CITY OFFICIALS DISCUSS PAVING WITH BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS MEN

He told officials that the bond issue had failed to get the vot- CTS approval.
 The City Council is willing to set up the machinery for an- other bond issue election if that is what the voters want, he said today. '.If the failure of the pro- posal was because the City did not give out sufficient informa- ton prior to the election, then it certainly is right to give the voters another chance. I person. ally feel that it is unw:se at this time to turn down the opportnn- ity to get some of our streets paved
 An estimate on what the city's share would be for the highway paving will be forwarded to the city by BPR officials as soon as possible.
 In future issues Of The From tierSman there will be articles explaining in detail how much the project will cost, initially and over a period of years; where this money is to come from; how much it will cost each property owner in each improvement dis triet, over a period of years. and other pertinant information. These articles will be carried as public service of The Frontiers man to help better inform the public on the street paving pro- poSal.

MEA WITHDRAvvS MEMBERSHIP IN CAPA
SCHOOL. GYM WILL PROVIDE COMFORT, SAFETY, AND SPACE

Extension work on the Central School gymnasium is in the fin ishing stages and carpentry work is expected to be done within another two weeks, ac- cording to Chet Sandvik, job su- pervisor.
 In addition to the gym being enlarged, bigger and better facil- ities in the shower rooms, larg- CT stage, and more seating room, the new work will provide a large band room and a storage room directly behind the stage.
 School Board member, Ed Smith, this week pointed out that the extension will now pro- vide adequate shower and locker room for the youths using the gymnasium for basketball and PIE. The playing floor in the gym has been extended 10 feet, with an additional 10 feet extending back from the basket to the stage. With this improvement basket ball players will no longer run the risk of injuring themselves in a collision with the stage.
 The stage, now 19 feet deep will be fitted with flood lights across the front edge. These will be operated from a modern West
  inghouse panel board, permitting the operator to dim or raise the lights at Will-no more hit or miss on the switches each time. Located on both ends of the stage will be wash rooms for men and women, with a connecting stair way that leads to the large show CT and locker rooms located be. meath the stage area The locker rooms will measure about 23 it. by 50 it. Fire exits have been so located that they may be used by either persons i'll the shower and locker room sections or from above in the stage or gym sec.

CANYOH PROJECT COSTS TOO HIGH FOR M.E.A. FINANCES

During a special meeting of the MEA board Of directors held November 5, members present voted. unanimously to withdraw the membership of MEA from the Central Alaska Power Asso- citation.
 The special meeting had earl, fer been called to discuss items to be presented at the NRECA regional meeting winch will be held in tine States this month. Sometime between the last regu- lar meeting and the special meet ing it was brought to the atten- tion of board members that CAPA was applying to the Fed era1 Power Commission for preliminary permit for work at Woods Canyon which would amount to an estimated $595 .000. Copies of the nature, amount and estimate of cost of this work was given to the directors. The directors had not officially been notified of this proposal.
 The proposed work would be done on the Copper River, about 85 miles from it's mouth in the region of Valdez. Chitina, and Cordova. The project is to con- struet a dam which would raise the present water surface from an elevation of 40 feet to 950 feet, creating a reservoir 5l miles long on the Copper river and 55 miles on the Chitina river and would provide 18,500,000 acre feet total storage capacity of which II million aere=feet would be active storage. The annual amount Of energy available in 90 percent of the years would be around seven billion kiloWatt hours, it was stated.
 One of the directors this week said that MEAS withdrawing was caused by their unwillingness to gamble with MEA funds on the development of such large and distant project My personal feeling, he said, lis that in the past such big projects have been developed by the Bureau of Re clamation who are better quail fled to work on such a large scale. They have the experience and the advantage of being able to go directly to Congress for appropriations before advancing such project"
 President Phil O'Neill was absent from the meeting and Earl Combs, vice president, pre- sided. c, Ivan Branton acted as secretary in the absence of James Hurley who was i'll. [
 The decision of the MEA board Of directors to withdraw MEA from the membership of CAPA will be sent directly to the Fed eral Power Commission, R.E.A., C.A.P.A. and CAPA members.
