Ashcroft. and many other too numerous to mention, de- eided that they must get into dairying at once and in a big way to save the situation. In order to get farmers to buy cows they had to get a milk plant And in order to get a milk plant they had to have the cows. This is like the old gag of which comes first, the chicken or the egg
 After many conferences and mu- tual pledges of good faith. Carna- ton took a chance on getting in creased production of milk in such quantity as to make the plant op- eration successful and announced they would build This marked the | beginning of a new era in Hopkins County, which has changed from one of the poorest to one of the most prosperous agricultural coun-

 March ,, 1952 The Honorable Mayor and Common Council Town of Wrangell
 Wrangel, Alaska
 Gentlemen:
 Pursuant to the meeting of the Council held in WrangeI on the evening of March 4. 1852. l have this date turned over to Mr. How ard stabler and AIr c. J. Ehren- dreich the rate base proposal which this Corporation has pre- sented to the Council together with those rates which We expect to put into effect on April 1. 1852. It is our opinion that the Coun- cil has had adequate time to giys due and proper consideration to the rate application of this Corpora tion and We are. therefore. formal ly advising you that unless these rates are made effective April 1. . 1852, we regret that We will be forced to cut down the operating staff at Wraugell which will re- quire discontinuance of service be- tween the hours of D. m. and a. m. the following morning. We recognize that this is in violation of the franchise but unless the Council will guarantee us a just and reasonable return on the capital in- yestmeut of this Corporation we find ourselves with no alternative As stated at the Council meeting we are agreeable to accepting a rate base of S30,O00 which shall include $3.5O0 in working capital and per cent return on that in- vestment, except that the rates which we desire to place in effect on April 1, will be as set forth in our rate proposal. It is recognized that these rates do not briny an 8 per cent return but for the reasons which have previously been out lined we are willing to accept less than an per cent return for the time being but We do require that we be permitted to make such a re- turn when the rate base ordinance is drawn.
 We are taking the liberty of for | warding a copy of this letter to yo"r attorney. Mr. Howard Stabler, and I feel sure we will be able to reach an amioable solution prior to the deadline date. Respectfully Yours, Alaska Telephone Corp.
