Bettinger who is now 11
Washington, to the Chamber
of Commerce at its recent
meeting.
"My position is that the
first sponsor to perform the
necessary preliminary work
and qualify with the various
agencies will have my bless
ing and certainly should have
the support of any Kodiak
reeident,” Bettinger wrote.
Final plans for the reser
voir and headworks of the
water and sewer project,
necessary for the housing,
I have been completed by Hub
bell and Waller Engineering
Corp. of Seattle, Bettinger
wrote. He added that the
plans had been mailed to the
Alaska Public Works office on
Dec. 19, 1951. A tentative
date for calling for bids on
; the reservoir and headworks
! is Feb. 1, 1952.
Dupier said the mayor’s
letter also stated that “the
' balance of the present water
and sewer project, namely the
distribution system in Qthe
proposed housing area, are
not yet complete.”
I Bettinger went on to ex
plain that he had taken the j
j position that all the water
| distribution work should be
the responsibilty of the spon
sor for the housing project,
not of the City of Kodiak.
The Portland group, com
posed of G. K. Gosling of
Vancouver, B. C., Ralph
Blanchard, Ray Woodbury
and the Brice Mortgage Com.
pany, all of Portland is ac
tively interested in the hous
ing project and has gone
ahead with the preliminary
work, Bettinger wrote Dupier.
Earlier, a preliminary con
tour map and street profiles
were prepared by a represen
tative of Ray Lewis who was
first considered as sponsor of
the housing project.
Lewis was late*- reported
out of the picture, but Bet
tinger wrote Dupier, “Mr.
Lewis is still determined that
he is to be the sponsor and
builder of the project.”
Bettinger s letter continued:
“I have told him, as I have
told others, that my interest is
the work with the various
agencies and bureaus relative
to the project . . that I will
not assist Lewis or any other
party, personally.
“At present, both Lewis
and the Portland group are
working on the project and I
understand that two other
groups are looking at it.”
One of the groups interested
is L. E. Baldwin Inc. of Se
attle. L. E. Baldwin, presi
dent of the construction com
pany, has written the city
council requesting information
on the project and giving in
formation on the type of pro
ject he wishes to build.
Meanwhile, Rear Adm. E.
A. Cruise, commandant, 17th
naval district, has written
the council requesting infor
mation concerning the status
0f the housing project. He
asked tne name oi the spon
soring contractor, number of
units and date of start of the
actual construction.
“Since this headquarters
strongly endorsed the Kodiak
Housing Project, and to some
extent included the project in
the light of overall planning,
it is desired that all available
information concerning the
status of the project be for
warded to this headquarters
at the earliest practicable
date,” Adm. Cruise wrote the
council.
After receipt of his letter]
Dupler, Jack Hinckel, for
mer councilman, and Council
man William Worth conferred
with the admiral at his office
on the naval station.
Spring Roundup
On Canines
Another round up of Kodiak
dogs will be conducted this
week by the police depart
ment, Ovid “Mac” McKinley,
! acting chief of police, an
i nounced yesterday.
“The number of dogs runn
ing the streets is increasing.
We thought we had the prob
lem partially solved a few
weeks ago but I guess the dog
owners are getting careless
again,” McKinley said.
All dogs found on the
streets will be picked up and
held at the city pound for
three days. If owners have
not claimed them in that time
they will be destroyed.
