$4,000 for acquisition expenses
(such as engineering firms fees
and necessary legal expenses.
All of the $4,000 will not have
to be expended at this time, but
will be used when called for by
the utility board
R. Roell, well-known electrical
engineer, voiced the opinion that,
with lower prices anticipated on
power and anticipated increased
use of power, that the city must
set up wiring code. He also ex-
pressed a feeling that the people
should know that cheap power
could not be had overnight and
that money must be spent for i'm
provements before this long
hoped-for privilege could be real
lied.
Robert Scott raised the question
concerning the $4,000 involved in
deposits on meters. He was adj
vised that these deposits will be
turned over by the Northern Light
and Power to the city.
Howard Harstad, consulting en-
gineer, explained many factors in
the improvements of the service
and the need to keep reserves for
a few years at least in the bust
ness as well as lowering rates.
He explained how much power,
now lost, could be sold at lower
rates for the mutual benefit of the
taxpayers and the light plant.
He also explained how the five
or six member utility board
should be set up so that the mem
bers serve about five years and
alternate, so that only one new
member would be added to the
board every year by election.

Proposition For City Ownership
OF Northern Light and Power Go.
Explained At Wednesday Meeting

The special public meeting,a
called by the City Council to dis
cuss the possible purchase of the
Northern Light and Power Co.
last Wednesday evening was
called to order by Mayor Steve
Andersen, who explained the de-
velopments to date in the project.
He explained to the taxpayers
present that Mr.. o. S. Weaver,
who has been in business here for
so years, was retiring and wished
to dispose of his light plant.
Through the Grande Co. of Sc
attic, the City of Nome had been
approached as the logical pur-
chaser, as most utilities of this
kind in the territory are now mu-
nicipally owned.
After consulting with Bill VIM,
agent of the company willing to
make the loan and after studying
an engineering report prepared by
Metcalf and Harstad, an engineer
ing firm of Seattle specializing in
this kind of work, the council had
decided in favor of the purchase.
Anderson stated it was now up to
the people Of Nome to decide the
issue by voting next Tuesday.
Bill Vim, representative of the
bonding company, explained that
the city was in no way responsible
or obligated to his company, as
their interest was only in the
plant for which they are advanc-
ing the proposed $235,OO0.
In answer to query by Clyde
Kammerer, VIM said the pur-
chase price was 100000, as of
fered to the city by o. S. Weaver;
$25, 900 for immediate improve
ments to make the plant adequate
to the needs of the community;

Fuzzy Peace Plan

PANMUNJOM, Communist

at US. ambassador Arthur H.

his repeated demands to explain
their fuzzy plan for neutrals to

Dean said the Red ''harangue"

Peiping or Moscow send orders
to Communist diplomats meeting

ference
The Communist plan calls for
acknowledgement nations to attend
the conference without a vote ON
major issues. They apparently
abandoned early demands that
some acknowledgements have full
participation-a plan exactly op-
posite the U.N. proposal for
meeting of only those nations
which fought in Korea.
However, Deans pressure on
the Reds to- give details of their
proposal indicates the Allies
might be willing to reach some
sort of compromise.
Meanwhile, Communist efforts
