Weir Appeals For
Leite Sewer Okay
An appeal to Leite Addition resi
dents to approve the proposed
sewer construction project for that
area was voiced this Tuesday by
Chuck Weir at the Toastmasters
Club meeting.
Weir contrasted the pleasant
mode of living inside a city to that
of living outside an incorporated
area, in his talk before the Toast
masters.
Stressing heavily the overall
health of the entire community,
Weir stated, “There is a proposed
sewer construction project for the
Leite Addition. The sanitation pro
blem in this part of town is de
plorable and must be remedied to
protect the health of every citizen
of Kodiak and the surrounding
community; for, if an epidemic
should break out, it would affect
everyone in Kodiak, not just those
who live in the Leite Addition.
“Yet, there is a petition being
circulated to stop the construction
of this badly needed improvement.
I understand they already have
enough signatures to stop the
project. I feel it is only right that
the ones who receive the improve
ment should directly pay for it; and
in most cases, those paying should
be able to decide if they want the
improvement or not by vote or
some means. But, in a situation
such as this, I feel everyone in Ko
diak should have a say in protec
tion of his or her health and the
health of their children”.
“If this petition is allowed to
cancel this sewer program, it will
mean that only a relatively few of
us living in the Leite Addition will
be jeopardizing the health of all
in the community. The people cir
culating this petition use many
arguments against the new sewer
system, none of them valid in my
estimation,” Weir said.
Weir made a comparison of costs
between the city’s project and
those involved should each indivi
dual attempt installation of his own
sewer system.
“The cost per lot in the Leite
and Urdahl Additions will not ex
ceed $550 in any case, and will be
less in many cases.
“If we defeat this program and
try to install adequate systems in
our own homes that will meet state
and federal requirements, it will
cost each one of us between $1000
and $1500,” he pointed out.
Weir warned of the possibility
of drastic official action should the
sewer project be blocked.
“If, in the near future, we do
not get an adequate sewer system,
the health officials will be forced
to close the dwellings that do not
meet the requirements,” he said.
“In view of these facts, it would
seem that the only sensible thing
to do is to endorse this project 100
per cent, and if we have put our
names on a petition in objection to
this sewer system, call on the per
son that presented it to you and
have your name removed from
the list,” Weir said in conclusion.

LOWELL THOMAS, SR., PRESENTING TO LOWELL THOMAS, JR., the Award of Merit Plaque won by
the documentary film, “ADAQ, King of Alaskan Seas”, in competition at the World Travel Confer
ence at Cannes, France. “It is a proud moment when a father can present an award to his son for out
standing accomplishment,” stated the senior Thomas at a bw.quet given in his honor by the Alaska Press
Club in Anchorage. The film, produced for Wakefield Fisheries by Thomas, Jr., will receive wide circul
tion*this winter via TV, service clubs and trade out^is.
The award came as a total surprise to Thomas Jr. as both Thomas, Sr. and Frank Feeman, of Polaris
Travel Service, who took the film to Cannes, France “pretended” not to know a thing about the outcome
of the world-wide competition among documentary films
“I am completely without words,” said young Thomas. “I am very pleased that a film on Alaska and an
Alaskan product won the award,” he remarked.
