Drivers vs Pedestrians
The police department is planning a traffic check on all
vehicles operating on the streets of Kodiak. It is planned to
give considerable attention to the parking problem.
We suggest that some study be given to the perennial
problem facing Kodiak drivers who must constantly and need
lessly give their attention to jaywalking pedestrians and their
children instead of to the rough roads, narrow streets and
blind corners confronting them.
Any driver, in a single day, can list dozens of instances
where only by extreme caution has he avoided striking some
careless pedestrian.
In nine cases out of 10 the public condemns the driver
if his vehicle strikes a pedestrian, before it hears or knows
the facts of the case.
A driver or motorist can, and usually does, extend the
c mrtesies expected by the pedestrian but he also has a right
to expect some thought and courtesy in return.

GROWTH
—$iE!k—
Suppose that 10 years ago Kodiak had gotten the water system,
the sewers and the school building with auditorium-gymnasium that are
being considered now. How easy it would be today to meet the 20-year
bond payments and the 2% bond interest. That is because Kodiak has
grown a lot in the past 10 years.
If the voters adopt the bond issues now, we believe that the burden
of paying for them will seem light. Kodiak can grow. There is room
here for more people, more jobs, more business. Our people and our
property owners will benefit.
Unless two-thirds vote yes, the improvements will be put off
indefinitely. Help Kodiak grow by voting YES on both of the bond
issues October 2.

evening at the union hall. He
said the proposals for the 1952
season show a large reduction
in the number of fishing days
and a five year closure for
son e areas.
Mayor Lee C. Bettinger told
of steps taken by Dupler, act
ing for the city, to terminate
the lease between the Kodiak
Ice and Cold Storage Co. Inc.,
and the city of Kodiak.
“We only have an incom
plete financial picture of the
company as there is no record
of it filing a financial state
ment for 1950,” Bettinger
said. He added that such a
statement should be filed once
a year.
He urged local stockholders
to meet and form some plan
whereby they could recover
their investments.
