The Seward Electric System Plant was completed in January of 1888, at a cost of $96,0000O. The con struction was paid for by the issu- ing of revenue bonds. The REC. being the purchaser of the bonds. The original equipment. which is still in good working order has the capacity of 300 XIV. This capacity was sufficient to handle the load at the time of construction when the population of Seward was esti- mated to be between 780 and 800.
 With the beginning of the Sec ond World War came the demand for more power, the Army and Navy and the construction com panies needed power and with them came an increase in civilian population also in need of power. The City endeavored for several years to get a priority rating high enough to obtain additional equip ment, but with little success. In the fall of "A they started negoti- ations for the Caterpillar diesel units that were purchased and in- stalled in 1945. These units were purchased secondhand and in poor condition, for the sum of Sl2,O0O for four units generating 175 XIV. The units were too high speed for the purpose and did not operate in harmony with the existing equip mnt. They were finally junked in l947-48
 In November of l947 the Utility Board purchased a G.M.C. diesel motor, used but in good condition, with a capacity load of 240 XIV, for the sum of Sl3,00000 installed. This motor is still in operation. II is an efficient standby and is used to help carry the peak load. giving the utility a peak load at present of $40 XIV.

Chinese Are Divided
On Whether u. ). Will
Continue Sending Aid
BY me Associatsd Press


CANTON. China, Aug. 6.-Chi-
nese opinion was divided tonight
on whether there ever again would
be American aid for Nationalist
China.
A government spokesman said
official reaction to the American
White Paper on China-issued
Friday in Washington-could not
be expected for several days.
Premier Yen Hsi-shan and other
top Nationalists refused comment.
Some others expressed opinions.
but mostly on an anonymous basis.
Best opinion was that there
would be no formal protest to
Washington.
The White Paper means we
will get no more aid" said one
member of the Legislative Yuan.

very bad; our officers and men will
be gravely discouraged"

Wang Shih-tseng, spokesman.
for the minority Youth Party, ex-
pressed belief the United States
had not abandoned help for China
and forecast some new aid plan.
Wang said that if America
should put China outside its de-
fense system against Russia, there
would be another Pearl Harbor."
He did not elaborate, but declared
all democratic elements in China
were against the Reds because of
their open allegiance to Russia.
Another source took the position
that the White Paper was merely
a Whitewash of past American
action or inaction in China and
would have no particular bearing
on the possibility of future aid.
This official insisted the United
States still shared responsibility
for the present Communist ascend
ancy.

of anti-Communist action, may
urge aid for any resistance forces
showing signs of determined
stand against the Communists.
Delivery of aid direct to gen.
erals in China's unconquered
Western provinces thus would be
considered possible. officials sug-
zested, now that this Government
has written off the Chinese Ma
tionalist regime as a failure.
Lines of Policy.
The three lines along which
policy moves are expected to be
ordered are these:
/. Resistance to any threat OF
aggression by the Chinese Com
munists against China's neighbors
such as Burma and French
1ndo- China.
2, Promotion of political policies
among China's neighbors from
Korea through Japan and the
Philippines around to India which
will better living conditions OF the
people and thereby weaken the
position of communism working
from the inside.
8. Seizure of all opportunities to
weaken the position of communism
inside China by giving encourage
ment and, where practical, assist
ance to any Chinese movements
aimed at restoring the country's
independence of communism.
Action Hinted by Acheson.
In a general way all three lines
of action were indicated in Mr..
Acheson's letter to President Tru-
man transmitting the White Paper
on China policy, and in Mr..
Acheson's news conference state
ment yesterday. What the United
States may actually do will de-
pend, of course, on the final shap-
ing of congressional reaction to
the White Paper blast at China's
tottering Nationalist government.
Precisely what moves the United
States may take is the subject OF
intensive studies which Mr..
Acheson has ordered on the part
of his troubleshooter, Ambassador
Philip Jessup, officers of the State
Departments far Eastern Division,
and other top assistants.
Eventual decisions will depend,
however, on the way events move
in China more than on any other
single factor. In his White Paper
letter Mr.. Acheson nailed future
American policy to the principle
of being realistic" and of deal
ing with the facts as they de-
yelop.
One thing he is now trying to
learn is whether military forces
outside Communist control are
under determined and competent
leadership so that can be counted
on.
Congressmen Divided.
Congressional reaction to the
White paper was still sharply
divided with some members hold
ing to the idea that the admin
tstration's estimate of the Ma
tionalist Government as failure
was realistic others insist
ing that the real failures were
