Mayor Candidate
Deveau Advocates
3% Tax On Rents
Immediate paving of all city
streets at once through sale of re
venue bonds which would be re
tired by extending the city 6ales
tax of 3% to residential rents is
one of the main planks in Pete
Deveau’s campaign for mayor.
“I think that the paving of all
city streets should be undertaken
immediately all at once,” said De
veau, adding, “It would be one big
project if done all at once and the
total cost would be less if we get
on the ball and get this underway
in time for it to be accomplished
at the same time the other black
topping is scheduled.”
“I propose extension of the 3%
sales tax to include residential
rents (hotel or transient type rents
are now included already) to pay
for this. Revenue bonds could be
sold and the residential rental
sales tax proceeds used to retire
such bonds,” Deveau explained.
Deveau did not limit the use of
such added sales tax revenue for
paving alone, stating, “Such re
venue would be dedicated to up
grade the appearace of Kodiak and
make living more desirable and
more attractive to tourists.”
Besides paving streets, Deveau
suggested the money raised be used
for the following specific projects
1. A marine aquarium. (He
pointed out the great attraction
his small one already was.)
2. A community swimming pool.
3. A teenage recreational center
in conjunction with the swimming
pool.
4. Rehabilitation and restoration
of historical landmarks as tourist

attractions.
5. Construction of a suitable fire
proof building to house the library
and museum.
6. For participation in tourist
exhibit at the New York World’s
Fair where tens of millions of
people, “many world travelers,”
could be made aware of Kodiak’s
attractions.
Deveau also suggested that re
search should be done to show that
Kodiak has the highest per capita
income in the U.S.
Deveau also pointed out the im
mediate need for “going full speed
ahead in the matter of providing
a landing or terminal for the Ko
diak Islander ferry boat,” saying.
“It is apparent that the city dock
is just too busy with other com
mercial and industrial activity to
handle the Kodiak Islander’s sche
dule.”
A man’s ability to make excuses
is often his chief liability.

Love me
then leave me.
If you don’t like to take bottles back to the store,
try Rainier in the 7 oz. no-deposit, no-return
bottle. It pours just about one full glass of smooth,
light Rainier. Quenches small thirsts nicely.
