CSC Tax Claim

s.Palmer's hospital must pay

announced board chairman A. II.
Mick. "A ruling from ESQ COM
mission, this week imposes an
additional burden on this non
profit institution. The claim is
apparently retroactive to Janu-
airy 1, 1855. We estimate that
$500 will be needed to pay this
tax for 1885," Mick said. Since
the hospital operated at a deficit
during 1855, there is no money
available for this purpose. Al
though the hospital is owed
some $4,000 to $4,000 in pa
tents fees, payment is very
slow. For this reason the hospital
now owes about $4,000 to local
and Stateside creditors"
Renewed efforts to collect de-
linqueft patient accounts are

PROPERTY TAX
ONLY OUT,
COUNCILMAN SAYS

''As far as I can see, our only
out is a property tax in the City
of Palmer-as much as hate
to see it,, Councilman Jan Kos
losky stated at the March 81
meeting of the City Council. His
statement was brought about by
the announcement that the Alas
ka Public Works has denied the
City's request to extend pay
ments on the city water system
from 20 to 80 years. The pay
ments will have to be made in
20 years, as originally contract
ed for by the first City Council.
s'We are fighting losing bat
tle', Koslosky stated. THE time
has come when we are just go
ing to have to kick in for the
city. AS the city has and is grow
ing, we need more police and
fire protection, street improve
ments. The present income Just
won't cover our going expenses.
City officials have protested to
APW about faults IN the water
system that have shown up they
have expanded thousands of dol
lars in repairs and thaWing. How
ever, there appears to be no way
cut and Council members auth
orized the payment Of $1a62 6
as down payment on the system.
A complete water cost report Will
be sent to Juneau to again just
fly the City's point in asking for
30-year payment. The letter re-
ceived from James w. Huston,
APN director, pointed out sew
eral ways IN which the City
could raise the yearly payments
on the system, among which was
suggestion that fire protection
costs could be assessed to the resi-
dents. He pointed to savings
enjoyed by residents since the
installation of the adequate fire
protection by the lowered insur-
ance rate.

PALMER HOSPITAL
FUTURE LOOKS DARK

'An ultimation by the MEA
Board will plunge Palmer's hos
pital into darkness on April
g." announced hospital board
president A. H. Mick today. This
precipitated and unexpected ac-
ton came as surprise, Mick
said, especially since letters to
MEA asking for an opportunity
to discuss the hospitals overdue
account for electrical service
have been ignored. On October 10
the hospital asked the local MEA
manager and the sMEA directors
for advice IN this matter. So far
these letters have not been an
sWered,' said Mick.
The problem is especially
acute because the hospitals in
ability to pay for electricity is
largely due to non-payment of
hospital bills owed by people
who are members of MEA. The
MEAS Boards attitude cannot
reflect the true feelings of the
community which also comprises
the MEA membership com
mented Nick. IN the event the
hospital IS deprived Of electrical
services there are two courses
open: we can Try to operate on
the emergency standby plant
which viii furnish only a frac-
dor Of the institutions needs, Or
the hospital can be closed. -
The AHEA IS not the only bust
mes owed money by the Hospit-
al said Nick. In addition to
a $3,295 electrical bill, the hos
pital owes MVF.C.A. $4,000;
Palmer ffor water serviee) S762;,
MIA (for telephone service) S233;
Koslosky's store, $40; and $1,000
to Evan Jones Coal Company.
Aside from patients failure to
pay their hospital bills" said
mick, this is the first concrete
evidence that Palmer's hospital
is not supported by the Matan-
uska Valley residents
The picture is not entirely
black said Mick, ''since we have
reason to believe this MEA board
action was not unanimous and is
not in accord with the wishes of
many members. The Hospital fin
ance committee is working on
solution to this crisis"

WILSON TO RESIGN
FROM M.E.A.
DIRECTORS BOARD

Charles w. Wilson, member of
the Matanuska Electric Associa-
ton board of directors, this week
announced his resignation from
the Board. Wilson was elected to
the board at the 1855 annual
membership meeting. Because
It was the membership which
elected mel am submitting my
resignation to them through the
media of newspapers, he said
this week.
The following text is copy of
the letter resignation as submit
ted by Mr. Wilson, citing many
Of his reasons for resigning from
the Board of Directors of the
M.E.A.
TO the Members of the
Matanuska Electric Association:
AT the annual meeting of your
Association you elected me to
serve on the Board of Directors
for a tWo-year term. | want to
take this opportunity to express
ny appreciation for the conf
denee you have shown. In con-
sideration of that confidence be-
IieVe Il my duty to offer my resig-
nation to you, to become effective
April Is, 1856. for your action at
the annual meeting Of the mem
bership. n
7 am rendering this resignation
because il has been quite clear to
ne for several months that I am
not in accord with the majority Of
the members of the Board II was
my desire to leave the Board last
August. | did not resign at that
time because you elected me and
I felt you should have the right
to elect my successor rather than
that it be a Board appointment.
Insofar as the regular activ
tiles of the Matanuska Electric
Association a small rural electric
cooperative distributing power to
a primarily rural area, are con-
cerned, there has been surpris-
ing amount of harmony on the
Board.
1T is in those activities outside
of this field that I am not in ac-
cord with some of the other
members of the Board. 1t is my
opinion that since ME.A. has
operated as a distribution coop
erative for thirteen years, any
radical change in its activities
would be a proper matter of dis
cussjon by the membership, es-
pecially when this change was to
take place only matter of weeks
after the annual membership
meeting.
ut was not on the basis of legal
authority, because your Bylaws
as amended grant the authority
to the Board to join associations
such as Central Alaska Power
Association. I do not see eye to
eye with some other members on
making unsecured loans such as
was done on two occasions this
year. You were lead to believe
