chern Thursday to hoar ihe
letter from Captain W. K.
Rhodes. USN, to the City
Council and Chamber of Com
merce.
The Naval Station’s Com
manding Officer asked the
council what plans they had
for a larger and improved
water supply, sewerage sys
tem and an improved garbage
and trash removal program
should the housing project in
the east addition become a
reality.
The Captain further pointed
out that police and fire pro
tection requirements would
grow and the general overall
, sanitary requirements would
nesd expansion.
uuriiig uie uiscussiun ptnuu
other correspondence was read
bv the secretary but the letter
1 from Captain Rhodes occupied
i the greater part of the time. ;
. In discussing the sanitation
in town the Capt. said, “many
homes rely on septic tanks for
sewerage disposal. Many of
these tanks are located on
higher ground than private
■wells... such practices are not
! conducive to civic health and a
' modern seweage system
should be taken into consider
ation.”
James Martz, C of C presi
ident, asked Secretary Hazel
Smith to prepare an answer to
Captain Rhodes’ letter. She
will be assisted by Paul Dup
I ler and Dr. A. Holmes John
' son. The finished letter will be
j submitted to the membership
of the C of C at the next regu
1 lar meeting for approval.
1 The letter further stated:
! “This command is in receipt
of many letters from civilian
employees of the Navy Dept.
! (civil service) who complain
!that the medical and dental
j facilities in the city of Kodiak
; are definitely not adequate
and that it is necessary for
diak who are subject to duty (
calls day or night.” the letter c
stated.
l ady this week Mr. and t
Mrs. John Cushing of Sitka l
owners of the Kodiak Tele n
phone company, arrived in £
tawn. Mrs. Cushing has tried ,
repeately to obtain infor- t
mation when the housing pro- t
ject wonld be c mplete so that i
she could place an order for ^
additional equipment. ,1
In closing the letter Captain «
Rhodes asked for a reply so t
that he could inform the Com-’
mandant of the District of the ]
city’s intended action on the 1
various matters. I *

Dr. Johnson told the C of C
that he had tried several times
to get an additional doctor to
come to Kodiak but that he
! had been unsuccessful.
' In regard to medical and
j dental attention on the Naval
| Station the letter said, “‘it is a
1 physical impossibility for our
;Navy doctors and dentists to
' care properly for civilians in
this community.”
Captain Rhodes suggested
that a minimum of three at
. torneys would be required to
handle adequately the city’s
legal obligations should the
housing project be completed.
Dupler said that he did not

‘‘Teleph<ne service is not
