ELECTION August "A

A Speclal electlon VIII pc held on Tuesday, August 24th, at the City Hall in Kodiak be- tween the, hours of 8 am and 7pm,. for the purpose of ratity- ing a proposition which wfli determine the length of office for the City Mayor and SIX Councilmen. Many questions have arisen about this special election as to it's purpose; Will the election have anything to do with those already in office, what is Ordinance l89, and So forth.
 The proposition to be voted on which was passed by the City Council and put before the people for ratification IS this:
 Shall Ordinance No. 189 of the City of Kodiak, passed and approved on July 18th 1854. be ratified?" Ratification is 3 :, confirmation or verifying the willingness of the people ef the City of Kodiak to have a
 Mayor and a Common Co unea isit in office for a period of two lyears. Ordinance No. l89 ie printed in full in this issue of the KODIAK MIRROR for Iyour study on page II.
 The resent Mayor and the Council are actually serving | Iyear terms which will be end ed this October because this proposition the people are now called upon to ratify has never been presented to the voters for approval, which is a man. datory piece of legislation. Three of the Councilmen elect ed to Office at the general election will have a one year term specified and the other three will be elected to atwG year term. Every succeeding election after this one in l954 will have three Councilmen on the ballot for a two year term. The present Mayor and Councils terms of office ter minate in October and for any of them to get back into office the voters of Kodiak will have to vote them back in at the general election.
 The usual qualifications for the electors apply to this spec ial election as regards age. length of residence etc. Registi ation to vote, in the
 4 past has always been a polnt for argument for the voters. Those voters that registered and voted in the last election (the SalesTax proposItlon) are not required to register for this election.

Giant Balloon Parade
At Silver Spring

Thousands of children and
parents lined Georgia avenue to-
day for Silver Springs annual
giant toy balloon parade.
Pre-parade estimates by
Charles H. Kopeland, executive
secretary Of the Silver Spring

Special Dispo,eh 10 The Star

BIG ISLAND, Va. Nov. 26.-
A freight engineer drowned yes
terday when his west-bound
Chesapeake & Ohio train plowed
into a rock slide and overturned
in the James River.
The engineer was w. A. Hill,
SO, of Clifton Forge, Va, whose
mother, Mrs. Anna M. Hill, lives
at 1922 Harrison street NV,
Washington. Three of his sisters
are Washington school teachers.
Mr.. Hills wife was visiting the
elder Mrs. Hill in Washington
yesterday when the accident
occurred. Mr.. Hill had planned
to spend the Thanksgiving holi-
day in Washington, too, but was
called to duty yesterday because
the regular engineer was on va
cation.
Slams Into Rock Slide.
The 83-car train slammed
into the slide as it rounded a
curve at Coleman's Bluff east
off here, according to the AS
sociated Press.
The head diesel unit tipped
on its side and was partially
submerged in the James. Two
other diesel units and three
cars were derailed.
Mr.. Hills body was pulled
from the cab of the submerged
diesel. DR.. E. L. Johnson, Bed
ford County medical examiner,
said he drowned.
Fireman j. w. Zell and E. M.
DWier, jr., head brakeman, both
Of Eagle Rock, were dunked in
the river but escaped serious in
jury. They were hospitalized
in nearby Lynchburg, suffering
from exposure and contusions.
Two other crew members were
not injured.
Near Lynchburg.
No. 81, the Speed West,
rammed into the rock slide at a
spot about Is miles west of
Lynchburg. Railroaders call it a
manifest" travelling on a fast
schedule.
A c. g. o. spokesman said the
slide came so quickly the rail-
roads electric warning device did
not have a chance to flash a
warning before the train hit the
slide.
The c. o. has electric fences
rugged on spots where rock slides
are likely. These flash warning
lights simultaneously on the cen
tralized traffic panel and on the
tracks when hit by rocks.
Mr.. Zell and Mr.. Dwier said
they were unable to stop the long
freight when they spotted rocks
on the tracks as they rounded
a curve at about 35 m.p.h.
Joined G. & o. in 1923.
Both said they walked about
a mile in wet clothes to a nearby
small town, Waugh. They said
they didn't know where Mr.. Hill
was in the derailed train.
Recent rains in the area of the
slide probably weakened the hill
side.
Mr.. Hill, a native of Pond Gap,
w. Va, went to work for the
C. & o. as a fireman in 1928. He
was made an engineer in 1943.
