left a balance of $280.87 in the

At the Monday meeting a hear
ing was held on telephone rates.
Luther Dunbar, formerly mana
ger for the Alaska Telephone
Co., was the chief objector to the
increase in rates requested, stat
ing that the new company had
been in opration only a short
time, and he felt their costs were
not a true picture.

telephone ordinance was passed,
allowing increases in rates and
other stipulations and require
ments. The ordinance will be
posted in the City Building. The
new rates will go into effect on
August 15.

and to compare it with the pres
ent operation.
The first payment by the city
was authorized on the black-top
ping of Front Street, and
amounted to $6,650.
The Council approved putting
