Juneau—The House & Senate

League Holds
Phone Forum
The Kodiak Civic League,
with Chairman Olof Olsen pres
iding, met Thursday for a forum
on the telephone franchise
Lee Bettinger told membe-s
that from what information he
had available that Martha Kost
rometinoff, who seeks the fran
chise, planned tc put in an auto
matic system and had posted
$2000 performance bond to that
effect. The franchise, he explain
ed, was drawn from the one
granted her in Sitka with the
addition of the bond clause and
a time limit of 36 months for in
stallations of the system.
The rates, he added, as in any
business venture, would depend
on cost of installation and would
presumably be set on a sound
economic basis with the idea of
acquiring the largest number of
. installations possible.
Charles Madsen, president of
j the KEA board of directors,
outlined the proposed bill which
would set up a rural telephone
administration similar to the
11EA. If there were such a set
; up, he explained, phones oper
i ated by the KEA would have
i no 15 per cent tax, the system
I would eventually be owned by
I the users, and the management
| could be the same as the KEA.
| The KEA has nothing concrete
to offer at this time, he added,
and the whole plan is highly
problematical. If the bill were
passed and if Kodiak were grant
ed a system its installation
would probably be scheduled for
the post war period, he assumed
Max Folsom, who had pre
viously expressed a plan to pro
vide a telephone system here,
said he had withdrawn from the
field because of the impossib li y
of obtaining money at present
rates which would allow a pro
fitable inve-tment in the tel
ephone business
“As long as we don’t have the
KEA system and expect further
grovth for Kodiak, I suggest we
lend our help in getting the vot
ers to vote for the franchise as
I an improvement for our town,”
i Mr. Folsom said.
| In a wire received in Kodiak
yesterday Mrs. Kost.iometinoff
said she was leaving as soon as
possible for Kodiak but did not
know if transportation would
permit her arrival before the
election.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S Sftg
Longshore Boss
Explains Stand
To clear up misunderstand
about the removal of a soldier* ,
a jitney driver during unload i t
of the Lakina last week, El v-j
Foster, longshore walking bos
stated that the difficulty wt
strictly a hiring dispute
The military and longshoj
officials have co-operated on tfc
rule that civilian employes
be hired first, with the milit^.r
even supplying soldiers on lea.-^,
for unloading in case of eme,
gencies, he said. The union rul^
also provide that the longshore
men shall do their own hirir»s
he -dated, and removal of
soldier hired by Jim Trav-fj
which was unauthorized, wra
due to the fact that the lor*g
shore union had 16 men ava.il
ab'e for the quota needed to no
load the Lakina. The hirirj
dispute would have arisen, h
said, if the employe in questioi
had been a soldier or civiliaar
local or otherwise.
Foster also said the unloaditi]
was not delayed as the difficu! tr
was settled before the first slirm j
load came over. Jake Blar»c
who hired the men, said he turn
ed the list over to Foster an*
had nothing to do with the ar
gument. Blanc, who was die
patcher at the time, has resigned
that post and the union name*
Joe Heitman to replace him a.
a meeting Tuesday.
