City Engineer Firm
 Studies Hydro Project

MT. Harstad of the Engineering firm of Metcalf and Harstad is in Seward this week preparing pre- liminary estimates and surveys of an anticipated development of Ptarmigan Lake as source of Hydro-electric power.
 Preliminary investigations by the District Engineers have show ed potential generating capacity of nearly 5000 kilowatts.
 Following the completion of this preliminary investigation the find ings will be submitted to the Util- ities Board of the City Council for their appraisal and a decision will be made as to whether or not to proceed with the development which is estimated to cost in the neighborhood of $3,000,000 by the time full generating capacity is reached. The initial stage of the development is to Srovide 15O0 kilowatts.
 Should the Council and Utility Board decide to proceed with the plan then Seward voters will be asked to vote on an issue of Rev enue Bonds to cover the cost of construction.

 The Seward Seaport Record was suspended last spring following 2 fire which destroyed or seriously damaged most of the production equipment of the Hunt Publishing Co.,, which was used fin the print ing of the paper at that time.
 Since that time John M. Colman Editor and Publisher of the Record has given up the printing business for the life of a homesteader. and is now living with his family at Mile 56 on the Seward Highway near the Hope Cutoff.
 The salvaged printing equipment of the company has been sold to Pete DuBeau who plans to set up job printing plant in Seward in the near future.

Health Report Issued; /; Precautions Advised

In an interview with Dr. Deishre this week the Record obtained the latest information on the Polio and Typhoid outbreaks in this area.
 Dr. Deisher stated that so far there is but one case of typhoid diagnosed in the Seward area and as is known there is no cause for alarm though he would advise that water be boiled as pre- caution against possible further infection.
 The City Manager has also been advised by the Alaska Department of Health that it would be very advisable to boil water or to use home chlorination process toguard against any possible contamination.
 On the polio front there have been two new cases reported in recent days, but otherwise it is believed that the outbreak is on the decline, Dr. Deisher told the Record.
 Gamma Globulin has been given to all the children at the Jesse Lee Home and also to all known con- tacts of persons who have come down with polio.
 Miss Mary Jerome from the Nat ional League for Nursing was in Seward recently for two days to consult on nursing problems of acute cases and the long time care for patients who have been paralized.
 Dr. Deisher told our reporter that one of the most troublesome problems in the treatment of polio was the long time care. Once the patient is up and about again they tend to overdo, he hold us. It is most important in their treat ment that they do not get over tired. The best treatment on the long haul is to- resume activity slowly and not get all tired out trying to exercise the paralized member too much and thereby, do permanent damage.

Rural Area Electricity Awaits OK By REA

Rural Identification Co-opera- tive No. 17, comprised of residents along the Seward highway as far as Coopers Landing, are anxiously awaiting the granting of their loan to construct a power line into the area.
 REA officials, in a meeting with Coop and Seward Utility Board officials last Friday, expressed satisfaction with the loan applica- tion, and indicated the loan would be processed very shortly.
 The Cooperative group has about 400 members, and already has a contract with the City of Seward for adequate electricity for pre- sent use.
 Rumors that another source of power could be furnished at a much lower rate than Seward of fered, are entirely unfounded, ac- cording to City and Utility Board members. REA officials expressed approval of Coop ITS contract with Seward, and they are not considering any other source of energy.
 If the loan for a transmission line is granted this year, work will start early in the spring. and power should be available by mid summer, Coop officials stated.
