The Convention Benefits Everyone
Kodiak businesses and residents were given a great
Opportunity this week to establish farmer'and friendlier re
lations with businessmen and residents from other Alaskan
•cities.
The second-annual convention of the Alaskan Terri
torial Elks Association held here the past week was the op
portunity given us for friendly relations and it also gave us a
good excuse to launch a clean up drive the week preceding
the convention.
A lot of residents would probably welcome a conven
tion here every year if the city work crew would fill in the
holes in the streets near the pavement and if it would get
Alaska Way and Main street washed down again.
How many conventions would it take to get Mission
and Mill Bay roads repaired? Would it take a convention or
would it take some new road equipment for the city work
men?
What ever it takes we are for it.
