OTTAWA LISTED
IN SUGGESTED
DISTRICT SHIFT

If President Truman'S suggest
ed rediStricting of Ohio'S con-
gresSional divisions is given SER
iouS consideration, Ottawa coun-
ty would lose its affiliation with
the ninth district (Toledo), and
jump to the 18th district, local
observers pointed out this week
Truman argues that there is
too much gap between districts
having as little as 10000 popu-
lation to one of the largest in
Ohio, which had in the 1850 CEN
suS 902, ,403.
Switching Ottawa county from
the ninth would annex it to Erie,
Huron, Wood, Sandusky and SEN
eca counties in the 18th district.
The Ohio General Assembly
has ignored the federal require
ment of redistricting after each
10-year census, there having been
no changes made in district boun-
daries since 1918, when James
Cox was governor. In the inter-
vening 38 years increases and
decreases were made in the num-
Der of the states seats in the U
S. House of Representatives by
the simple medium of adding Or
subtracting congressional seats at
large.
The state has % districts and
one seat at large, which is held
by Rep. George H. Bender, R),
Cleveland.

MATTHEWS SEE
GOOD YEAR FOR
BOAT BUILDING
Sales This Year Already
Ahead OF Any Other
Period, Official Declares

Carl Radloff, works manager of
Matthews Boat Co. has been in
New York the past week, super
vising the exhibit of the new
Matthews 40" double cabin yacht
at the National Motor Boat and
Engine Exposition in the Crystal
Palace.
He was joined January II at
the show by R. f. Reynolds and
by c. M. Isenhower last Sunday
and later by Carl Matthews.
1t was the first public appear
ance the boat has made at the
national show, which will close
this week. 1t attracted wide in
terest.
Officials Of the pioneer boat
building company, now entering
its siXty-first year of production,
foresee a banner year ahead, pro-
vided material curtailment does
not prove serious.
Since the war years production
has been concentrated on the
we'll known Matthews 40" De-
Luxe Sedan, which will be one of
the top production models in the
picture this year. This model
remains basically the same in in
terror layout, but has been chang
ed considerably in exterior lines
and interior decorations.
The 40" Deluxe Sedan has a
new appearance in the exterior
lines by featuring reverse sheer
line in the cockpit coaming as
we'll of a slight reserve sheer in
all exterior profile lines. The in
terror of the deckhouse is chang
ed in appearance by featuring
more mahogany finish below the
window line. The ladder in the
forward cabin has been changed
to permit it to be swung back out
of the way while making up the
berths. The shippers wife will
greatly appreciate this new add
ed feature.
Still Make Playboat
The company will continue
production of the Matthews "32"
Playboat, which was introduced
with such great success at last
years show. This model is avail
able in an open cockpit model,
designed for fishing, as we'll as in
deckhouse model more adapted
to cruising and living aboard.
There are no important changes
in this "32" Playboat for 1851.
The most important develop
ment at Matthews is the introduc-
ton of brand new model, the
Matthews 40" Double Cabin Fly
ing Bridge.
Sales for 1851 so far this year
are running far ahead of any year
we can recall, says Vice Presi-
dent IsenhoWer, in charge CT
sales. This is accounted for
partly by the introduction of our
new 40" Double Cabin flying
bridge model which a great many
yachtsmen have been waiting for,
and also by the desire of more
and more people of means to get
out on the water for their family
recreation. Highways have be-
come so congested that more and
more families are turning to the
water for their weekend fun. Un-
less serious material shortages de-
velop we look for one of the
greatest years in our history"

SCHOOL NEWS
HIGH SCHOOL

Students on the basketball team arrived Wednesday morning with suit cases in hand, neatly dressed, and all prepared for the Alaska Airlines to take them on the flight 10 Anchorage to participate in the basketball tournament during the Fur Rendezvous. It was a moment of high expectation and inspira-
 lion for all of us. It was a time that had been looked forward to during the entire basketball sea- son. Now the day had arrived. It meant more perhaps to two of our boys, John Bell and Isaac Larsen who would now experience their first airplane ride. They would soon see their first large steam locomotive trains and many other strange things.
 The day before, we had sung for them our three High School songs: "On Nome High School" "Hats Off To Thee," and "We Are Loyal Students. They will re- member our cheers and carry high the traditions of our High School. Last year, they added a new tro- phy to our cabinet, namely that of good sportsmanship, which is something we are proud of.
 At twelve o'clock they bid fare we'll and were taken out to the field. At one-thirty, the Alaska Airlines plane shot suddenly into the sky from the west-east run way and the team was on its way.

CITY COUNCIL

The Nome City Council had a lengthy meeting last Monday cen tering in considerable discussion on problems relating to the vari- ous departments of the city, such as increased insurance, improve ments and revision of ordinances on various subject with no defin- ite action being taken.
 Fire Chief Reader reported that the inspection of homes and busi- nesses continues and that a new Fire Ordinance is in the making to tie together the functions and program of the Volunteers and the City Fire department.
 Dogs was the outstanding sub- ject for discussion, with evidence being shown that there were too many dogs around that do not seem to belong to anyone, also dogs which wear collars but who are loose and travelling in packs.
 AS a precoution measure against possible accident to children in particular the Council took the drastic action of eliminating by shooting loose dogs. Heretofore dogs have been impounded before shooting, but the wild dogs sim ply canont be caught, stated the members of the committee who have been working on the prob lem.

Fairbanks Utility Rates Are Illegal

FAIRBANKS, (F9 - Fed l Judge Harry Pratt ruled yesterday that the City of Fairbanks had no legal right to establish utilities board in 1947, and rates set by thie board were invalid.
 He ruled there is no Territorial law permitting Alaskan cities to appoint utility boards. Such law was passed in 1885 and repealed in 1889.
 In what may be a far-reaching decision in the Territory, the judge ruled that the city council must fix utility rates, and bond holders would have to approve any delegation of power by the city to a utilities board.
 The judge made his decision in the case of Robert Claus, who re- fused to pay rates set for unme- tered steam here and brought suit in test case. The judge ruled Claus must pay only reasonable cost for steam, but his decision did not touch on what reasonable cost" might be.
