WE PAY THE BILL
Monday the city council will determine the amount the
wharfage and handling rates will be raised at the city dock.
Merchants and others receiving freight and cargo by
ahip should attend the meeting.
At the last meeting of the council it was revealed that
the city is losing around one dollar on every ton of freight
handled by the longshoremen. Why does such a situation
exist? Yesterday a local merchant declared that wharfage and
handling rates in Seward are less than half those of Kodiak.
Local longshoremen work under a contract identical to
that of longshoremen in Seattle. We assume that the long
shoremen of Seward work under the same or similar contract.
Any raise in the charges on wharfage and handling will
be paid lor by the consumers, who are you and I. I
Some solution to th’s n^obiem must he found. Will the
solution be that we, the consumers, are to give the answer by
paying the bill?

It’s a little past Valentine's
Day, but Postmaster Maurice
Brians has been asked to play
Dan Cupid for a man in San
Bernardino, Calif., and is try
ing to decide whither to dis
patch his arrows.
fn a letter to the postmas
ter, the Californian asks him
to find him a wife, preferably
of Russian descent, from 25 to
40 years old, and with a dowry
of at least $20,000. The pro
spective husband has several
times that much he claims,
but he wants to be sure the
woman he marries, isn’t just
interested in him for money.
In an eight-page letter he
lists his virtues and few
faults, tells what he wants in
the little woman, describes his
estate, and enlists the aid of
the Kodiak postmaster, as he
says he has heard only the!
best about Kodiak women.
Any interested parties can
see Briggs. Oh yes. the-bride
to-be must be able to drive, as1
the bridegroom-to-be doesn’t'
like night driving. ...
