Annexation
Jack B. Eason, Regional Health Officer for the Territory
and Cal Winey, Sanitary Engineer for the Territory, were re
cent Kodiak visitors in conjunction with the sanitary survey
conducted outside the City limits on Mission Road. Both men
commented on the excellent spirit of cooperation shown by
the people residing in the area and they were both in accord
with the annexation of the area to the City of Kodiak.
According to Doctor Eason’s statement. “There was
n> ted several opposing opinions on how the sanitary problems
of the area might best be remedied. Certainly the Alaska De
partment of Health isn’t here to dictate how a community
shall serve its own needs. We ask that the people living in the
Mission Road area DO CONSIDER THE LONG RANGE!
COSTS OF TEMPORARY TYPES OF CORRECTION PRO-j
CEDURES, THE EFFICIENCY WITH WHICH THESE |
WILL SERVE THEM, and to ASK QUESTIONS CONCERN.!
ING THE ENGINEERING of any proposed program for sanij
tation services. We want to assure the people that no matter
how they handle this problem, we are here to help them
when needed.”
To finance any sewage disposal system under Federal assis
tance, it is necessary to be an incorporated group. This is just
one of many reasons why the MissionRoad area should become
part of the City.
Then too is the matter of fire and police protection that is to
be gained through annexation, that at the present time costs
you nearly quadruple what it would if you were in the City i
and the service would become mandatory.
One person living in the area made the statement that he
was against annexation because he would ratner wait until all!
the property around him was developed, thereby increasing!
the value of his property; before he would sell. Sort of a’dog
in the manager’attitude for oiie property owner to feel toward
his adjoining fellow property owner isn’t it?
