" . . . that government of the people, by the people,
for the people shall not perish from the earth-'—Lincoln
The Coming City Election
Elections, muncipal or otherwise, are always of a far-reaching
importance to every individual concerned, but sometimes a com
bination of circumstances contribute to make an election more im
portant than usual. The city election to be held April 7 is one of
the latter.
Kodiak has received grants- for sewers, water, and schools - and
effective use of these under the hindrance of war will require cap
able handling. The KEA, while out of the formative stage, has
much work ahead of it and a capable council to work along with
KEA officers will be an asset.
Revenues and finances for any city are a constant problem: for
a newly Incorporated city it is oaramount that the right steps be
taken early to assure adequate revenues aud sound financing.
Roads, transportation, civic improvement and management, and
reflations with other civic and military bodies all will come within
, the ken of the new city officials. Judgment and intelligence are
^prerequisites for problems like these.
That is why it is of especial importance for the intelligent voter
to register and vote—in an intelligent manner.
Kodiak's future depends on it.
Many and Often
The bond drive for purchasing a bomber to be christened “The
Spirit of Alaska” is over, and now it is up to every individual to
Mart his own private bond campaign.
For the local drive was only a beginning, and with more goods
aud more equipment and more war material needed more likewise
will be required to pay for them.
The government, which is you, is depending in a large part on
the proceeds from defense bonds and stamps to pay for the war
effort. And that is one drive for defense that will not end until the
war does.
“Buy as many as you can—as often as you can!”
