CONTEST COMING UP
The interest in this years city election exceeds that dis
played last year when only a single slate of candidates was
filed by the Progressive Party.
This year the United Labor Party got off to a flying
start by holding a caucus and challenging the ones powerful
Progressive Party’s control over city elections.
The Progressive Party has been “falling apart at the
reams’’ for the past two years. Last year only enough supU
porters attended the caucus to make it function. The reasons)
for the deterioration of the group are many. Some of them!
are: no competition from other groups; a decline in interest in j
civic affiairs by 01123 active members; and. a desire for a
change in the city administration.
The latter reason is a big factor. Several “old” staunch
supporters of the Progressives switched to the Labor group
and were in attendance at the caucus.
Are you satisfied with the present administration, or do
you feel a change is desirable? Do something about it! Regis
ter now and VOTE in the city election.

Dear Editor:
I hope this year sees a little
house cleaning in our local of
fices.
Seems like after some people
are on the job for awhi'e they
assume the attitude the public
be damned.
I don’t think the taxpayers
receive full value in the dock
Operation, the street and w; t r
department or the city clerk’s
offices
If a city manager will cure a
good part of this waste and
inefficiency I’m all for it and
I hope that we do have a city
manager before too much time
elapses.

Dear Editor:
You made a slight error in
your story concerning my ob
taining' the contract for the
' construction of the seaplane
r imp here in Kcdiak.
I do not like to split hairs
i and do not believe in finding
j fault with our local paper over
I petty errors.
However, I wish to offer my
most si cere apologies t^ the
! lumbering industry and to
sawmill people at large that
they would think I owned a
■ saw mill on Island Lake. Will
jyou please make a correction?
j I ask forgiveness of all my
friends, creditors' and my own
conscience forever having
been associated with it.
