NOTICE
To the people in the area out
side the oicy limits of Kodiak as
a suggestion from the people of
the City of Kodiak.
It is suggested that immediate
steps be taken to organize the
residents of the outside area for
the purpose of cooperating with
the residents of Kodiak in form
ing a consolidated school district
in accord with the 1935 Session
Laws of Alaska, Chapter 77 as
amended by Session Laws of
1946, Chapter 7.
It is obvious to all who are in
terested in the education of the
children that the financing of
the schools for the balance of
this year, at least, will have to
be subsidized by the people. The
Territorial government does not
have sufficient income to cover
ail the territorial expense and,
at best, the schools will receive
only a pro-rata portion of their
approved budget.
It is also obvious that ibis
burden should be born by all
the people and not by any public
spirited few. We don’t know just
yet what means will be used to
finance the school for the bal
ance of this year. It is, however,
quite certain that the town
people will support any neces
sary program that wili keep the

FOR 150 YEARS
The United States Government has paid
the principal and interest on its bonds
when due. Their worth is unquestioned.
U. S. Savings Bonds, Series E, yield 2.9
per cent interest if held to maturity, 10
years It is the highest rate paid on any
U. S. bond sold now. These and other
U. S. bonds for sale through
uuiiuoi open Tor iho Daiauce of
this year but the general opinion
is that they will hesitate to com
mit themselves for a longer per
iod of supporting a consolidated
school unless the people in the
consolidated area show that they
are willing to cooperate and or
ganize in the approved manner
and share the expense by paying
their regular assessment, which
would be made by the school
district and which is estimatd
would be about six mills.
With a consolidated school
district that portion of the ap
proved budget that has to be
born by the eommunity would
be raised by taxing all property
in the school district. The out
side area would be taxed direct
ly by the school district thru an
assessor appointed by a duly
elected directorship of five men.
This tax would be, as previously i
stated, approximately six mills..
'The eity property would be tax
ed on the same ratio for school
|expense. The city would not tax
! the town property this six mills
in addition to the twenty mills
they are already paying but
would assess only that addition
al amount which would make up
a total of twenty mills including
the school district assessment.
Thus all of the community being
served would be paying their
just portion of the school ex
pense, no more or no less
It is also suggested that the
residents of the outlying area or
ganize a fire protective associ- j
ation, or its equivalent. Such an |
j association could make provision
| for the protection of homes in
the area ty either providing
equipment and a volunteer de
partment or by making financial
arrangements with the eity
which would permit their run
ning their equipment outside the
city without incurring extra ex
pense for the city taxpayers.
Such associations have worked
out satisfactorily in other com
munities and no doubt would
receive every consideration here.
It is imperative that some ac
tion along these lines be taken
without delay as the retrench
meat program or some ot tne in-1
surai cd companies indicate that
they may at any time refuse to
write insurance on property in
vnprotecied areas This would
work a hardship on people who
at present own property in such!
' an area and make the financing j
! of future building there, to say j
the least, difficult
A water district or cooperative
of s^me kind should also be con
sidered. It would be a great J
asset to the area. Possibly not
all of the a ea could be included
in such a project at the begin |
ning but under proper direction
such an association could be ex
panded to take in a greater num
ber of homes as conditions per
mitted The city would consider
favorably selling water at the
city limits to such a group.

Douglas Fugene Sandifer, in
fant son of Cheif and Mrs
George B. Sandifer, was interred
at Mountain View Cemetery at
i ora Friday, Oct. 31. Chaplain
M. H Twitchell conducted the
funeral service.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert C Spur
way are the parents of a daugh
ter, born Oct. 25, weight 7 lbs. 6
oz. The baby is the second child
born to the couple, and will be
named Nancy Lee.
Baby Charles Magnuson and
Baby David Olsen occupied the
children’s ward for two days.
Jean Gardner, of King Cove,
had her tonsils removed Friday.
Several delays are being en
countered in the installation of
the new x-ray equipment Spec
ial wiring must be installed, and
some necessary parts must come
from Seattle before the work can
be completed. However, it is
hoped that two more weeks at
the most will be sufficient to
have the new department operat
ing efficiently.
Just one year ago the idea of a
new x ray department became at
least a possibility with the gj|.
from the Navy community che*

the canneries brought another
sizeable addition, but it istoj,
feared that when the expeos#
are added, the two accounts «j(
not be in perfect balance.
