 ALWAYS BRING RESULTS
The frontiersman., 1956-05-03

A lawsuit charging three form er Directors of the Matanuska Electric Association with illegally holding office was filed in Dis trict Court in Anchorage on Mon day of this week. Those named in the complaint were Justine Parks of Chugiak, Bruce Graham of Butte, and Charles Wilson of Pal Yner.
 However, today a copy of an Amended Complaint was receiv- ed in the office of The Frontiers man which names only Mrs. Parks and Graham.
 The court action was filed by James D. Frey as plaintiff who is being represented by Attorney salph H. Cottis. The plaintiff seeks: l. That the rights, if any, of the defendants each to hold the office of director of Matanus- ka Electric Association, Inc. be determined. 2. That judgment be granted excluding each of said defendants from the office of di- rector of Matanuska Electric As sociation, Inc. 3. That each de- fendant be fined $2,000 for un- lawfully exercising the office of director of Matanuska Electric Association, Inc.
 A telegram to the Administra- tor of Rural Identification Ad- nninistration was sent by the law firm of Henenthal, Hellenthal and Cottis advising him that pro- .ceedings commenced questioning the right of the defendants to continue to act as directors and suggesting it advisable to hold any current matters in abeyance until the court had rendered a decision.
 The complaint is believed to be an aftermath of thestWo mention ed board members refusal to seat board members elected at the an- nuaJ membership meeting April l4. During the annual meeting an election was held to fill the ex- piring terms of Justine Parks and Bruce Graham. At the meeting, board members Charles Wilson submitted his resignation and members voted at that time to fill the vacancy created by his resignation by naming the third high nominee to that seat. The high three elected at that meet ing were James Hurley, 5l1 votes: C. Ivan Branton, AT votes; and Harold Thuma, 414 votes. Hurley and Branton were to fill the terms of Mrs. Parks and Graham; Thuana to complete Will sonss term.
 During the Board of Directors meeting held April B resolu ton was passed upholding letters of protest that the election was not conducted according to the Associations bylaws. Voting in favor of the resolution were Jus tine Parks, Bruce Graham, and Phil O'Neill. Voting against were Aaron Combs and Charles Will son. Although Wilson had pre- sented his resignation to the membership on April IA, he was advised by the MEA attorney

AAA Bourd Unit
Books Present Law
To Speed Bridge

The executive committee OF
the American Automobile Asso-
cations District Advisory Board
has urged the Army Engineers
to try to clear construction of
the proposed Jones Point Bridge
within the framework of the
present legislation"
AS now written. the bridge
bill would require a vertical
clearance Of approximately" 40
feet and a navigation clearance
between bridge piers of approx
imately" $50 feet.
Federal road officials believe
this language would permit clear
ances of so feet and ITS feet.
The ITS feet between navigation
piers, however, still is short Of
the distance requested by navi-
CATION interests. The question is
whether the Army Engineers will
issue a permit for construction
within the existing legislation,
or whether the bill must be sent
back to Congress for a change.
The AAA unit urged that
every consideration" be given
TO working out the clearances
within the present legislation so
that construction contracts may
be let at the earliest possible
date"

'Foirfox Seeking Focts
On'Norfolk Bond Sale

Fairfax County school officials
today pressed an inquiry into
last weeks bond sale after see
ing that Norfolk Jared much
better in a school bond offering
yesterday.
Fairfax sold So million in
school construction bonds last
Thursday at an average interest
rate of Ala. Only one bid was
Offered. Norfolk yesterday sold
$2.5 million in school bonds to
the lowest of three bidders at
a 3.89 interest rate.
The Fairfax County School
Board, which last night in
Istructed its staff to probe cir
Icumstances surrounding the
bond sale, said it wanted to
know:
l. Was the board given proper
legal advice when told the bid
had to be accepted or rejected
Immediately?
2. Would it have been wiser
to use a private financial con-
sultant for the bond sale, in
stead of offering the bonds
through the Virginia State De-
Ipartment Commission?
3. Why did Norfolk get three
bids while Fairfax received only
one?
Question Need for Haste
Chairman Hills Lory said he
couldn't understand why Nor
folk appeared to have time to
ponder the bid, whereas Fairfax
didn't.

