Letter to the Editor
Doing a good deed Monday I pick
ed up a classmate of my daughter’s
at school. The little girl’s home is
in the vicinity of the Elk’s Club.
I drove her home and dropped her
off safely. I was rewarded while
backing out of the driveway by fall
ing into a so-called historic well.
My car was stuck in up over the
wheel and I had to call a tow truck
which cost me $5 to be pulled out.
Was there carelessness on my
part? No!
Could this incident have been
prevented? Who is to blame?
I know for a fact that this so
called well was brought to the at
tention of the city council a while
back and yet it still stands a men
ace with no safety precautions at
all.
It is my opinion that things of
this sort could be controlled if the
city took the time and some of the
taxes that are paid by the citizens
of Kodiak. Such matters of this sort
should not be neglected and I know
that most people would agree that
if such matters were taken care of
this would be a very pleasant place
to live.
If we happen to have a bad wint
er this will be an especial hazard.
Why pay taxes if they can’t be
used to better the conditions
around town and community? I
am not knocking Kodiak in itself
but it could be a beautiful place to
live if the city councilmen made
themselves aware of and were up
to date on what the people expect
for the taxes they pay.

signs in the community would be
a good start for improving as well
as a little more attention to the
road conditions. I am sure that then
the people of Kodiak would think
the city is on its toes and that the
taxes were being put to use for the
good of the community.
The city should realize by now
that the citizens of Kodiak want a
little less talk of improving con
