This program has been sub- mitted to and approved by PWA and City officifls and indorsed overwhelmingly by local property owners when first presented. / In entering into this contract and taking the necessary steps for sub- mitting the question to the citizens of Juneau, the Mayor and the City Council felt that it was an unusual opportunity to get badly needed public improvements at a considerable saving. Were is not for the fact that the Government, through the PWA, pays for 30 per cent of the labor and material expended, and the further circumstance that the City will be obliged to do most of the work pro- posed within the next year or two or three years anyway, the matter would not have been considered. ON NO OTHER GROUNDS WOULD AN INCREASE IN THE PUBLIC DEBT BE JUSTIFIED. It is reliably estimated that the interest charges on the bonds proposed to be issued to pay for the cost of the paving and other work planned would be less than the present annual cost of the streets, sidewalks, bridges, etc., in- volved. It costs a great deal of monéy to constantly patch and renew wooden sidewalks, regrade and fill dirt streets and repait shaky, wooden bridges. Perma- nent construction would ecliminate practically all' maintenance costs of this char- acler. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM The Public Works Administration agrees to purchase up to $80,000 worth of bonds carrying four per cent interest and payable in 20 annual installments, beginning July 1, 1935. Congress authorized the City of Juneau, subject to proval of property owners, to issue $103,000 in bonds, and the voters will pass on this amount; but under no circumstances will the City Council undertake to sell more than $80,000 worth. The amount may not exceed $50,000. The estimated cost of the various projects is listed as follows: (1) Paving and regrading streets and sidewalks, $51,400; (2) Installing sewer and water pipes, $2,750; (3) Replacing Gold Creek bridge at Calhoun Avenue, $5,000; (4) Constructing concrete hulkheads on Calhoun and Gastineau Ave- nues, $12,850; (5) Constructing refuse incinerator to climinate present unsanitary gar- bage dump, $25,000; (6) Engineering, superv However, after allowing for the 30 per cent of cost of labor and material that will be refunded by the Government and cutting the cost of engineering, etc., at least in half, which can be done, the net maximum amount that the City would ising, and other overhead expense, $6,000. borrow—at four per cent—through the PWA loan bonds would be about $70,000. If the City is able to work out a more economical and simple method of disposing of garbage than through the construction and operation of an incinerator that item will be eliminated from the program. At any rate, no hasty action will be taken in the matter. IMPROVEMENTS OF PERMANENT NATURE It is estimated that to complete the paving of the downtown district be- tween 4th St. and the Alaska-Juneau property atid to pave Calhoun Avenue from 4th to Gold Belt Ave., a heavily traveled thoroughfare, will cost approximately $41,000. Of this amount the City would recover 30%, or $12,300, making the net cost $28,700. Badly needed concrete sidewalks in this arca and in other parts of the city would cost about $7,000, after allowing for the 30% labor and material refund from the PWA. Parts of the high-pressure water system for fire protection purposes must be rebuilt and additional concrete sewers installed in the very near future. The sum of $2,750 has been allotted for this item. The old wooden bridge over Gold Creek at Calhoun Ave. has outlived its usefulness and must be replaced or undergo extensive repairs within a year. It is proposed to replace this structure with a concrete bridge 100 feet below the present site, with a direct approach from 12th St. The sum of $5,000 has been allotted for this purpose. Voters will be asked to approve bonds to the extent of $12,850 for con- structing concrete bulkheads on Gastineau and Calhoun Avenues. This work is of urgent necessity and cannot be delayed much longer. The PWA' loan would allow the City to save 30 per cent of the cost of labor and material. WORK LET ON BIDS The agreement with the PWA provides that all work, whenever possible, must be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The work will be split into a number of projects to give that much more opportunity to spread the jobs among contractors. Provision for a 30-hour week will insure the employment of the greatest number of men. Competent men will be engaged by the City to supervise the construction work and to see that the City receives full value for every dollar spent. And everything done under this program must have the ap- proval of Governor Troy as representative of the PWA. BONDS ISSUED AS NEEDED If the voters approve the bond issue work will be started at the earliest possible date. However, much of the work cannot be completed until next spring on account of weather conditions. y " 1t should be clearly understood that the City is not obliged to borrow the money through sale of bonds EXCEPT AS THE FUNDS ARE NEEDED, thus keeping interest charges down to a minimum. 1t should also be stated that the City is not required to borrow the full amount authorized by the PWA. It can restrict its financial commitments to whatever lesser amount the circumstances may in the judgment of the City Council warrant. The Mayor and the members of the City Council pledge themselves, in the event that the voters authorize the bond issue, to expend the money available in the most economical and efficient manner possible, on permanent improvements that are actually needed and that when completed will be a source of pride to the people of Juneau as well as prove to be an investment that will materially reduce the operating expenses of the City. , ONLY PROPERTY OWNERS VOTE Under the terms of the act passed by Congress only qualified electors whose names appear on the last (1934) assessment roll may vote on this bond 1ssue. Remember that there is but one polling place—at the fire truck room in the City Hall. Polls are open from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. BE SURE TO VOTE ON EACH OF THE SIX PROPOSITIONS SUBMIT- TED. Vote either for or against but do not fail to vote on each proposition. A majority of votes cast is required to earry or reject any proposition. Any further information desired by citizens will be gladly furnished at the City Clerk’s office. They are urged to make a personal investigation of the need of the proposed projects. % < 5 X THE MAYOR AND CO) COUNCIL , OF THE CITY OF JUNEAU. . F§ & 5 ¥ i
