Schedule Public Heorinq On TeIephone Rufe Increase

ment was made that there would be no rate increase until service was improved, and it was the in tention of the company at that time to decrease the number of phones on large party lines, thus giving better service and cause for a rate increase.
 "The company would like' nothing better than to have its franchise voided," Mayor Painter stated. "They would then con- tinue to operate without any method of control by the city"
 Inquiries arc being made of { h e Federal Communication Commission concerning the obli- gations of licensed communica- tion utility to furnish adequate utility regardless of internal em- ployment problems. This was brought up by the statement of Mrs. Drown that operators would again stop work and leave the city without telephone service in event that public hearing would force the council to deny a general rate raise, thus voiding the raise clause in the operators contract.

Volunteer Ambulance Corps Being Formed

To date IT men have volun- teered to form group to oper- ate and maintain a volunteer am bulance service in Seward.
 The police department ambu- lance has been placed at their disposal until such time as they can buy a better vehicle. Jim Kirkpatrick mot as police chief, but as a citizen of Seward has been contracting all service or ganizations in town for support in the volunteer project.
 The present vehicle, an ambu- lance purchased by the Police Department after the Police mans Ball last year, is old and in very poor condition. It is fully equipped, however, and has made many mercy runs during the past year.
 Most calls for ambulance serv- ice come from outside the city. During January the ma chine made seven runs. There has been a charge of S1.00 per mile for the service, but many times the charge has gone un- paid for various reasons.
 If the volunteer unit is backed financially and morally by town service groups, it must be sue cess. This plan has functioned we'll in other communities, and can do it here. More will be heard about the association as its organization progresses,

March 2 was set as the date for a public hearing on the petition of Alaska Telephone Corporation for a raise in telephone rates in Seward. The hearing will be held in the council room at 6 pm. on that date.
 Opinion is rife in the city as to the right of any company in promising raise in salary for it's employees being made con tingent upon general rate raise for utility users.
 The question will be threShed out at the hearing, at which time the Council will presumably have a copy of the auditors re- port on company expenditures. Mrs. Vida Drown, speaking in behalf of the company and oper- ators' salary hike, states that there has been no raise in rates in Seward for the past Is years;- that certain lines G. and 8-party lines) are still operating at S2.5O per month, and that Seward has the lowest telephone rates in Alaska.

 The party came to Seward Saturday for the Rendezvous Dog Mushers visit and remained for the basketball game that night. They were returning to Anchorage Sunday when their car was involved in head-on collision with a car approaching from Anchorage.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

Although the ambulance was purchased by proceeds from the Policeman's Ball in 1852, and cost the city nothing, it is still city property" Kirkpatrick stat ed, ana now ask your permis- sion to dispose of the am bulance."
 More calls are made outside the city than within it's limits. The vehicle is included in the city's fleet insurance policy, which is void in case the vehicle leaves the limits of the city. For this reason, and because of the bad condition of the car, it is nU longer advisable to operate it as a city service.
 The council agreed to disposal of the machine at $1.00 year ta a responsible group.
 A letter was resu from Don Wilson, director APW, stating that with the defeat of the hos pital bond election, the proposi- tion was being dropped. But that if at any time, it should be taken up again and pass in another election, the application could be renewed.
 In a post script to the letter, MT. Wilson stated that he had requested Washington to transfer the school project,to the hospital priority.

Besides the acton taken on the school and telephone problems, the much harrassed City Council took up several other matters at the regular meeting February 2.
 A note in the amount of S550o, which was due February 3, was re-negotiated with the bank at six per cent interest for 60 days. Until sale of the water bonds is made and money received from that source, the city was unable to meet the note, it was stated.
 Application was signed for the paving project and a resolution passed to accompany the applica- ton. Surveying and engineering remains to be done before the ap- plication can be accomplished, but paving does seem to be a possibility within the next two years
 In reply to an inquiry from the council, Mrs. Jean Thorn Petro- vich denied any discount for cash on the original $80,000 pur- chase contract of the water ia cilitieS.
 Police Chief Kirkpatrick re- Quested permission of the coun- cil to dispose of the police de partment ambulance to a group of citizens who would agree to conduct an ambulance service in the ayea.
