‘We Should Proceed Cautiously,’ Says
Borough Chairman Charles A. Powell
Shortly after being sworn in as
chairman of the newly created
Kodiak Island Borough, Chairman
Charles A. “Chuck” Powell stated
he believed “we should proceed
cautiously” in implementing the
new governmental machinery. Fol
lowing is his prepared statement:
“We are embarking upon an en
deavor to formulate a form of gov
ernment new and alien to us here
in Alaska. Our course will be stud
ded with obstacles as large and
rough as the terrain of our new
borough. ,
“It is my hope that we shall put
together an intermediate form of
government between the state and
city levels which will endure for
all time. One which will prove to
be for the good of all our people in
our area and a credit to all who
have spent much time and effort
in bringing us to this stage of gov
ernmental development in the 6tate
of Alaska.
“As chairman of the Kodiak Is
land Borough, I wish at this time to
compliment the people in our area
for their selection of the men who
are to serve on the assembly. In
addition I wish to thank everyone
who participated in our recent elec
tion; those who were candidates
for office and all who exercised
their privilege to vote.
“In view of pending legislative
action during the next session of
the legislature and the possibility
of having a referendum vote next
August I believe we should proceed
cautiously in creating immediately
a full and complete governmental
unit as provided for in the state
constitution and previous legisla
tive acts.”
