City Government
Topic of Speecn
Richard Berg, City Clerk of Ko
diak, was the featured speaker to
address the Kodiak Business and
Professional Women’s Club at their
meeting held at the Island Foun
tain last Monday evening. The
subject of his talk was on the his
tory and development of Kodiak
from a village to that of a munici
pality.
His very enlightening speech,
which dealt mainly with city gov
ernment, was highlighted with a
clarification of the objectives of
the present City Council. He cited
approximately twelve primary ob
jectives that the Council has set
up for the development of Kodiak
in the very near future. He ex
plained why and how they were
being handled both from the finan
cial and legal angles.
He stated the most important of
these objects to the average citi
zen was the proposed municipal
airport, cemetary, the establish
ment of a park and recreational
area, new City Hall, new garbage
dump, small boat harbor and an
improved water system.
The annexation of the Mission
Road area and the City Sales Tax
are projects which have been ac
complished. The street improve
ment program is to be continued,
he said.
Berg pointed out that there was
no more than two hundred voters
prior to the last election, this de
spite that there are some 3500
residents within the City limits.
Mrs. Vida Truitt, Public Affairs
Chairman, conducted a question
and answer period following Dick
Berg’s speech. This proved to be <
luite spirited.
Mrs. Berg was also a guest of the
Club. Other gue?ts of members in
cluded Mrs. Marlene Busaard, Mrs.
Helen Hall, Mrs. Martha Cushing,
Vlrs. Blanche E. Klegg and Mrs.

many interesting speakers Kodiak
and the Naval Station offers.
Special occasion meetings in the
plans for fun are a “brides party,”
a “stork party,” and holiday par
ties. In addition, the group will
hold evening dances and parties
for members and their husbands,
and, in warmer weather, outings
for the whole family.
Wives are urged to come to this
important first meeting for con
versation and refreshments—and
to take part in the planning of ac
tivities from the start!
