 Ray Martin presented draw irgs of projected latrines to be constructed and maintained by the Army in town. Each building will be 12 by 20 feet of frame construction with concrete floor ing, and one was suggested for each end of town to supplement similar facilities to be provided in the prophylaxis station on the city hall property.

 Smith, emphasizing that he was speaking as citizen and not as a representative of the Labor Council, then asked that the council grant such a franchise to responsible party" and thus make it possible for them to set a cheaper fare. Declaring that he had in mind people of the lower brackets. and that in addition 1t would be'a patriotic gesture to- ward rubber conservation to give such a franchise to the Kodiak Transit Bus line because, Smith said, the days of taxls were numbered by the tire ration ing program, he asked that a franchise be given eff that Is necessary to get cheap transport ation." Smith said the trend elsewhere in the interest of conservation of rubber, gas and vehicles was toward buses as the mljor means of transportation.
 Basil O'Neil and Bill Smith, Jr., owners of the Kodiak Tran sit Line were present at the meet ing to present their stand against what they had thought was to be a demand for lower bus fares, which they told the council they had tried for a period of time and had not found successful. They pointed out that they had not known a franchise was going to be suggested, but that even such a possibility of having one would not assure that the bus line could operate on a 25 per cent fare
 The point was brought out by the council that both the taxi and the bus companies had sub stantial investments in their bus mess and that any benefits of a

staff in industry lacks the train

She maintained that abor.
tons will increase unless there
is reliable spacing information
made available to women in wal
work. In normal years, she
pointed out, 80 per cent of the
illegal abortions are among mar.

She said that the total mum.
