t'lIY llELUS

Tie City Council, at its last regular fortnightly meeting voted unanimously to take over the Federal Jail and set up the operation as a City function. The Council was faced with the problem of either taking over the jail and operateing it as city property or have the Federal Govern ment operate it as they have the past three years, which would uecessitate the busting of the Police Office from the premises. The figured cost of the additional expense to the City by operating the jail was figured tobe around $3, 000. %, while on the other hand to find a suitable office for the police department, with it's 2 way radio and office fixtures would amount to a great deal more.
 To help offset this added ex- pense, MT. Casey the Superin- tendent of Territorial Police suggested boosting the room and board of all Federal prisoners from $2. % to $3. % a day. The US. Marshal's Office which has aIways been housed in the building would pay the city a rental.
 After carefully considering the proposal of the Territorial Jail Superintendent, the Coun- cil voted unanimusly to take over the jail by a motion from Councilman Cannon and a second by CounciltnanDeVeau. There are two surplus pum- pers at the Naval Station which are badly needed by the City to back up the apparatus here, which the Naval Station offered to the City for their re. moval. The Council gladly ac- cepted them.
 The Dock Committee gave a very thorough report on the

condition of the City Dock.

condition of the City Dock. The Committee felt that four changes were of a most urgent nature The switch which oper- ates the Dock lights is in need of immediate repair. The pre- sent one is a fire hazard, and during stormy weather shorts out causing fire works dis play around the post on which it hangs. The warming room on the Dock is a liability in its present condition due to not enough heat to insure produce from fire ezing during cold weather. Here again IS a fire hazard due to the manner in which the stove in the warm room is hooked up with its stack protruding through the side of the building. By nov ing a partition in the building. it will afford some badly need ed room in the warm room, and the heater can be placed on a cement slab which was built for that purpose and the stove pipe can be hooked up into a regular chimney with a forced draft that will give more heat and burn less fuel.
 Rest rooms at the City Dock
 also came up for a great deal of discussion and their install
 lation will be forthcoming in the near furture.
 The fourth drastic measure which is urgently needed in the Dock area is the repair of the ramp the KEA men must use to read the meters supply ing the Doc area with electric ity. It is unsafe and could be instrumental in causing the IKEA meter readers death by Slipping into the ocean below.
 The Council voted unani- mously to repair these defects at the City Dock, with other
 improvements of not such a
 drastic nature to come at a
 later date.

LETTER To EDITOR
Dear Editor:

The MIRRORS" statement
 in last weeks editorial to the
 effect that in all probability the school work missed by Ma tional Guarders and basketball players would not have to be made up is a dangerous error of opinion. Scho1l l work in Kodiak is not treated lightly. Kodiak High School warriors, whether they be with the basketball team or with the national guard, have to keep up with their school work.
 The boys who will depart shortly for the national guard encampment at Anchorage, have long ago been afforded, detailed lists of the work they will miss while they are gone. They are expected to work at these lists while they are gone and they must have the work done by the end of the six weeks marking period, or they funk. The national guard has been asked for assistance in this matter, and they have re- sponded by setting upa special study period during the An chorage encampment so that scnool boys can have the time necessary to do this assigned work, and so they won't fail.
 This system of assigning work in advance and then re ouiring that it be done also holds true for the basketball players when they go to the tournament each spring. Here though, we have a little more control. No player who is doing poorly in sch oolis allowed to go in t e first place.
 One vital point missed by the MIRROR in this editorial lis that the young people under discussion are minors. As min ors the final permission to go either to the basketball tourn- annent or to join the national
 guard rests not with the high school or the national guard but with the parents of these boys.
 l We guide, and train. but it is the parents who give the permission and hence contro
 these activities.

Our heartest congratulations to Beth FL Congregation
on the signal occasion of its mortgage-burnlng
That makes Beth Ell the first of the citys big postwar
built synagogues to retire its debt.
All together it took the congregation little less than
eight years to pay off it's $250O00 obligation from the
time the first section of the building started IN De-
cember of 1916 to the present date. nasmuch as the
synagogue wasn't fully built until September, 1880 1t
can be seen that the debfundng accomplished with
in less than years after the completion of the pro-
ect That as things the world of church indebted
ness is mighty fast work
By way of giving credit where it's due, should note
that the synagogue was built and financed under the
guidance of Morris Mecker who then president and
the remaining debt retired under the successive ad-
ministrations of Sam Schurgn and Sam Smith.
Congratulations to all of you and to congregants
It's wonderful feeling, isn't it?
