NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. ABOUT PAYING BILLS Mayor Fred Hanford of Wrangell was telling us | the other day about how well the Wrangell city-owned electric light and power company has done—so well in fact that the city has a cash balance in this fund of $15,793.30 in addition to $20,000 in United States War Bonds, which we admit is quite a tidy figure. This proves several things to us. In the first Vice-President | Managing Editor | Business Manager | ;sr\mt\ $20,000 worth of Wrangell school bonds which, if Wrangell has so much cash on hand, some $35,000, should be paid off now if they're ever going to be paid off, | But last sion Wrangell lobbyists came in and. | took the Territory for more by getting a bill through the Legislature canceling even the interest due the Territory on the bonds for a period of 10 years. That's a good system and Wrangell is making it work. Juneau and the other cities in Alaska should get their hands in the pork barrel.

We have come quite a way since the mentally {ill were believed possessed of the devil, but there is a | | terribly long way to go before we have full medical | command of the ailing mind. That was vividly impressed upon us by a dispatch | from Detroit the other day, telling of a mad pianist, n inmate of the Wayne County General Hospital's psychiatric ward, who enthralled 300 of the nation’s top teachers of music in a weird concert, playing with amazing 1l the most intricate masterpieces of Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven. A noted conclusion, his audience of music teachers applauded thunderously.

The rate starts at 10 cents per kilowatt hour. Juneau’s top rate is 6 cents per kilowatt hour. The city is building up a big surplus at the expense of the electricity consumer. In the second place, if Wrangell is so well off financially, it proves to us that the Territory of Alaska was taken for a “ride” last year when the Legislature was in session.
