City Files Suit
Against George
The City of Kodiak has filed
suit against the Kodiak Ice
and Cold Storage Co. in dis
trict court, asking that the
concern be forced to vacate
its quarters at the city dock.
The suit alleges that the
company entered into a con
tract with the city in Octo
ber 1947, whereby it was to
occupy space at the dock. The
suit further states that the
company was to build a
modern cold storage plant of
five million pound capacity
but that so far it has only
pj rtiaily completed a building
which can not be moved from
the site.
The city asks an order end
ing the contract and ousting
the company from the
premises.

Christmas here with his

We would like to extend our thanks
and show our appreciation to all who
tried 60 hard to minimize the dam
ages done to the Casino on Christmas
morning.
But for the very real efforts of those
who volunteered their help, the Ko
diak Fire Department and KISS Fire
Department the destruction would
have been complete. As it is we are
salvaging a great deal of value and al
so planning the opening of the New
Casino. Until then thanks and may
your New Year be happy and pros
perous.

OPS Warns
Gig Dealers
Cigarette vendors were
again cautioned by the Office
of Price Stablization not to
raise the price of cigarettes
more than the actual amount
of the increase to them when
making adjustments for the
new federal excise tax.
Complaints have been made
to the OPS that some sellers
have raised prices of cigar
ettes in excess of the amount
of the excise tax passed by
Congress this fall. This is
contary to OPS regulations
and violators are subject to
prosecution wherever found.
Wholesale cost increases
other than the new excise tax
may, however, be reflected in
the selling price according to
regular percentage computa
tions, the OPS said. Any other
increases taken arbitrarily and
not authorized are prohibited.
