Another 44Housing'Problem
The closing of the federal jail to persons arrested by
the city police department has created a situation involving a
choice between equally unsatisfactorily alternates.
The city police can, figuratively, close their eyes to
various misdemeanors or they can make arrests, haul the
culprits before the magistrate, fine them, and turn them
loose to repeat their performances. j
The Problem is up to the city for a solution. And yet at(
Mondav night’s council meeting, the question was not even j
brought up for discussion, after the mayor, before the meet.]
ing. advised the council that it really wasn’t much of a prob. [
lem and could perhaps be dealt with, with higher authorities'
in Anchorage.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Clarence Dizney has indicated he
will stand firm on the order to take no more city prisoners in
to the federal jail. His orders were issued from the U. S.
Marshal’s office in Anchorage. Over a year ago Dizney ap-j
peared, informally, before the council and urged them to!
give some consideration to arranging for some place to lodge
city prisoners. Nothing was done. !
It is up to the City of Kodiak to take immediate action
concerning this forbiddance of the jail to it. The jail is and
has been a federal jail and they are not compelled to accept
city prisoners.
The problem is a serious one, and an immediate solu
tion must be found. We suggest a special council meeting to
get down to business on the prisoner problem, and come to a
solution. For one is certainly needed right now.
