A Challenge To Voters
Kodiak voters must be exceptionally alert when they go
to the polls October 2, because of the numerous issues that
will appear on the ballots.
In the general election voters will be asked to select
four councilmen and a mayor. They will also be asked to de
cide a $750,000 bond issue.
The Independent School District election, which is held
at the same time as the general election, calls for the selection
or three school board members and a decision on a bond issue
for a new school.
In addition voters will also be asked to render a decision
on the application of Mrs. Tenora Rockney for a bus line fran
chise.
It would appear that the voters will have all the fun
and the judges and clerks of the election all the headaches.
In the past Kodiak has had some heated and closely
contested elections. The combination of a warm election and
the many issues the voter must decide should provide a chal
lenge to the voters and bring out a large vote.

FIRE and WATER and VOTES
Winter cold snaps freeze the springs and little streams that
furnish city water. Then we need a dam and stored water to fight
fires.
Everyone who has lived in Kodiak a winter or two has heard
the fire siren on a windy night and shuddered. He knew the water
supply was low. How far would the fire spread?
Now Kodiak has a chance to get the water supply to fight
fires. The Alaska Public Works will pay half the cost in cash. The
City of Kodiak may pay its half with its bonds.
The bonds will be paid off during the next 20 years, at 2%
interest. How can Kodiak afford not to accept this offer?
The bond issue must carry by a two-thirds vote or be lost.
Do your part and vote YES on October 2.