Weep" asked Mr.. Lory. IF not,
someone should pay and pay

the bond session, he had asked
the school boards attorney, John
Alexander, if the bids had to be

told I'VE absolutely had to re-
ject or accept that bid then and

this result from a political lever?'
Ask Longer Deliberation
The staff was instructed to ask
Mr.. Alexander If in future bond
sales the, school board can
arrange for from "a to 48 hours
elaboration.
Mr.. Alexander said today that
bids had to be acted on the day
they were opened because notice
lof the bond sale specified that
the award would be made or
declined on that date.
Mr.. Alexander said he was
asked after the bid was opened
whether the school board could
consider it for two or three days
and he replied that could not
be done because Of the language
Iof the sale notice.
Mr.. Lory said it was likely
Norfolk had better financial
rating than Fairfax County,
which might account for the
cheaper interest rate in Norfolk,
Mr.. Lory recalled that the
week end before Fairfax sold its
bonds a delegation from Fairfax
visited New York and was told
that there would be economic
sanctions against Virginia by
New York bond houses because
of the States new nti-:ntegra-
ton laws.
The board authorized the staff
to advertise for bids on four
new school projects as soon as
plans are ready. The four, to
be financed from the So million
issue sold last week. are a three
room addition to Louise Archer
Elementary; Wakefield Elemen-
tary, eight rooms; Kent Gardens
Elementary, 20 rooms, and North

The board modified its previ-
Gus policy of placing all first
graders on halliday sections,
except in rural areas, by per-
hitting the school board to make
exceptions of those schools where

Council DELAYS
Tax Rate Rise

Alexandria City Council has
postponed setting new tax rates
until December 26.
Councilmen last night heard
mixed public reaction to a tenta-
tive budget estimate of $10,-
920,66l for the fiscal year
beginning July /. After the
hearing. 1t was voted to ask City
Attorney v. Floyd Williams
whether it would be legal to
postpone setting the new rates
until closer to the beginning OF
the fiscal year. In previous years
Mr.. Williams has held that the
deadline is January /.
| At the direction of the council
City Manager Edward G. Heat
wole made public his tentative
budget estimates.
The total estimate is $989, SIT
above the current budget and
represents a reduction of $1,176,-
949 in requests by city depart
mentS.
Mr.. Heatwole said that the
school board requested an in
crease of $532.548 to a new total
of 81, 492, 800. The manager in
cluded only 100000 of the re-
quested school increase in his
tentative budget estimate.
Mayor Leroy Bendheim said
it was up to Alexandra citizens
to decide whether to curtail
services and maintain present
tax rates or to authorize addi-
tional revenue.
In the audience Mrs. Helene
Mcdonald of GOT Queen street
and a number of other speakers
urged the council to hold the
line" and "call a halt on ali
spending for a couple of years.
Stuart Morrison of the North
Ridge Citizens Association and
several other speakers said they
believe services should not be
curtailed even if it means some
necessary increase in taxes.
Comments by Mayor Bend
helm, several councilmen and
speakers in the audience left nc
doubt that a sales tax would be
preferred to a, rise in present
taxes. But until Arlington and
Fairfax Counties are given State
authority to impose a sales tax
Alexandria can not afford to
impose one, the Mayor said. Only

million school bond issues. But
a bid of 3.89846 for $2.5 million
worth Of general improvement
bonds was rejected.
Gov. Stanley took note Of the
Norfolk bond issues, and said
that the bid on the school
bonds was slightly better
than on the general Improvement
bonds is definite proof that bid
ders realize school bonds are as
sound as any bonds counties and
cities in Virginia could issue"
But Norfolk's Mayor w. Fred
Duckworth said the city would
not have sold these bonds If
these school buildings had not
already been built or under con-
struction."
He added he thought the bids
showed very definitely" that
there is a disadvantage to school
bonds and that the general i'm
provement bonds would have
brought lower bids If they had
been sold separately.
Mayor Duckworth said the in
terest rate on the school bonds
was 1.27 per cent higher than the
last bond issue sold by the city.
and he termed it entirely too
high"
He said the city and school
officials would have to get to-
Igether between now and the first
of the year and work out a new
program based on what the city
can now afford. I'VE can't con-
tinue to build school buildings on
this basis" he said.
Mayor Duckworth explained
that the money from the SIS
million school bond issue would
be used to replace funds already
taken from the capital improve
'ment account to pay for the
school buildings already built or
under construction.
The high interest rate was at
tributed unoficially to a probable
