Drive Carefully, Pleasex
Many complaints have been voiced this week by pedes
trians who have been “splashed” by motorists on Mission
Road and on other city thoroughfares.
Kodiak has only recently, in the past three years, been
able to construct a few concrete sidewalks. However, Mission
Road and other thickly populated areas have no sidewalks a
long the roads.
Experienced drivers, especially taxi cab operators, are
considerate of pedestrians when passing them along the mud
dy roads of Mission, Mill Bay and Shelikof Highway. How
ever many teen-ag d owners of decrepit vehicles and similar
“hot shot” operators barrel through the puddles splashing
mud over pedestrians who are as much entitled to the road
as any motorist.
The common courtes e? ordinary extended to foot traffic
are not given by these “important drivers.” The city or
dinance covering the rate of speed permitted on city streets
says notning regarding the rights of pedestrians.
Shouldn’t a new ordinance be enacted giving pedes
trians some protection from such careless drivers?

Mrs. Crutcher told of the
need for hooks at the Commu

dren's books. The letter told
of the work done during the
past two years and the present
status of the library.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
In the past few weeks there
| has been a great deal of discus
sion concerning the proposed
Public Utility District. Con
sidering this discussion it
seems that pertinent facts
should be made known.
One fact that most persons
'forget is that a PUD cannot
use tax money for any purpose
except the construction, main
tenance, operation, altera ton
or improvement of a Public
Utility as defined by Terri
torial law. A fire dept., police
dept., or street and highway
dept, are not classed as public
utilities, consequently, they
should not be considered in
the coming election.
Everyone should realize that
the election on Mar. 10, has
nothing to do with the en
trance of this district into the
City of Kodiak. If the PUD is
defeated our status will re
muio fhn aumo oo if- io nnur T f
it is defeated the PUD can
j still enter the city if it is so
voted at a future election.
Regardless of how a person
votes on the PUD they should
vote for the nominees for di
rectorship. Some of these
nominees are for and some are
j against a PUD but all of them
J should receive thanks for their
public spirit and willingness to
devote their time for the good
of all.
The following is an excerpt
from the Tenitorial Laws re
lating to Public Utility Dis
tricts: “Sec. 49-2-31 Consent
of Community to Imposition
^of Taxes, etc. Anyone voting
i for a PUD is deemed to have
| consented to the imposition of
! such taxes as are authorized
I by and may be imposed under
the provisions for PUD pur
poses.” Do vou give your con
sent to more taxes?
This may be a close election
and every eligible person
should vote. Theirs may be the
vote that decides the issue.
