Reflections
(Continued from Page 1)
By the way, we would like our
readers to note the spelling of Miss
Leigh’s name. It was mispelled in
the news item in last week Mirror.
We like to pass on such coments
from visitors, for too often resi
dents forget the good qualities of
their hometown. In his letter to
the Kodiak Mirror, Bud Meyeres,
president of the Alaska Realtors,
said he wanted to thank somebody
for the “wonderful weather” they
enjoyed while here. We hastened
to answer the letter, and told him
we are enjoying even better
weather right now. The reason for
the hurry in answering of course,
was because it could change in a
hurry.

The Utilities Department of the
City expected a lot of phone calls
protesting disruption of service,
when crews started to cut into the
Mill Bay road stretch, preparatory
to it being paved. They dug up a
lot of water lines that have been
in there for years. But strangely
enough, no one complained. Just
old unused water lines apparently.
* * *
The City is relying pretty heav
ily on the experience and the know
how of Ray Ravelle from Fairbanks
in setting up the batch plant. Ray
is an old M-K Company man and
knows a thing or two about asphalt
plants.
In another article in this week’s
Mirror you will read that the
-
League of Alaskan Cities conven
tion, originally scheduled for Ko
diak, will be held in Anchorage in
stead. Reason for this is that about
150 people are expected to attend.
This would more than tax Koidak’s
inadequate hotel and other accom
modations. Too bad. Conventions
of any kind can do a lot for a town,
and especially this one—where you
would have a group of people es
pecially versed in municipal prob
lems—looking your town over.
Some ideas might develop that
would be benificial to the town.
An interesting sidelight on the
city election was the great number
of write-ins. One candidate received
15 ballots for Mayor. He was Jess
Ballard. Other write-ins for mayor
were: Fred Brechan and Emil
Kraft, 2 each: Basil Clark, Wilton
White, Leon Johnson, 1 each. De
Witt Fields, a write-in for council
man received 71 votes; others: Nick
Frost, Stan Nelson and Ray Van
Buren, 1 each; J. W. Patterson, 2
votes.

keting under the name of “Goldhill
Alaska Shrimp.”
The Goldhill plant, which is lo
cated in Ponohataula, La., has ad
ded new equipment to take care of
the Alaska shrimp. Michael Shakle
ton, a representative of he firm,
said of the Alaska shrimp that
there is “nothing like it as far as
texture and quality is concerned.”
