Miami is ‘Just Like A
Dream,’ Say Paul Tiulanas
“It’s just like a dream,” says
Mrs. Paul Tiulana of King Island, \
who with her husband, were
guests of the Deauville Hotel,
Alaska Airlines and Northwest
Airlines for a two-week trip to
Miami, Fla.
“People ask such silly questions
about Alaska,” said Paul Tiulana.
They don’t seem to know much
about Alaska, and are surprised
that we know anything about the
48 states in the other part of our
country.”
Paul was made an honorary
member of the police force of
Miami while there, and pictures
taken on the trip are now on
display in the window of Polet’s
Store.

Three Named to
Study Rates for
City Utility
The Nome Power and Light
Co. proposed to the City Council
Monday evening that the light
and power rates be as follows:
For one to 300 kilowatts, 10 cents;
and all over 300, IVz cents.
Manager for the Light and
Power Utilities Luther Dunbar
stated he felt no reduction should
be made at this time, as interest
is being paid on the indebtedness
of the plants and should be liqui
dated first. However, the pro
proposed rates would reduce the
incoma of the company about
$16,000. There was much discus
sion on this matter, and many
suggestions and questions from
the floor.
At its last mee'ting, the Council
had proposed the rates of 10 cents,
9 cents and 7 Yi cents. A commit
tee of Councilman Doyle, Utility
Board member Les Keller, and
■ Charles West is to make a rate
study and report at the January
25 meeting of the Council.
Additional street lights for sev
eral parts of town, particularly
in the Hospital area, was recom
mended at the meeting.
The City is in receipt of a letter
advising that the estimated cost
of the school, $707,GOO was more
than the actual cost, which was
$681,481, and which reduced the
bonded indebtedness of the City,
so that it can cancel 13 $1,000
bonds, and part of. another.
This leaves the city owing $200,
000 on the school at this date.
There was some discussion on
the fate of the Federal Jail and
whether the State or the City
should take it over. The request
was made by Paul Winsor, Com
missioner of Health and Welfare,
that a decision be made so that
administration costs could be
determined.
Senator Bronson requested the
City to turn over the Civil De
fense jeep pumper to North Pole,
Alaska, as it is not needed here
since the new truck has been in
use. The City agreed to do so if
it could be reimbursed $600 for
the investment made.
Cora Lee West, granddaughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lee, and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
West of Seattle, is spending the
Christmas holiday here.
Mrs. Hubert Gilbert, wife of
Judge Hubert Gilbert of the
District Court, was honored with
an informal tea yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. George
Bayer, with Mrs. John McNees
as co-hostess.
