Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
As a candidate for the office of
councilman I wish to make the
following statement regarding my
stand on various issues.
1. Water; We all are aware of
the critical situation that devel
oped during the past summer.
TYue it was an abnormally dry
summer and we may not have an
other one like it, but we can’t
depend on it not happening again.
Our present water supply is ap
parently adequate and should be
adequate for a number of years
but, I propose that a comprehen
sive water survey of the entire
area be made so that we can better
plan our future sources
2. Streets; It has been proven to
me that laying blacktop on inade
quately filled roads is costly and
a poor investment. The city has
now paid the last payment due the
Aleutian homes project for putting
in their own streets. I submit that
this payment along with the sales
tax fund is sufficient to put in
many improvements that will last.
These funds would be available
to pay a bond if that is what the
people desire. However, I feel that
the work can be done at a satis
factory pace without going into
debt for the project.
3. Sewers; The situation is much
improved with the Leite Addition
Project. We must make every ef
fort possible to extend the sewer
system so that more building prop
erty has access to a sewer system
We would do well to look into thi
possibilities of working with th<
borougi, if voted in, to extern
through the East Addition to th
area adjacent to Mill Bay road.
a central meeting place not only
for the youth groups but for adults
4. Community Center; We need
as well. I propose that a study be
made on how such a center could
be financed. This center should in
clude facilities for the Library and
museum.
5. Cleanup; The town is in need
of a general facelifting. I believe
the council should set the pace by
cleaning up the city’s yard and
then insist on general cleanup
wherever their powers permit.
6. Boat Harbor; A program of ex
pansion is needed now. Location
and financing must be determined
soon in order that a critical short
age of space may be avoided.
7. New City Charter; I oppose
the charter. The provision that al
lows only property owners to hold
office is far from democratic. It
is ridiculous to assume that a per
son attains responsibility only
when he buys a piece of real prop
erty. I am in favor of home own
ership but do not believe we should
penalize any person or persons who
pay their real taxes thru rent.
8. Progressive Action; Of course
we all favor progress. In order to
attain it we need co-operation. I
believe the city can promote co
operation by use of citizen groups
for studies, etc.
If elected I Will work to the best
of my abilities to accomplish the
items outlined above.
