Letter to Editor

Dear Editor:
 For ten long years those in !! this community that voted to incorporate Kodiak with the thought in mind that doing so would be the way to a new schoo' have been given the run around by the politicians. The current program of cry ing "gimmie" for three to five time the funds that Kodiak can possibly pay back natural ly and for good cause is get ting nowhere.
 A town united and getting one project--our original pro- ject that we incorporated for a new school will be far ahead of the present going every where and getting nowhere program.
 r;th two overlapping politi- cal entities, the town and school district, a loan to one affe ects the others ability to re. pay an vice versa. With such a con b nation involved the willine ness to repay and the ability to repay cannot be pin ned down to a point where repayment of the sums re- quested can be assured the government.
 Two fast steps should be taken 10 correct this situation. 1.Disolve the school district. 2. Hold a special election to let the people choose the location of a new school from (a) pre- sent site enlarged. (b) East Addition site. (c) Signal Corps site.
 With the way cleared to
 secure a loan by elimination of overlapping borrowings plus the voice of the people in the
 choice of the site, Kodiak will
 have a foundation upon which
 to go ahead to a new school
 and a better future.
