City Warns On Sewers

A special and final warning was issued this week by the city council, following special meet, ing Wednesday, that all people not having made sewer applica-' tons by November l will be penalized as provided by law.
 The step IS necessitated by the fact that the lease with the federal government is now ln effect and revenue from the sys- tenn must go toward payment for the system.
 As pointed out at the meeting by J. B Sledge, auditor for the Federal Works Agency, the city has fallen down in its obligation by not enforcing the sewer or dinance so the revenue can be obtained.
 With an estimated 800 poten- tial connections to the system existing in Kodiak. so far only 137 have applied for the sewer connection.
 The ordinance provides that everyone in the city limits must connect, pay connection charge and a sewer fee of $1 monthly.
