Mofor license Sales
 Soar Upword When Road Remoins Open All Year

7 More than three times as many motor vehicle licenses have been sold in Valdez to date than there were at this time last year, Mrs. Margaret Harrais, U. s. commis- sioner, announced this week. This years license total is 106, while last years figure was only 31.
 Mrs. Harrais credits the Alaska Freight Lines and their fine effort in keeping the Richardson High way open as the sole reason for the increased license sale. And, she points out, Valdez is 100 miles shorter in distance and five days shorter in. time than any other route to the great Interior bases. An open highway 12 months of the year, instead of five or six months, spells prosperity for Valdez"

kalph Merrill
 Sells Business To Helen Long

On March 8 of this year the Merrill Mercantile Company of Valdez changed owners. On that day, Miss Helen Long, partner in the business since 1947, pur- chased the interest of Ralph Mer- Till, who plans to retire.
 MT. Merrill bought the business in 1943 from James Patterson, who operated it as a general re- pair shop. In September, 1948. an increase in business necessi- tated moving to new building, the present location of Merrill Mercantile Go. Prior to the move, hardware and appliances had been added to the stores services.
 Last May, Marvin Beals bought the plumbing and sheetmetal shop and the overhead rooms, which were still located in the original Patterson building.
 MT. Merrill plans to spend his retirement in the states, but is still undecided as to where he will go. His Valdez friends feel cer- tain that his ultimate destination undoubtedly will be Valdez again.
 Miss Long first came to Alaska in 1940. During the war years of l943 to 1946, she was in the Spars, and was stationed at Palm Beach, Fla, and Norfolk, Va. Following her service discharge, Miss Long attended a foreign trade school in Chicago for six months, and then returned to Valdez to enter into partnership with MT. Merrill.
 The new owner expects to con- tinue to operate the business along the same lines as did the partnership Merrill's Mercantile handles number of nationally advertised home appliances, as well as line of inexpensive auto mobiles and trucks, in addition to the regular stock of building sup plies, general hardware, furniture. plumbing fixtures, paints, sport ing goods, floor coverings, and other home needs.
 The people of Valdez join in wishing MT. Merrill a pleasant va cation Outside, and in extending their best wishes for continued success in the business to Miss Long.

SCHOOL, AIRPORT,
 'AW EkF0RC CEMENT WORRY CITY DADS

dez City Council. held at the Til likum Club on March 20, found
 councilmen wrestling with the
 many problems confronting a
 community in the throes of grow ing pains.
 Discussion ranged from the
 need for additional school facili- ties, small boat harbor improve ments, additional law enforce ment personnel, purchase of new equipment for the fire department
 and street department, additional water and sewer systems, in- creased airport facilities and more streets to accommodate new building sites.
 Harold French, superintendent of schools, told the council that the hope for territorial funds with which to build an addition to the Valdez School was faint. School construction funds have been frozen and will not become avail able in time for new construction this year.
 The school building is at pres ent overcrowded with an enroll ment of 106 pupils in a building designed for 65. Estimates place next years school population at between l50 and 160 students. The problem of enforcement of proposed curfew was discussed. It was pointed out that with the advent of warmer weather, Val dez' annual migration of alcohol lcS and transientS could be ex- pected, and that a night patrol man should be added to the police force to assist in the control of an anticipated outbreak of law lessness. Councilmen felt that un- til this patrolman was employed, there could be no effective en- forcement of the curfew.
 The Valdez Fire Department requested that the city purchase { a high-pressure fog dispensing i bumper, for use in small home fires. The Valdez Street Depart
 ment asked for the purchase of a
 new garbage truck. The council i acted favorably on both requests
 Donald Johnson, a prospective i home builder in Valdez this sum-
 mer, requested that the council l open several new streets in the
 outlying areas, in order to make
 new building sites available. He ] was assured that the street serv- 1 ing the area in which he plans to build would be opened at the first opportunity.
 l The need for sewer system to serve the new home areas was pointed out. The city clerk was instructed to write to the General Services Administration and find out what help would be available to finance the needed sewer sys- tenn.
 Councilmen also voted to get in touch with the Civil Aeronautics Administration to seek help for improvements to the Valdez air port. The port already is in use for daily mail flights to Cordova and daily flights to Anchorage are promised soon.
 After an exhausting three hours of graphing with the problems of small community faced with sudden growth, the councilmen adjourned. Acting Mayor Howard Burch presided over this meeting.
