Letter to the Editor
Following is Wally Nelson’s
formal declaration to seek the of
fice of mayor of Kodiak.
It is my decision to participate
in the coming election for the may
or of Kodiak.
I am not a politician. This is
the first time I have ever felt in
clined to run for any public office.
However, the need for definite,
and determined action is so obvious
in Kodiak that something must be
done, and done quickly. I am there
fore appealing to every resident
regardless of group affiliation to
come out and do his part at the
polls at this coming election.
My program is simple, and to the
point:
FIRST: I am absolutely opposed
to any tax increase in any area
until more results can be shown
from the money already being re
ceived.
SECOND: The streets of Kodiak
must be black topped at once. The
condition of these streets is inex
cusable. There is no reason why
this hazardous, and unhealthy con
dition should be allowed to con
tinue year after year. I’m sure that
the thousands and thousands of
miles of black-topped roads
throughout the nation including
Alaska attest to the fact that it
is a practical solution, and certain
ly not beyond the price possibility.

THIRD: A full scale program for
a complete and adequate recrea
tion center is of extreme import
ance for all ages. It is not necessary
to ask for tax money to do thi3.
All it will take is community co
operation. This will be a self sup
porting venture on a nonprofit
basis designed to furnish whole
some recreation for all ages in
many types of activities including
swimming, ice and roller skating,
a community auditorium, dancing
facilities for all ages, and snack
concessions suitable for this type
of community center.
FOURTH: To establish harmony
and cooperation between the resi
dents of Kodiak and their city gov
ernment, and between Kodiak as
a city and naval base. We may feel
quite independent due to our
wealth of industry, but we must
not forget the purpose that the
naval base plays in a much larger
picture.
Along with this will be a recom
mendation to establish a hiring
commission composed of officials
already available and at no addi
tional expense to interview all per
manent status job applications for
city positions. By permanent I
mean any job normally expected
to exist more than six months. City
jobs could then be classified and
treated accordingly. I will urge
that a retirement program be es
tablished for city employees.
Precedent for hiring should be
given local residents in all posi
tions, both temporary and perma
nent.
FIFTH: To continue on with
present proposals for a more ade
quate water supply, sufficient for
all community needs. This must
be brought to a satisfactory con
clusion within the next three years.
A deadline must be set, and every
possible means applied to meet this
deadline. This unusual summer
weather has dramatically pointed
out to all, the simple fact that the
present sources will not be ade
quate. It is no time to stop on
this problem yet if Kodiak is to

have more industry, well watered
lawns, gardens, swimming pools,
and washed streets. This just isn't
the time to stop.
SIXTH: I will earnestly work
for more and better class rooms
for Kodiak’s fine school system.
The present system is rapidly be
coming too small if it hopes to
keep up with the rapid growth
of this community. The local
school board should have the ac
tive support of the city govern
ment.
SEVENTH: Kodiak’s small boat
harbor is already too small. Sev
eral ideas are in the wind for a
solution. We should get going. The
fishermen both local and transient
represent the major source of our
economy. What are we waiting
for? The fishermen of Kodiak are
the producers of this city. Let's
treat them that way. They should
receive every consideration within
reason, to encourage them to move
in their families with the idea of
staying a while. Every considera
