City Buys Two Diesel Units For Power System
The city commission approved purchasing two dual fuel base load diesel generators rated 2,000 kw each from Fairbanks Morse for 434000 total. Installed near the north northwest city limits, they will be remotely operated from the main plant and built with a small housing building. Financing is via revenue bonds. The units increase firm capacity and can operate on natural gas with oil start, switching automatically if gas is cut. The project aims to meet peak demand and provide reliability until a federal power line is built.

Arbitrators rule to cut 90 percent of firemen jobs on trains
Washington AP reports a seven member board ruled 90 percent of firemen positions on diesel yard engines and freight trains should be eliminated by attrition or with job protection for most of the about 40 000 union members affected. The decision grants complete protection for firemen with 10 years or more service, and requires other firemen with less than 10 years to be offered other jobs with comparable pay. The issue of crew size is sent back as a local matter. Union leaders vow to challenge the ruling in court and press for negotiations before the Feb 25 emergency expiration.
