City Vote To Decide On Army Dock Referendum
A Gallup poll style city vote will test voter wish to enter negotiations for a dock now held by the Army. The move follows a Fisheries Federation request to include a referendum on purchasing the dock without a further election. Local officials cite legal avenues for revenue bonds if the electorate approves. The Land Office has not declared the Army surplus, leaving the path to a possible separate ballot contingent on voter desire. Fishermen press for a vote before the fishing season, fearing absence of participation if it occurs later. The dock, owned by Benaft before the war, was taken over by the Army and is presently unused.
