running out, the dis cussion ended with acting chair man Joe Mclean instructing the housing committee, headed by Dr. Clayton Policy, to meet with in- terested parties for further talks.
 Tom Dyer, Chambers Aviation Committee Chairman, made his final report on the building of the new Municipal Airport Terminal, announcing the grand opening ceremonies Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
 Rocert Bowling, reporting on the Capital-to- Capital Yacht Race, told members that 40 boats are scheduled to make the final lap of the July race from Prince Ru- pert to Juneau and will put in here July 16 shortly after noon.
