Kodiak, Alaska Jan. 2l, 1852

Kodiak, Alaska Jan. 2l, 1852 Mayor Lee Bettinger Dear Lee:
 I am sorry if I caused you difficulty in answering my letter to the editor. At the same time l am gratified that you did answer it. 1 am taking it to the editor of the Mirror and asking him to print it for two reasons-I hope, sincerely, that you will not object to my doing so.
 First, because 1 believe you are entitled to the same pub licity which my letter received Gin other words, a chance to strike back at mel and, Second, because l think It IS a good letter. 1 do not believe anyone could write a better letter without revealing the facts and figures which l seek to make public.
 You question my intelli- gence, you have perfect right to do so, as I make no claim to anything above plain horse sense.
 1 do not question yours, Lee, so you must know that 1 had nothing to gain personally in asking the questions I did in my letter that appeared in the Mirror January 12. Why not grant me that only wish public information to be made available to the public? | It is as simple as that. 1 feel that a great deal of public money has been expended in the hope that we might get a new water and sewer system and perhaps a housing rro- ject. We have no assurance that these things are positively forthcoming. Therefore. I feel that this money is being gambled on a speculation and in as much as it is public money, I ask you, the hold over councilmembers and your progressive party which spon- sors you, how much??
 Yes, 1 can go to the city hall and get the figures but if every citizen did that the place would be quite crowded. If there is no secret about the transaction of city affairs come right out in the press with the complete figures (and stop holding secret or special council meetings) and l will assure you that what ever small assistance my meager intelligence can give will be available for any pro- ject which is for the common good and welfare of the com- munity.
 Sincerely,
 Isl John s. Mclaughlin.

suggest that you write to the agencies involved because if this is a flow of money, cer
 tainly they should be able to tell you why they turn it on and off, If you have any ques- tion as to the work performed by the City and cost involved relative to the new water sys- tenn, you can find all the answers in the City records.
 You inquire as to why you did not know at an earlier date of a shortage in the ac- counts of the former City Clerk, Are you implying that the mayor and the council covered up? 1 would hardly call any matter secret in Ko- diak which was immediately known to so many people, that is, the council, the bank, the auditor, the city employees, the School Board, the Cover nor. the Territorial Attorney General, and the U. s. At torney. 1 was not in Kodiak at the time this matter was un- covered but l feel that the parties involved in it's dis closure handled the matter properly by securing immedi- ate restitution, by informing all proper officials, and then acting like Christian gentle men by refraining from persecution thru filthy gossip. Are you aware that the City Clerk and all other City en- pIoyees responsible for public funds are bonded and that their records are audited to disclose both errors and-or misappropriations? If you are bracing yourself for further disclosures, please relax, as the recently completed audit of Elmer Johnson, discloses no further shortages. There will always be dishonest en- ployees, both in private busi- ness and public employment and the best we can do is to attempt to select them on merit, bond them and then audit their accounts.
 You ask a number of ques- tions relative to the operation of the Police Department and the Street Department. I know that you are aware that these departments are oper- ated by Council Committees and not the Mayor. I am sure that these gentlemen are operating in the best interests of their departments, as they see the facts and needs. There is one question there containing a statement that I can correct. You state that it costs $200 9 month to operate the patrol car. 1 have before me an analysis of operating expenses for the first six months of this fiscal year, namely, April to September 30, and under the heading of Automobile Expense-Police Department" find an item of $375.5 Expenses certainly

MT. John S. Mclaughlin Kodiak, Alaska

DCdI WI dC.
 1 am in receipt of a copy of , he Kodiak Mirror of January i2, 1852. It concerns a letter to the Editor which purports to be occasioned by the fact that you do not know how to contact me, and are thus reaching me thru the press.
 1 l always attempt to answer correspondence regardless of it's nature. Sometimes this is very difficult. This is one of , those times. It requires con- siderable stretch of the imagination to consider your letter as a conscientious in- quiry for truth. l can think of many motives for having written this letter, all of which are to your discredit. However, it may be that you are so lacking in intelligence that you honestly do not know how to find the answers to the questions you propound. 1 You seem to be greatly troubled by my absence from Kodiak, what I may be doing in Washington, and what it is costing you as a taxpayer. If you care to study the records at the City Hall, you will find the purpose and results of my various absences from Kodiak. i Likewise, you will learn that very little of my expenses have ever been paid by the City. This present trip is en-
 tirely at my own expense, and
 1 am here for a number of purposes, none of which are ;personal. One of these matters
 is in connection with Public
 Law 139 of the 82nd Congress,
 and it might interest you to iknow that the Mayor of Fair
 banks is here and will be here Iseveral weeks on this one matter. It will probably as-
 tound you to know that the
 people of Fairbanks put up 1877, 900 for this work. In con-
 trast, I am here at my own
 expense, and get nasty pub-
