Mr. Richard Gantz
Hughes, Thorsness, Lowe, Gantz & Clark
807 G St
Anchorage, Alaska
Dear Mr. Gantz:
On December 22, 1970, Judge Ralph Moody entered
judgment against the City of Seward and in favor of
petitioner Robert Glud, et al. At the time of entry of
judgment, and at the request of Mr. Jacobus, and with my
express consent, the Judge reserved until a later time the
question of costs and attorney fees incurred by plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs, in fact, have incurred $1,716 for
attorney fees and $258.39 in costs, in prosecuting their
action. Cost breakdown is as follows: $30.00 filing fee,
$18.60 process service, $67.49 Collect wire from Mr. McKeague,
$92.30 transcript cost, $50.00 miscellaneous costs for travel,
telephone, copies of documents.
I
As I stated in our conversation of today, I believe
that before either counsel prepares papers, including
memoranda on the issue of costs and attorney fees, the
position of the City should be explored, since Council may
wish to defray the costs and fees of the successful litigants
as a matter of fair play. In passing, I note that otherwise
(in the absence of a Court order on my application) the result
would be that the costs and fees of the unsuccessful mayoralty
candidate, the respondent Skinner, will have been paid in
their entirety by the,~ty, or at least I so presume, while the
costs and fees of the::;t;'Gccessful candidate, Glud, would have
been paid entirely by him and the co-plaintiffs. That result
would not seem to be equitable in view of the decision of
the Court by which important voter rights were heard and
determined and vindicated.
A review of Civil Rule 82 and 26 Am Jur 2d, "Elections",
section 363, would appear to indicate in any case that
attorney fees are recoverable, with other costs, by petitioners
Johnson, Glud, and Durkin. However, the City

may wish to avoid the inconvenience and expense of further
hearings on the issue by agreeing to pay these items as per the
foregoing.
I understand Council meets on Monday, December 28,
and I would appreciate knowing immediately thereafter whether
an application for costs and attorney fees is necessary.

The City Manager reported that in Precinct No.1, the Ballots by Del

with the City were inadvertently placed in the ballot box and could not
be recovered. There was no alternative but to count the ballots as
cast and so report the incident.
The City Manager reported that there were three challenged ballots in
Precinct No.2 belonging to Doris Welch, Emary Sample and Freida
Sample, that a registration check was made and that it was determined
that all three of the individuals were not registered for the 1970

having registered during the ensuing year.
The Council, in the interest of fairness, asked to examine the Poll
