Error In Mirror
Is Misleading
In last week’s issue of the Ko
diak Mirror, correcting of
errors in the Chamber of Com

misleading report on the meeting.

favoring a cold storage plant here.
This was not so. The original
story as written stated: “In
another action the group voted as
not favoning proposed daylight
saving for the State.”
