Local reaction to the announce ment was mixed. Some residents felt it was a pipe dream and others the latter group in the majority held that local control of the rail road was a logical solution to Sew ards economic woes.
 When contacted by Seaport Record reporter Attorney Baum gartner said that it was true that he had sent such wire to the Sec retary of Interior. As to the sug- gestion that the whole thing was stunt or pipe-dream, Baumgartner replied that the offer was serious and there was nothing fantastic about the proposal.
 While he was not at liberty to dlvulge who the interested parties were, Baumgartner said that they had every intention of pursuing the original request to the fullest. He pointed out. that though some folks had thought the deal impos- sible, he felt there was good bus mess sense behind it, in as much as the Railroad is now operating at three quarter of million collar profit, according to the present manager, Frank Kalbaugh. While he acknowledged that the profit might be narrowed under private ownership he said that his clients felt it was worthwhile to look into the matter.
 At press time today no reply had been received from the Sec retary of Interior.

After two month recess from meetings, the Utilities Board met this week on Tuesday evening for their regular meeting.
 ORDINANCE
 A lengthy discussion of the pro- posed new Ordinance on charges for water services was held, as the proposition had been referred back to the Board by the City Council.
 The matter in question was whe- ther or not the City should be re- sponsible for any thawing of frog en water connections. The Utility Board had left the door open, in the Ordinance, to the City's talk ing the responsibility in case the freezing took place in the City's portion of the line.
 The Councils difference in opin. ion comes in the wording of the Ordinance in that they felt that the way it is now worded, the City could be held liable for all sorts of freeze-ups.
 At the conclusion of the discus |, sion, it was decided to refer the matter back to the Council as or iginally presented and let them figure out what was to be done. On a previous vote. the Ordinance was passed when the Chairman cast the deciding vote.
 ELECTION
 Next item on the agenda for the evening was the presentation by the City Manager of a proposed schedule of events leading up to the election to approve Revenue Bonds for the Hydro Electric pro ject at Crescent Lake
 The Ordinance calling the cleo, tion will be called up for emergen. cy passage and approval next Mon cay evening by the City Council and if approved, the election will follow on February 18th.
 MISCELLANEOUS
 Other items taken up included the receipt of a letter from the City of Anchorage offering to sell the Sacketts Harbor Power Ship The local Board showed no inter. est in the purchase of the craft.
 An operating statement for the 1 Utilities was requested by tn C Board on motion of Stearns. Dis cussion of the matter with the City's auditor indicated that il should not be difficult to give such report at each meeting. The meetings are held on the second ; Tuesday of each month.
 The balance of the evening and way into the night-was spent in a discussion of the power policy recently adopted by the Board This policy in essence took the City out of the retail power busi ness outside the City, except in certain areas presently served or south of the south fork of the Resurrection River.
 It was finally decided. your re porter was informed. that MT i Harstad would beinvited to come to Seward for joint meeting of 1 the Council and Utilities Board next Wednesday evening.
