The problems of fines being assessed against parking
violators in the City of Kodiak, by ti'e Police Department is
being approached from the view point of John Citizen. Of
course the first question Mr. Citizen will ask is “Why the
fine for over-parking?"
There are two different sides to every argument. In
this particular case the arresting authority undoubtedly wiil
say. “A law has been violated." That is granted, but when
Mr. Citizen out his five-cent piece in the meter he was abid
ing by the law and showed no intent to defraud or in any way
harass the local authorities.
A recent survey conducted by a Mr. citizen, ana letters
of substantiation show:
1. City of Alliance, Nebraska
“For the first three violations in ony one month—flue,
five cents — from the fourth offense on — one dollar for each
offense. The fine is also one dollar if the violator does not re
port the infraction within 24 hours.”
• D. A. Thomas
Chief of Police
2. City of Portland, Oregon
“Please be advised that the fine for overtime parkin^
on parking meters in the City of Portland is one dollar.”
Jim Purcell, Jr.
Chief of Police
S. City of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
“The disposition of an overtime parking meter ticket
in this City is one dollar.”
E. M. Enkemann
Chief of Police
4. Salt Lake City, Utah
“The fine for overtime perking at a meter in this City
is one dollar.”
From the Office of Police Dept.
Lets face the facts Gentlemen. These four cities are all
much larger than Kcdiak, with many more streets and
heavier traffic thereon: so why such an exhorbitant tax on
the violator here in Kodiak?
The three dollar fine assessed by the City, tends to
drive business out of town and causes animosity and hard
feelings between John Citizen and the powers that levy and
collect these fines.

Utilizing an effective^ zone
I defense the local High School
I basketball team defeated the
! Navy Crash Crew Squad to
the tune of 47 to 37 last Wed
nesday evening. The zone was
tight enough to hold the Crash
Crew five to four field goals
and 5 free throws in the first
half.
The offensive play also stood
out in the first half. Crash
Crew used a man-to-man de
fence which enabled the Bear
quintet to cut them to pieces
with their familar weave.
Speedy Bob Norton led the
attacking Bears with 15 points
followed closely by Bill Frost
with 11 digits. Hea was high
scorer for the Crash Crew
team with 11 points. .
The last half saw many sub
stitutions, all boys playing on
both squads. The rugged las
half brought Crash Crew *6
life with a “fire house” brand
of ball. To counter this the
local lads switched to a man
i to-man defence, which ex
| tinguished the flame in time
and came off the floor victors.
