Dear Bill,
There have been about fifteen
borough study group meetings and
this writer has attended all and
read all available material. Many
have requested that I write this
letter.
The First Class Borough is a
unit of local government whereby
the unit as a whole may bond itself
to help one particular area in the
unit. The same as the First Class
City of Kodiak which recently
bonded the entire city to build a
sewer system out on Mission Road
area. The residents who use the
services on Mission Road will pay
for the system. In the First Class
Borough the same applies. Nevei
would one pay for services they
don’t receive.
Would the First Class Borough
cost more? It would cost more than
the government we now have since
we don’t have a local government
at all that unites the whole com
munity. The First Class Borough
would use some of the same offi
cials that the city is now using
along with the city (the First
Class Borough would work with
the city on most projects and serv
ices). This writer believes the First
Class Borough would operate
cheaper than any other form of
borough since there is less red
tape.
The First Class Borough would
strengthen the bonding power of
the community when it comes to
through roads, airstrips, boat har
bors. The bonding power of the
school would stay the same as the
whole community is bonded for the
school at present. Our school is a
good example of he whole com
munity being organized.
What effect would a First Class
Borough have on the First Class
City of Kodiak. Since we would
have the bonding power of the
whole community there would be
possibilities of s.pwer systems be

King Crab Fit For A King
Big Game Hunter Alf Madsen who came to Kodiak from Copen
hagen, Denmark, when he was only 13 years old and whose English
vocabulary consisted then of two words, “pie” and “ice cream” re
cently decided he would like to send a Kodiak King Crab to King
Frederick IX of Denmark. He mentioned this to his good Norwegian
friend Odd Ronstad, skipper of the 82-foot North Beach who this
week obliged by bringing in the above giant speciman, which ac
cording to APA’s Tom McAlister, weighed out at the kingly total of
19Vz pounds. Madsen, along with the crab sent the king an invitation
to partake in a Kodiak Brown Bear hunt during the 1961 season.
Skipper Ronstad, who hopes to make a trip to visit the Scandinavian
countries later this year, is also sending one of our giant King Crab
to the King of Norway. (Ed Note: We are wondering if there mightn’t
be a Swede fisherman hereabouts who will take care of the King of
Sweden too!)
ing built at Jack Allman’s Addi
tion way and a sewer system being
l uilt out beyond the Beachcombers
around Mission Lake; this is badly
needed :;s the Mission children as
well as many others use Mission
Lake for recreation. I doubt if we
could raise enough bonds under
any other type of borough to o
the job. In other words we need
the help of the people to the First
Class City of Kodiak. We are will
ing to pay for our systems but we
need your help with the bonds.
This can be done under the First
C .•••? Borough—no other type.
I you want the First Class City
of Kodiak to be surrounded by sep
tic tanks; trails, not roads; wells,
not water systems; shacks, not
hoii-es then join in against the
Fir r Class Borough.
Bill, I believe any other type
nl borough olher than the First
Class type would be a road block
toward progress.
Sincerely,
Thurston T. Jackson
