Letter To The EHifor
Dear Editor:
I don’t understand why the
city council is planning to a
dopt a City Manager Form of
Government.
Kodiak showed only 1835
persons within the corporate
limits of the city in the 1950
census. I signed the petition
circulated b.v John Gibbons
calling for a vote on the city
manager plan. I did not indi
cate that I favored such a
plan by signing but felt that
it should be brought before
the voters to decide if we
want that type of city govern
ment.
I am against spending any
more money to administer the
city affairs. The city clerk has
three or four assistants to do
his work now. All he does is
sit behind a big desk and issue
orhers. I feel that if Jack
Hinckel is elected mayor he
will hire his friend Lee C.
Bettinger as city manager or
else hire Hedloff.
Does the taxpayers of Ko
diak want to increase the city
payroll in this way?? Joe Ker
rigan and Basil Clark are
surely going to be elected
councilmen.... Do these men
favor a city manager form of
government and if they intend
to appoint Bettinger or Hed
loff city manager?
Bob Blair has been “bally
hooing” himself for the one
year term. Does he intend
to insure the operation of his
pin ball machines for the next
If you will withhold my
name I will appreciate it I do
not want to suffer reprisals
for my statements I realize
that the Kodiak Paper will be
blamed but didn’t you once
state that you wanted letters
from your readers?
