The Kodiak Street and the Territorial Highway de
partment have worked several nights and much overtime tne
past week in an effort to keep the roads open. They have re
ceived little cooperation from motorists.
Many parked cars have not been moved since the snow
became deep and heavy. The men who run the graders can
not widen the snow-clogged roads so that two vehicles can
pass because of the parked cars.
Usually the motorist who yells the loudest about the
snow blocked streets is the fellow who has his car parked so
that the graders cannot pass.

When the people of Clinton wanted a
rink for their hockey team, practically
everybody in the village helped in its
construction and financing. It is an
outstanding example of the modern
value of hard work and initiative. In
the first season of its use over 130,000
people paid their way into the Arena.
If you know what you want. . . .and if you
want it enough, lack of cash won’t stop
you. If your thinking and planning are
right, hard work will yield you a profit. If
you need money to make the job easier or
to d) it better, we will be glad to help.
That is the way we do things in America. .
with ambition, hard work, and capital.

Landlotds May
Increase Rents
The local Office of Rent
Stabilization pointed out this
week that the present control
plan differs from that which
existed during World War II.
Rents are not “frozen” in a
strict sense. A ceiling is put
on the rent with certain serv
ices and equipment, and land,
lords may increase the rent
for good reason, but only after
an issuance of an order by the
Rent Office.
Rent Stabilization aiso au
| fers from control in that their
| policies are deteim ned by a
local Advisory Board. How
ever, this does not relieve
landlords of their obligations
to register their property and
have maximum rents recorded.
A deadline for filing exists
and failure to observe these
requirements will result in the
imposition of penalties.
The Rent Office in the Kod.
liak Apartments will remain
1 open until 8 P. M. Monday
j through Friday. Landlords are
requested to furnish legal des
cription of rental properties
together with their tenant’s
names and mailing addresses.

bus for Kodiak Transit.
