pay 508 of all constructional costs, including the new high school and the

There was a discussion on putting a power plant in Wrinkle. Dr. Lind said
he had been talking with Mrs. Dolores Padilla on the possibility of going
through Alaska Village Electric. Also, Kodiak Electric is considering this,
although they feel they may lose too much money. The village people need
to show an interest to encourage same electrical association to care in.
