City Reran Estimated at $503,437.00 far 1958-59,
City Manger Submits ‘Controlled Budget’ Plan
Anticipated revenue of the City
of Kodiak for the fiscal year 1958
1*9 will amount amount to $503,
437.00, according to the budget
estimate submitted to the Council
by City Manager Bill Poland.
Expenditures in the same peri
od are anticipated to be $500,271.
Several items, which did not ap
pear in the previous budget, such
as city’s share of the NG armory
construction and salary of sani
tation engineer, raises the figure
for expenditures this year.
The budget is divided into three
sections, each with a breakdown
eh revenue and expenditures.
These are the General Fund, Wa
ter and Sewer Fund and the Dock
Fund. Effort was made this year
for a controlled budget
- A discussion arose at the coun
cil meeting as to the setting up of
i
a continguency fund, to take care
of unforeseen expenditures in the
course of a year. It was pointed
out that unless such a fund is set
up, the city will have to borrow
from other funds, and thus a con
trolled budget will be impossible.
“These situations will arise,”
Councilman Huer stated. ‘Some
provision must be made.”
The city manager stated under
the controlled budget, work will
be curtailed except in cases of
emergency or unforeseen neces
sary services. A reserve of $2503.
79 has been set up in the Water
and Sewer Fund and $661.98 in
the Dock Fund, according to the
budget.
General Fund revenue estimates
show an increase of some $27,000
over the previous year. This is
derived, according to Poland,

The new budget makes provis
ion for a raise in salary to both
the city manager and the city
clerk. City manager’s salary will
be $11,000. The city clerk-treasur
er receives $8,100. The city coun
cil in an action September 25,
1957 had stipulated a raise after
a six months probationary period,
for the city manager and on Oc
tober 14, 1957 an increase to the
newly appointed clerk-treasurer
from the $550 hiring salary.
The city manager strongly re
commended the Police depart
ment estimates remain unchang
ed. “It is my considered opinion,”
he said, “that this force cannot
sustain any reduction in person
nel without materially altering
services rendered for public pro
tection, which includes a night
fire patrol," An allowance of
$1,493.87 vacation pay has been
allocated to cover expenditures
for relief of men on the force
taking annual vacations. This was
necessary, according to the city
manager, in order to keep a full
complement on duty at all times.
In the water and sewer division
and other departments, no provis
ion is made for additional help
during vacations of employees.
Employees are allowed a 12-day
per year accrual.
Boston Glee Club
In Fine Programs
Singing to a large audience of
Kodiak music lovers, the Boston
University Glee Chib captured
their listeners musically in a con
cert last Friday evening in the
high school auditorium when they
appeared here in the last Stop of
their Alaskan tour.
The diversified program con
tained many splendidly rendered
numbers, musical heritages from
many nations. In the group was
the spirited South African song,
“Marching to Pretoria” and the
German folk song, “The Happy
Wanderer.”
“The Yellow Rose of Texas,”
“Black Is the Color of My True
Love’s Hair,” and “Sweet Betsy
from Pike,” were sung in a group
entitled, “Our Heritage of Bal
lads from the American Fron
tier.”
The rendition of “Trudi Nuka”
and “Some Folks Say” proved
popular as did two selections from
the musical comedy, “You’ll Nev
er Walk Alone,” from Carousel,
by Rogers-Hammerstein and Sir
Arthur Sullivan’s “The Gondo
liers.”
The glee club, under the direc
tion of Dr. James R. Houghton,
consisted of 26 voices. The con
cert by the world-famous singing
group, will be long remembered
in Kodiak. Dr. Houghton, through
his group showed complete mas
tery of choral music, and the sing
ers, in a rare blending of top
notch voices, fluently graced the
