Fire Warden States
 Fire Equipment Necessary

MT. and Mrs. "Vic" Loughead returned to Kodiak, with their son, who was born recently in the Seward General Hospital. "Vic" local contractor and fire warden of Kodiak, made a flying trip to Portage Bay, now called Whittier, Anchorage and other interior points and states that business is booming everywhere, particularly at the new Govern ment terminal at Portage Bay.
 New docks, which have 35 feet of water at low tide, can easily accommodate the largest transports and new buildings are springing up everywhere. A 150 men are now employed in the construction work at the long tunnel, through which the rail- road will pass, from Anchorage, which will shorten the trip be- tween the Defense Headquarters city and the coast by about 45 miles.
 "We must do something i'm mediately to remedy the fire equipment situation in Kodiak. It was fortunate that no wind was blowing the other day, when the Christofferson residence bur mt down, otherwise we might have had a city-wide fire, that would have destroyed untold thousands of dollars worth of property and possible loss of life"

Engineers Start
 Municipal Work

Harold H. Waller, member of the engineering firm of Hubbel & Waller, who have been appoint ed project engineers for all mu- nicipal work to be done in this town under PWA and REA fin ances. ar ived on the Cordova for a lengthy visit He was ac- companied by two engineer as- sistants, H. F. Haines, who was formerly with the Highway Dept, of the State of Washington, and Wm. F. Jennings, a graduate of West Point military academy, who has been naval engineer for the last 6 years.
 Walters first engineering prob lem will be the investigation and location of an adequate source of supply of water for the town, The prevailing fine weather will greatly assist the survey work.
 He stated "We find that Kod- iak has been set up in No. l po- sition in Alaska for financial as- sistance and we will have the first crack at the WPA S150,000, GOO fund for such communities as yours here.
 Although we will do everything in our power to rush both the water and sewer projects through, local residents should be patient and realize that this is a large joD-
 ''We will be faced with certain engineering problems, which will require time to solve. However, I want to assure everyone that we will push the projects through with every available effort".
 All the improvement projects, planned by the city, which will include extensive street improve ment work, will probably take the major part of the next twelve months, before their completion.

KEA Urges CPCo
 Buy 2nd Generator

The Kodiak Electric Assoc. Inc, local cooperative formed through which the REA will make a loan of 5000 with which to erect a municipal cleo tric generating plaut, met last Tuesday night and the board of directors, headed by it's president Charles Hopp, completed most of its preliminary work.
 The firm of Hubbell & Waller was appointed project engineers, while the REA in Washington, D. c. were directed to locate an able and reliable supervisor to conduct the plant operation in Kodiak. This will make it poss- ible for the IKEA to swing into full and productive control with in a day or two after the special election on October 27th. They also communicated with the Community Power O., urging them to purchase 40 XIV gen orator in addition to the 94 XIV plant now operating, which the REA agrees to purchase when it is enfranchised, according to Norris Porter, secretary of the KEA.
 Charles Hopp, explained that there is a question in the minds of some people of Kodiak as to the purpose of the $5 application fee. He wishes to point out that the money which is borrowed from the U. 5. government IS to be used strictly for purchasing, installing, operating and main taining the generating and dis tributing equipment and not one cent of it may be used for organ izing the cooperative from which every resident of Kodiak is to benefit. Therefore, all the pre- iminary expenses must be borne in some other way.
 "This is the method used in all other REA projects whether the loan is made to a private cor poration or to an already incor-

o. Andrews Killed
 In Auto Accident

An accident of unknown origin occurred early last Monday morn ing, when a taxicab owned by Bill Falconer and driven by OrvilIe Andrews, plunged to des- truction of the Shelikoff High way to the rock-strewn beach 175 feet below and about l5O yards west of the first guard house. The wreckage of the new DeSota sedan was found by two soldiers on the beach.
 Andrews, whose body was lay ing just a few feet away from the car was found to be still a live although unconscious and he was rushed to the Base Hospi- tol. However he expired shortly after his arrival at the instit'l- tion. The doctors report stated that death came from internal injuries, and 27 broken bones, including his back. Only a small amount of blood was on the outside of the body.
 The time of the accident was closely ascertained as occurring at 4:30 a. m. and Andrews in the wrecked car was not discovered until about 12:;30 p m. the same day. No other passengers were in the car, which was returning from a trip to the base.
 An autopsy revealed the en- tire absence of any alcohol and testimony of his many friends locally confirmed the sobriety and integrity of the 2S-year old former employee of the naval air station, who had quit his job of jack-hammer man there, to drive taxicab.
 He is survived by his mother who resides at Plant, Montana.
 A generous offering of financial aid by his friends and those who knew him the embalming of the remains by Frank Wally, hcens- ed mortician and the body, seal ed in steel casket was sent to a crematorium in Napa, California
 Apparent cause of the accident was assumed to be that he was blinded by the lights of a passing car in the opposite direction, at the moment he tired to guide his car around a rather sharp bend in the highway. Being on the outside of the road, his temp orary confusion caused by the glare, resulted in driving off the edge of the precipitous highway.
