Water Again
Needs Boiling

Kodiak residents were
warned Monday to again boil
all water, coming from the
city system.
Low temperatures and
freezing conditions forced
the city water crew to start
pumping operations at Beaver
Lake, emergency city supply,
to provide enough for local
use.
Pressure in the mains along
Mission road was reported as
very low" and the supply in
the tank above the city dock
was gradually getting lower.
The chlorination unit at the
city equalization tank can not
be used during pumping
operations as the unit will not
function.
For the unit to operate the
pressure must be steady and
the chlorination unit properly
adjusted. When the water
supply comes from the reser-
voir to the equalization tank
through the gravity feed sys-
tenn the chlorination unit can
be operated. ut, .rwgs
Water users are cautioned
against leaving their taps
running to prevent freezing
and are requested to help con-
serve the present inadequate
supply, Mill Vokacek, city
water superintendent said
yesterday.

danger of fighting fires be-
cause of the small supply of
water.

The Game and Inland Fish Com
mission this week announced open
seasons on squirrels, mourning
doves and woodcock.
On October 5 the season will OPP
en- on squirrels and extend through
October 81, excepting in Garrett
County, where the open season on
this small game animal will be Oc-
tober 10 to October 81, inclusive.
The woodcock season opens the
same day and runs through No
vember 3. The Commission points
out that this is an innovation" in
the State in that it has been the
policy to open the woodcock season
along with the upland game season
November Is.
The season for mourning doves
runs along with the woodcock sea-
son - namely, October 5 through
November 3. This is later open
ing than last year. The Commits
sion explained that mourning
doves, considered non-game bird
in most of the northern states, has
been subjected to heavy hunting in
the states where it is a game bird,
and also has been afflicted with d
contagious disease that has reduc-
ed its numbers in some sections.
Also, the number of birds hereto
fore killed in September were
young birds. 1t was, therefore,
deemed wise to open the dove sea-
son later than September /, as is
the case in most neighboring
states. Federal Migratory Bird
regulations, just promulgated, give
the duck and goose shooters five
additional days this season. 1t OPP
