Far Too Conservative

ed for construction of a pro-
posed addition to the Hardin
grade school, according to in
formation from the board of
trustees of school district No.

Taxpayers of the district have

one year, which will raise APP
proximately $4,000 the APP
proximate estimated cost of adj
ditional rooms planned at that
time. f.,
When bids were opened to
award construction contracts, it
was found that, through rising
costs and too conservative plan
ming, the cost will be far in ex-
cess Of the original estimate.
In order to proceed and carry
the program through to COM
pletion, additional money must
be raised and it was suggested
by the state Department of Ed
ucation at Helena that a bond
issue for the additional money
required be voted by the tax
payers of district No. 17-H.
School officials are now work
ing out the full cost of a build

the required additional class
rooms, including all furniture

Kodiak Pilot Found On Beach

Burl Clymer, 39, local pilot, missing for five days on a flight from Port Williams to Chignik, was found by a 10th Rescue BY at 6:06pm Sunday on the beach at Aniakchak Bay.

 A Kodiak based Coast Guard PBY delivered fuel and oil to the downed airman and he continued his flight to Chignik. Earlier the B-17 dropped blankets and food.
 Clymer was carrying 50 loaves of bread and no pas sengers on the flight. He had nothing but bread to eat for five days. Clymer has been described locally as a we'll bread-pilot".
 Weather prevented rescue planes from spotting the downed airman for the first four days of the search.

Chamber Of Commerce Asks
 For Action On City Clean Up

The Chamber of Commerce, disgusted with the skid shacks, burned out buildings left stand ing and the general run down appearance of Kodiak, went on record Thursday as support ing any action the City Council may take against property ow- 'ners whose premises and build- ings are in a state of disrepair.
 Tt is a disgrace to any in- corporated city, and a source of constant embarrassment to residents when visitors come here, for any city to have ord finances regarding sanitation and fire hazards and not en- force them,' John Gibbons QoCldroQ.
 Numerous instances where persons have moved skid shacks into town and built temporary houses after build ing permits were denied by the council were cited by vari- ous speakers during the regu- lar meeting at the Montmartre Inn Thursday.
 Steps to obtain a permanent chief of police, who would en- force ordinances on all phases of clean up, sanitation and building, were discussed. It was reported during the meet
Kodiak mirror., 1951-06-30

ing that the present acting chief of police was resigning on July 1.
 Among 12 places mentioned that needed to be cleaned up or torn down were the old Lyric Theatre building, which was gutted by fire on two oc- casions, and the old burned out Cohen residence behind the Kodiak Hotel.
 It was pointed out that some of the worst appearing proper ties and buildings are owned by persons holding restricted deeds and that the only way to remove or rage the build- ings is for the City of Kodiak to foot the bill.
 "I'd like to know if the mai ority of the taxpayers want us to spend their money cleaning up and improving someone else's property" Jack Hinck- el, city councilman and mem- Der of the c of c, asked.
 The letter to the council asks that it notify owners, whose buildings are in bad repair. to clean up. The c of c recom- mended that if they fail to do so within 30 days, a crim- inal complaint be filed.

Cook inlet
 Reds SIPS

The price on red salmon scared to an time high of $1.25 Wednesday as canneries intensified their efforts to ob- tain boatloads of the scarce fish.
 The price war between the canneries was brought on by the poor run of reds. The price of reds at Chignik is re- ported to have hit $1. The area was closed to all commercial fishing last week because of the poor run of fish.
 The regular run of reds in the Cook Inlet area usually reaches it's peak around July orr.
 Kodiak boats and fishermen rushed into the already crowded Cook Inlet area as news of the high prices cir culated rapidly around Kodiak Island.
