Perhaps all Juneauites did not read and digest the information given out at a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting by Col. T. J. Tully, ACS Commander.
For instance he said that Alaska Communications System has an annual payroll in Southeast Alaska of about $350,000, employing 120 persons, both military and civilian. Of this amount, $150,000 comes to Juneau where 55 persons are staffed. He said that present plans call for the expenditure of an additional $50,000 in Juneau, and $110,000 each at Skagway and Ketchikan for expanded facilities. He said that ACS will be equal to anything in the States when present plans are completed.
Some good sized payroll for Juneau in itself that perhaps few here had stopped to consider.
Colonel Tully also explained the many recent improvements in service for ship-to-shore communications, telephone lines and radio broadcasting facilities. He said that ACS can now handle more business on its lines than can be transmitted to the States because of limits placed by Canadian and United States telephone facilities.
