H&w T3 Clean Up
City Is Problem
(r- "lilor’s note: Mor" about ihr
“gripe" meeting held last week.
How to clean up the city was a
question bantered around by th?
City Council and members of the
audience at the airing - of - views
meeting Thursday.
It was suggested the City first
set an example by cleaning up the
area around the City Hall. Poland
stated this is a problem that has
engaged the attention of himself
3nd the Council, but no immediate
solu’ on had been arrived at Main
source of criticism is the city trucks
and the impounded cars in the lot.
He pointed out that for greater
efficiency and because of the threat
of vandalism, the equipment had tc
be stored where it is. A gigantic
garage would be needed, he said,
to properly store it out of sight As
to the impounded cars, he said, the
City has a problem in that the cars
have to be kept for six months be
fore they can be disposed of. Dis
posal before that leaves the City
liable, he said.
Pete Deveau attacked the appar
ent accumulation of “junkyards”
throughout the City. Old cars, he
said, with wheels off and partially
stripped are an eyesore to visitors
and others. He stated that a state
law designates such areas where
such cars and parts sold are kept
as junkyards, and by law are sup
posed to exist after permission is
granted by the city council and
fenced. He asked whether these
could best be removed by the police
or by a citizen swearing out a war
lant.
Deveau also stated that illegal
parking on the Bensen Avenue
road constitutes a hazard. He re
ferred to parking on the lower side
o' the road on the way out to the
ba e which he said 'S done despite
signs prohibiting it.
George Cornelius, local realtor,
r’sted in his opinion the land in
the Kodiak area should be re
appraised. in view of the presen*
-rices being received in property
deals. He said an impartial group
of local business men should make
the appraisals.
Street paving was brought up.
also. The City has two paving pro
jects in mind. Poland stated, which
will exhaust all available money.
One is on Mission Road from Main
S’reet to the junction of Tagura
Road.
This will involve curbing, streets
as well as paving. The other is that
section of Mill Bay Road from
Main Street to Kashavaroff. “Pav
ing in Kodiak represents a pro
blem. Poland stated, in that you
have to work much as a dentist and
clean out a cavity and start from
there.”

New Method Of
Garbage Disposal
A new type of garbage disposal
pickup is to receive a test run soon,
according to the City Manager.
A new concept in handling gar
bage. a disposable bag instead of
garbage cans, will be tried in cer
tain areas, he said, with the arrival
of a quantiiy of the bags last week.
The bags are said to be waterproof,
and can be sealed, thus eliminat
ing the possibility of the garbage
being scattered by winds or dogs.
City Council members Bill Criss
criticised the present ordinance al
lowing backvard incinerators. He
flatly stated: “It stinks!” When a
neighbor burns garbage and the
w:nd is in the direction of the
house, unpleasant odors result, he
stated. The incinerators were at
tacked by others in the audience
as “fire hazards” one housewife
stated their home would have burn
ed from sparks from a neighbors
incinerator if she had not been
