Carter Seymour, now in the1
states receiving medical at
tention for a gun-shot wound,
received a raise of $100 per
month. For the past year he
has been drawing a salary of
$500 per month. During Sey
mour’s absence Ovid McKinley
has been acting chief of police
and drawing a patrolman’s
wage. *
McKinley, as acting chief
of police, received a 20%
raise which brought his salary
to $540 per month. He for
merly drew $450. Cliff Mowry,
newly appointed patrolman
was raised from $400 to $480.
Mill Vokacek, superinten
dent of streets and water, was
advanced from $525 per month
to $630 per month. The whar
finger’s salary was boosted,
from $400 to $480. H. E. Spen-.
cer has held the job longer
than any other wharfinger. In
addition to his salary he re
ceives living quarters at the,
city dock apartment.
Fire Chief George Magnu
sen received a raise of $10,
making his salary $60 per
month in addition to quarters
above the fire station. The
custodian of the city dump
was raised from $30 to $50.
The retainer fee of $250 per
month for City Attorney Paul
Dupler was not raised. Dupler
said he did not believe it
should be changed at this
time.
Ordinance number 157
covers the fixing of salaries
for the city employees. It was
read for the first time Monday
and passed by a suspension of
the rules whereby the first
reading is considered the
second.
The question of retaining
Seymour as chief of police was
raised by Councilman Leo
Sears who stated that he did
not believe the city should re
quest his resignation.
“The citizens ot Kodiak
want a decision on this matter
and I feel that they are en
titled to it at this time,”
Councilman D. N. Holyman
declared. Basil Clark agreed
with Hoylman and said, “I
feel that Seymour might be
o. k. in a larger city but he
does not fit in here.”
K. D. Russell, owner of
Russell’s Men’s Store, and
Bill Kreiner, former police
man, agreed wth Clark. “$50,
000 worth of business was
lost by the town from con
struction men and base em
ployees because of police
policy during Seymour’s stay
here,” Russell declared.
Sears declared that after
reading a recent letter from
Seymour he “did not have
the heart to fire him.” The
letter was not made public at
thd meeting. Hedloff explained
that the letter was personal
and to him. However, several
councilmen indicated they had
read the letter.
Clark proposed that Mc
Kinley be named chief but no
acion on the proposal was
taken. It was tentatively!
agreed that when Seymour
was released from the hospital
he iJe,gjy*n„it!d}feCW8e? to sjb
nrit-a resignation.”"'’" ■ " I
The council authorized the
street superintendent to give J
raises to employees in his de- \
partment which would meet
the union scale for hourly
workers.
Clark told the council that
at some future date he was
going to make a motion that
the city refuse to hire anyone
who does not pay his city
“Why should the city pkyr
out city money to some one
who has taxable property yet
refuses to pay his city taxes,''
Clark asked.
Bill Kosoff, advertising
manager for Ships Tavern,
returned to Kodiak Sunday
after spending three weeks in
the states.
