WALTER STUART- MANAGER OFKPU ~ JUNEAU VISITOR Declaring A publicly - owned 1 utilities would work out if they were | kept out of politics, Walter P. Stuart, Manager of Ketchikan Pub- lic Utilities and member of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska, told of a recent trip he | made to Washington, D. C, and| New York City. The trip was in connection with the proposed new | bond issue Ketchikan is planning to float if the voters on November 14! vote for project Arriving in Washington, Stuart found that the Beaver Falls project had been turned down the day be- fore. After he presented the en- gineers with more data the project was then approved. 1 Under the present plan the gov- ernment will grant $125,000 to the City of Ketchikan, $150,000 will be raised by a bond issue, and the re- mainder will come out of the reserve fund of utility. Stuart said the power project is being strongly backed by the revived Municipal Ownership League which has, he says, no official connection with KPU. Leaving Washington, Stuart went to New York City where he had the municiual bonds of Ketchikan rated by Moody Investment Service. He also conferred with Dun and Brad- street, and retained the firm of Wood, Hoffman, King and Dawson, 48 Wall Street, as attorneys for all city bond issues. Stuart was told, .concerning the new bond issue to be raised if the voters say “yes” on November 14, that under certain eonditions the interest charged would come to less| than two per cent. Certain safeguards would have to be established if the low interest rate | was guaranteed. These are (1) All| funds of KPU, over and above oper- ating and return expenses, be set| aside in a special fund and not be used for anything except the util- ities. (2) The bonds be both revenue and general operation and have the taxing power of the city back of them. (3) That the bonds be issued by public bidding. Stuart has just returned from| Fairbanks where he attended a meeting of the Board of Regents of | the University of Alaska. Regents | present were Donohoe, Lathrop, | Hess, Nerland and Stuart. Walsh, Cochrane and Gilson were absent from the meeting, which last- | ed one day. Stuart said he had been working on a Southern Branch of the Uni- versity for Ketchikan to teach fish- -ries and forestry. He stated the project was comin there was a possi the school after the war. President Charles Bunnell of the university has taken an option on a piece of land in his own name and not the school’s. This, Siuart believes, is the first step toward building the school. Stuart stated Ketchikan was the logical place to locate such an insti- tution as they have the fish and on the West Coast, nearby, most of He stated that Dr. Bunnell was in favor ber. much | branch.

Running the City of Juneau is a big, difficult, com- plicated and often thankless job. Admittedly, many mistakes are made by the Council. We feel, however, more justified in attempts to dis- credit the Council than they would be - in discrediting their employer if he were a private individual. No private business’ would tolerate an employee who failed to do several of his assigned duties; who engaged {in activies whose net result, whe- ther intentional or not,’ was to cast doubt as to the ability of the employer to properly conduct his business; and who personally spent time casting aspersions at his em- ployer. We see no reason why Mr. Antrim should be allowed to do such things as an employee of the City. More Reasons “During the course of the Council meeting of October 6, at which Mr. Antrim was removed, the Council because of pressure brought to bear by certain individuals upon whose toes Mr. Antrim was said to have | stepped. The fact that Mr. Antrim, | jsince that meeting, has openly en- impres- sion, confirms our opinion that our action in firing him was entirely in order. “It appears to us that Mr. An-| trim has been attempting to take| onto his own shoulders most, if not all, of the duties and powers | of a City Manager. We resent the high-handed manner in which he conducted himself while in office, particularly his efforts to set him- self up as the judge of whether the Council’s actions were right or wrong. The City Council's func- tion is to govern the City of Ju- neau, and we have no intention' of abdicating that function to any City employee, either by himself or in the company of others.
