" . . . that government of the people, by the people,
for the people shajl not perish from the earth.'—Lincoln
Letter To The Editor
An Open Letter:
I believe the taxpayers anc
citizens of Kodiak merit an ex
planation as to the reasons foi
my resigning from the common
council of the city.
I take this opportunity tc
thank you for the support which
gave me more votes at the last
election than any other council
man.
It has been my desiie to act
a« nearly fair and reasonab'e as
possible in all things pertaining
to city business However, it is
at present my firm conviction,
with due respect to everyone
concerned, that thp present city
government is failing to do the
things which you as the people
of the city of Kodiak put them
in office to do.
iney sit on your council and
say, “let's not do anything our
selves let the next council do it,
it’s only two or three months
until election", instead of doing
things, acting upon things, that
are vital to all concerned right
now. things such as city othces
being filled at huge salaries; men !
working on roads, filling holes
with trucks rented by the hour,
or yard, and then next day hay
ing graders grading the same
streets and roads
The question comes to me,
why are theee things permitted?
Is it because of promises made
by seme councilman to some
one? It is ihat they wish to
sp**nd hi cause it is taxpayers’
money? Are t hey afraid to step
on someone's toes? Or are they
ignorant of the fact that there
must be some time an end to all
this nonsense, and get down to
business and do the things that
will enable people to say they like
(it here and hope to stay.
Let the city do things for
themselves instead of expecting
someone else to always stand by
and give them & helping hand
with everything they do.
Election isn’t far away: it’s
food for thought.
Yours very truly
W. F. l ewis

I suggest, that we forget this talk about buying
War Bonds. We aren’t buying anything. We are
only lending our money. All that is happening is
that Uncle Sam wants to Borrow some money from
us, money that we will get back again And lending
our money in interest bearing War Bands is better
than having it taken away in taxes.

Role Explained
The War Shipping Adminis
tration has called to the atten
tion of all shippers the part of
the “Carriage of Goods by Sea
Aet„ wtiicti covers claims, as
follows:
“Unless notice of loss or dam
age and the general nature of
such loss or damage be given in
writing to the carrier or bis a
gent before or at the time of re
moval of goods into the custody,
such removal shall be prima
facie evidence of the delivery by
the carrier of the goods as de
scribed in the bill of lading.
“If the loss or damage is not
apparent, the notice must be
given within 3 days of delivery.
“Said notice may be endorsed
i upon the receipt for the goods
given by the person taking de
livery thereof.
"The written notice need not
be given if the state of goods
has at time of receipt been the
subject of joint survey.
j‘In any event the carrier and
the ship shall be discharged from
all liability unless suit is
brought within 1 year after de
livery of the goods: Provided,
that if a notice of loss or damage
is not given as provided, that
fact shall not effect or prejudice
the right of the shipper to bring
suit within 1 year after delivery
of goods.
“In the case of any actual or
apprehended loss or damage the
carrier and receiver shall give all
reasonable facilities to each
other for inspecting and tallying
the goods."

of one year from the day the
