Williams Testifies on Mine's Power Contract —Session End Seen Alaska Electric Light and Power Company T hearing before the City Council brought out the following signifi- cant facts: | (1) The Alaska-Juneau Gold Mine will reopen, although no date was set. Last nights (2) The rate hearing will be over by next Monday. Joseph A Williams, ~ Alaska- | Juneau manager, testifying on the mine’s contract with the light com- pany, said: “If the mine reopens, or rather 1 should say when the mine re- opens, there will be a power short- age.” willlams went on to explain that thes cost of power production is higher when the mine is not oper- ating and that present utility rates are necessary to keep the A-J go-/ ing at all. Asked several times by City At- torney Howard D. Stabler if the mine had an obligation to supply, power to Juneau under terms of the peresent contract, Williams eventually replied: “We're in the mining business. We shall continue to furnish power through the light company as long as we can, but if we need power for mining we may have to cut the city off. | Gold Belt avenue. | failing to bring out any startl new angles. !BOARD oF REGENTS GRHE"mG p TE“S If they are approved by the Sen- Previously billed as last night’s | ate itself, they must also be agreed top witness, Charles Burt Holland, | To AwAIT REGU[AR SUDDE" (H‘NGE '“ [to by the House before the bill is light company untant, followed | sent to President Truman.
